Becky Kristiansen

 

 

Becky is currently serving in our ward as the Primary secretary and she loves it! She has a long history of primary callings starting from age 11 when she was asked to teach nursery. Then at age 15 she was called as the primary chorister. She has absolutely loved all of her primary callings.

 

Becky is married and has 7 children and 27 grandchildren! She is also a co-mother-in-law with 2 women in our ward since 2 of her children married members the Everett 2nd ward. With the exception of 1, all of her children are scattered across the country so she doesn't get to see them very often. But every 2 years her and her husband host "cousin camp". They send schedules to the grandkids with a few fun things and some very boring things like "Grandpa Lecture". Then when it's time for the "lecture" they surprise them and go out to breakfast and bowling in their pajamas instead. The whole event is "such outrageous 24/7 fun!" 

 

When her 5th daughter graduated from high school she wasn't interested in college.  Becky had only attended one semester of college at the time so she suggested they take a few classes together. It went well and the next semester they both signed up for a full course load.  The whole time Becky was in college she was well aware that she was the oldest person in every single class but she had a mantra; "How old will you be in 5 years if you don't complete college" It was the same age either way so she kept going.  Then sure enough 5 years later she graduated with her daughter and they were able to walk together. Now  Becky works at Eisenhower Middle School as a Special Education teacher.

 

Becky enjoys watching "Dives, Diners and Drive-Ins" and "Shark Tank". She also likes reading and thinking about the next day at school. Her favorite hymn is "I Believe in Christ" sung in full voice and would like it sung at her funeral without slowing down the tempo! To Becky, the most important things in her life are the gospel, her husband and her family.
