Author Biography: I was born and reared in Utah except for brief periods in Nevada when my father’s career in ranching took us to that state. I graduated from Brigham Young High School in Provo. Before my sophomore year in college was completed, I had met and married my husband, Corrin, and we left for a semester of study abroad in Salzburg, Austria, followed by some European travel. After returning home my life became centered in our growing family and we eventually had 12 children, though one daughter died in infancy. I continued my education through those years in small ways as time and circumstances permitted and by the time all the children were in school I began to focus more intently in that endeavor. Fortunately, the family participated willingly in my efforts and even sealed and stamped hundreds of letters that went out in my first field research study. Getting Mom through school was a family affair. Over time I completed an Associates degree at Dixie College, a B.S. degree at Southern Utah State College, and a Master’s and Ph.D. from Brigham Young University. In later years I taught some classes at Mojave Community College, Brigham Young University, and Dixie State College. After Corrin’s retirement we taught in the China Teacher’s Program sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints through the Kennedy Center at BYU, and enjoyed two separate years teaching in China’s universities. Presently, we live in northern Utah, where I research and write. The parallel experiences of continuing education, and the years of being an at-home mother, came together to make mothering my work and my passion and I continue to speak for and write about its divine importance in any way I can. The stories and insights I have received from other mothers have enlightened this subject, and I hope such participation will continue to contribute to our understanding of mothering. @2009 Alternate email: mothering@janicenielson.com

Family gathered to say goodbye to our beloved wife, mother, and grandmother. Karen was born on March 26, 1938 in Provo, Utah to Ida Lavon Penrod and William Jairus Keith. She was born at her home on 5th South, the seventh of eight talented children. Music, singing, and the gospel of Jesus Christ were central in her home. Her early family years were often spent playing and singing together. The tradition of sing-alongs with her beloved siblings continued throughout their lives. Karen grew up attending Maeser Elementary, Farrer Junior High, and Provo High School where she graduated in 1956. After high school, she took classes at BYU and developed a passion for learning and literature. She was an avid book reader and especially loved the classics. Karen met Jed Gibson, the love of her life, during a chance encounter at Provo Bakery. She noticed the handsome University of Utah football star and walked in and bought a donut, being sure he noticed her. It worked! He followed her out to the street and asked her for a date. After a whirlwind courtship they married on November 25, 1959 and were later sealed for time and all eternity in the Manti Temple. Karen adored and loved her Jed with her whole heart and soul. They enjoyed 63+ years together. Jed tenderly and lovingly cared for her every need during the last difficult years of her life. Karen and Jed have five children. They began their married life in Provo and then moved to New York for Jed’s graduate schooling. After he finished school, they settled in Rexburg, Idaho for Jed’s employment at Ricks College. They spent 20 years in Rexburg raising their family and had many dear friends. Karen worked at the High School as a substitute teacher and in other teaching roles. Later, she took a job with Diet Center and became the Vice President of training. It was Karen’s job that took their family to Scottsdale, Arizona in 1986 where Karen and Jed built their dream home. Their Arizona years were spent swimming with kids and grandkids, hot-tubbing, and soaking up the sun. Karen and Jed moved back to Provo in 1993. After returning, Karen discovered her voice through writing poetry. She went on to win countless awards and was often invited to host poetry readings with her sisters. One of her greatest honors was taking second place in the Utah State Poetry Society for her manuscript. Her most cherished accomplishment was collaborating with her sisters on their book, “Bread and Milk and Music: Three Sisters’ Voices,” which is a treasured gift for her family and friends. Karen was a devout member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Her gratitude and love for Jesus Christ showed in all she did. While she was endlessly talented and creative, she was most known for her welcoming and accepting spirit. Karen loved hosting parties and get-togethers. Her home was warm, beautiful, and truly a refuge from the world to all who came in contact with her. Karen is preceded in death by her parents, by her grandson, William Jackson Magette, and by her siblings, Allan Keith, William Keith, Beverly Golightly, Helen Beaman, and Mary Boyack. She is survived by her husband, Jed Gibson, and her children, Brian Gibson (Julie), Brent Gibson (Ann), Karrie Sibley (Kris), Kamille Magette (Marc), Katie Brimley (Greg), 20 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren (and counting).

Gilbert has been associated with BYU throughout his life and says he still feels inspired and thrilled every time he comes to campus. The Phoenix-based attorney's affiliation began in childhood when he attended BY Elementary, BY Junior High, and BY High School. He then attended BYU as a history major and served as student body president. His father, who died while Gilbert was a child, was a BYU assistant football coach, and his second father was a BYU dean. The roots go even deeper. His mother taught English at BY High, all seven of his brothers and sisters have attended BYU, and the tradition is continuing with his own children. "My wife Susan and I have consistently brought our children to Provo for Homecoming to create a feeling of excitement about coming to this fine school," he says. "Two of my children have already graduated from BYU, another is attending the university, and my last child, a senior in high school, plans to attend BYU. "That will make us four for four," he adds. "We do believe in free agency in our home. I have told my children they could attend whatever college they wanted, but I have always added that BYU was paid for." Although Gilbert attended the University of California, Berkeley, for his law degree, he says that, despite receiving a very good education there and forming some close and lasting friendships, his feelings toward UC Berkeley don't approach the depth of his commitment to BYU.
