Wanda Turnbow
Wanda was born on Burderop AFB, in Wilshire County, England. She was 1 of 7 children born to United States Navy and Air Force Veteran, MSGT Bruce M. Turnbow from Moab Utah, and mother Pilar Molina Turnbow from Waipahu, Hawaii. Growing up as a military dependent, she lived and visited many places across the world from England to Japan and the Philippines as well as several US States with her family. It was a great opportunity for her to experience different cultures of the world firsthand. Something not many has the fortune to do before 18 years old.
Early in life, Wanda was raised on a 40-acre ranch in Weber County, Utah where she learned the essentials of life from her wonderful and industrious parents. Her family grew their own organic vegetable gardens and maintained an array of fruit orchards and acres of alfalfa fields. They also raised their own livestock of cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese. Her young life was filled with learning the important tasks of taking care of a list of chores from cleaning, cooking meals, caring for the animals, planting and harvesting fruits and vegetables and was educated on how to preserve and store foods by canning, freezing, and butchering, dehydrating all of these staples each year for the winter.
