Eagle Mountain couple celebrate 50th anniversary

By Julianna Sheldrake
Julianna and Stephen Sheldrake of Eagle Mountain celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary November 11, Veteran's Day, among the Red Cliffs of Moab. A place the native Californians have frequented on several anniversaries since moving to Utah in 1999. The Sheldrakes met while Steve was in the Marine Corp stationed in California and were "pen pals" during the Vietnam War.

The couple have 3 children, 2 sons and a daughter and 3 grandchildren, 2 granddaughters and a grandson living in Lehi and Eagle Mountain.

Steve graduated from the University of Washington and UCLA as a laser physicist and retired in 2013. Julianna retired as an Execuitive Secretary in 2007 when she relocated from Park City to Lehi.

Members of the Lehi Senior Center, they enjoy Tai Chi classes, hiking and touring Utah's National Parks and golfing on the golf course they live on in the Ranches. Members of the Southmoor Ward, they continue to be active in Scouting for over 36 years, helping young men achieve their Eagle award.

Their greatest joy in retirement they stated, is watching their grandchildren grow and accomplish success in their lives. Their secret to longevity in their marriage, "Hang on and enjoy the ride, the
rode gets bumpy at times, but when you're a "team" you can get through anything"!
