Meet the Carsons

Kendall and Mary Jean Carson came to St. George for one teeny, tiny reason. Oldest daughter Stephanie and her husband Tyrell Bangerter already lived in southern Utah, as did their son Kadin Carson . . . but it was the birth of their first grandchild - 6 lb. 11 oz. Kylee Marie Bangerter born July 18 - which made the Carson's decide to relocate to St. George after 24 years in Overton, Nevada. Kendall and Mary Jean met in Richfield while both were attending Sevier Valley Technical College. After their marriage, the couple moved to Overton to work for NV Energy (formerly Nevada Power and Light) as a control operator. In his church service, Kendall has served with 9 bishops as either the financial clerk or the membership clerk, calling his "the perfect calling" because he doesn't like the limelight. When not traveling up and down the I-15 freeway on his days off, Kendall spends his leisure time shooting and keeping up his carpentry skills. Mary Jean is now a stay-at-home grandma caring for her family, including 16-year-old daughter Lisa, and 6-month-old grandbaby Kylee while Stephanie works as the office manager for Apple-A-Day Dental. In her spare time, Mary Jean enjoys sewing, quilting, crafts and "playing with the baby." Youngest daughter Lisa, who recently received her Young Woman of Excellence Award, is a scrapbooking, poetry writing sophomore at Dixie High School where she maintains a 4.0 gpa.
