Tracy Jolley Anderson

After high school, I sent my boyfriend off on a mission, and I went to Dixie College where I received an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Fashion Merchandising/Marketing. I became the department manager over accessories at ZCMI, and bought a brand new car. Then I decided to become a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I served in the Massachusetts Boston mission! I lived in four areas of the state, where each city was settled from a different country, so it was extremely culturizing (if that is a word). It was a great experience!
When I came home I went back to ZCMI, where I dreamed of becoming a buyer. I almost moved to Salt Lake so I would be noticed a little better, but my boyfriend didn't like that too much.
While working at ZCMI Paul Anderson from our grade came shopping with his fiance. He took my number to supposedly set me up with his brother, and a few months later asked me for a date! About a year later we were married!
I left working at ZCMI as an Area Manager to work and open up the new Desert Industries store. I learned a lot from working with all of the different people there.
Then , I started having my family and was able to stay home (mostly). I did the books at Paul's piano store for awhile and worked part time at the DI for a little bit.
I have a good husband and four good kids that I am very grateful for. And I love that I am able to still live in sunny St. George!

Memories from school are: lots of flirting with boys, hanging out with girlfriends, going to lunch and speeding back to school, hanging out on the boulevard, spring breaks, state basketball trip, the big green car, senior sleep over , the senior trip, all kinds of dances, and almost crying in driver's ed.
