ABOUT ME
My name is Suzanne Giles Stagg. I was born during
World War 2, in the military hospital
in Ft. Benning. Georgia. My angel parents
called me their Georgia girl because all of my five siblings were born in
Utah. After the war we moved to Utah where I've lived all of my life!
I
had a happy childhood in Salt Lake City attending Emerson Elementary, Roosevelt
Jr. High and East High School, graduating in the class of 1962. I married my high school sweetheart, Wilford W. Stagg, one year after graduation and we
raised seven beautiful children in Salt Lake City, Taylorsville, Sandy, and
Grantsville, Utah.
I was blessed to be a “stay at home” Mom, teaching and training my own children, plus our Navajo foster daughter, nieces, nephews and neighborhood children. My life was busy growing gardens and orchards, taking
independent study courses from BYU,
serving in my church and my children’s school, managing the Stagg Swim School in our backyard pool, traveling with my husband and children, and studying natural healing and herbs.
I love missionary service! My husband and I served four LDS missions - as stake mission President and Secretary in Grantsville, an
inner city mission in Rose Park, a proselyting mission in Cambodia and an MLS
in the Utah Provo Mission. My husband is the sweetest missionary companion and life partner. He is not only my better half but all my missing pieces. We
celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary in 2013!
Writing is my passion.
My book – “Conquering My Fears in Cambodia – My Mission of Miracles” was
published in 2010 and can be found on my blog - Conqueringmyfears.blogspot.com. This
blog is my new book – “Conquering My Fears – My Journey Through Parkinson’s”. I have a blog that includes lots of our fun family
pictures and adventures – Joyful Grandmother.blogspot.com. My latest blog includes my journal of
inspirational writing – My Journal of Inspiration.
