Lenna Panisi Loveridge

Lenna Panisi Loveridge was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, and currently lives in Colorado with her husband and six children. You may find it interesting that she has a BS in political science from the University of Utah, but it’s just as important that you know she was regularly featured on Tamara Uzelac Hall’s quote wall during those heady U of U days. Lenna is studying the Tongan language to increase fluency so she can follow up her favorite question, “Ko ho’o Alu ki fe?” (Where are you going?) with “Please bring me a sandwich and a Diet Coke before you do.” Lenna feels a deep and abiding connection to her Tongan ancestors; for their faith enough to move mountains and especially for their faith to move TO the mountains. For which she is so grateful.
