Connie Weed was born in Fillmore, Utah, a fifth-generation member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She, being the great-granddaughter of Mosiah Lyman Hancock, has inherited many of his poetic skills and love of music.
After graduating from high school, she moved to Provo to attend Brigham Young University with the intent of obtaining her Mrs. Degree, but when funds ran low and the female competition was astronomical, she decided to abandon ship and go find work.
In 1970 she moved to Salt Lake City, where she met her first husband, thus obtaining that most sot after Mrs. Degree. Following her great-grandpa's example, she dutifully kept a journal of her life experiences, which is now a published memoir listed as “Just Another Old Tree.”
PAW Book is also a memoir she has published, which is a collection of her late husband's over 800 sayings and stories, as he dictated them before his untimely demise at the young age of seventy.
Over the years, she has written many stories and poems with the intent of pursuing publication. But it seemed as though her life was being slung from a slingshot, days, weeks, and years at a time.
Now that the kids are grown and the dust has settled, it is finally time to accomplish her goals. Available now is a lifelong collection of old-time recipes, over 300 in her most recent book, “Grandma’s Favorite Recipe Collection,” and hopefully “Shadow Man” will be another of many more.
