Kerri, the second of seven children, grew up in Sandy, Utah. Kerri and her husband, Bob, met at Brigham Young University. After Kerri graduated with a BA in design and a minor in business, they moved to the Seattle area where their three children were born. The Brown family later moved back to the Wasatch Front where Kerri has enjoyed volunteering at her children’s school and extracurricular activities.

Jill was born and raised in the small town of Heber, Arizona, where God chose to concentrate a high percentage of “salt of the earth” people. Raised by two great parents, one Latter-day Saint and one who doesn’t believe in God, her 50/50 upbringing shaped her perspective on God, families, the gospel and the Church (pssst they aren’t the same thing). She graduated from ASU in ‘97, worked a while, then stayed home to raise kids, and in 2014 jumped back into the workforce where she created and ran a youth program for kids who have a loved one with ALS. She has a super cool and genuinely nice husband (Kristin’s brother) who is a really good psychiatric nurse and amusing storyteller. They have four very fun kids each with hair that spans the neapolitan ice cream spectrum (strawberry = redhead) which draws amused comments from most people. She currently lives in Spokane, Washington, where God prompted them to move during a pandemic because apparently He wanted to have more conversations with her. That hope was fulfilled as she honed her skills of sincere and honest prayer conversations because as it turns out, pandemic + teenagers + move across the country = hard. She hearts all the good things in life: road trips, going barefoot, artisan ice cream, and Canada.

Eleah Boyd is wife to her best friend and mom to their five fabulous children (plus one in heaven). She is a daughter, sister, aunt, friend, and a soon-to-be grandma! She and her husband have worked together in business for their entire 28-year marriage and she wouldn’t have it any other way. She enjoys helping others achieve their goals and follow their dreams. Eleah loves the gospel of Jesus Christ. She counts it as one of her great privileges to be an ordinance worker in the Houston Temple, where she gets to see the power of temple blessings working in people’s lives. She recently received her bachelor’s degree in Marriage and Family Studies from BYU-Idaho. Currently, she is working on letting God prevail in her life, facing each day with optimism, and not biting her fingernails. She would like her headstone to read simply, “She gave great hugs!”
