Elder and Sister Whiting in the Philippines: We are the Whiting's

We are Elder Mark and Sister Cheryl Whiting; called to serve in the Philippines Angeles Mission. Although we were both born and raised in the Heber Valley, we met at BYU and were married in 1976. We haven't strayed far from home; living in Provo, Utah, Grand Junction, Colorado, and Orem, Utah before returning back home to Midway where we raised five children. Our oldest son, Bryant, lives in St. George, Utah and practices urology at Dixie Regional Medical Center. He is married to Rebecca Wayment (who has earned my undying gratitude for setting up this blog), and they have five children ranging in age from 15 years down to 18 months. Our second son, Nicholas is branch manager for Zions Bank in Orem Utah. He and his wife Shauna Cummings, live in Saratoga Springs, Utah. They have three girls ages 12, 11, and 8. Our daughter Crystal married Rob Tomlinson and they reside in Ridgecrest, California, where Rob works as a budget analyst. They have four children ranging in age from 11 years to 2 years. Our youngest daughter Deanna is married to Marlo Bell and they reside in Humble, Texas where Marlo is an IT specialist for Exxon Mobile. They are the parents of four children ages 7 years to 2 months. And finally, our youngest son Alex is 21; his wife and family are to be determined at a future date. (In other words he's single) If you did the math right then you know we have 16 grandchildren scattered all over the West.

Elder Whiting retired from Lifetime Products where he spent 25 years as their CFO, overseeing the rapid growth from a small local manufacturing company to an international entity employing about 4,000 people in the United States, China, Mexico, France, etc. He loved his job and the people he worked with. Sister Whiting raised the kids and loved every minute of it. We love to garden, go boating, ride our quarter horses, and spend time outdoors. Most of all, we love spending time with our family.
