I graduated from Weber High School, and I have a Bachelor’s degree from Weber State College. I married my husband Rod Clendenin, we were married 1 day short of 37 years went he died, I had 3 children my youngest died in a motorcycle accident in 2019 and 2 months later my husband died of cancer. I have 7 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild.
Rod and I started an auto repair business together, now I run it myself with the help of my wonderful employees. I started going blind with Macular Degeneration, when Rod was very sick with cancer and it progressed very fast. We loved snowmobiling and riding our 4 wheelers exploring ghost towns, not just Utah, but all over Idaho, Montana, & Nevada.
I am a member of the Daughters of the Utah pioneers, and on the board for the North Ogden Historical Museum.
I have always been fascinated by ghost towns and the history and stories they tell. This fascination led me to write the Shadowy Remains of Utah’s Towns, which is a comprehensive guide to many of the ghost towns in Utah.
Many years of research went into writing Shadowy Remains of Utah’s Towns, to give you the most accurate information possible. Research included; books, internet, museums, experts, people familiar with the area, and a personal trip to as many locations as possible.
