Sharon Price Anderson
Sharon was born in California and lived in Washington, Alabama, New York, Colorado and Germany before attending Brigham Young University where she met her future husband, Peter.
After they were married, they spent a year on the Omaha Indian Reservation in Nebraska and then lived in Moorpark, Ventura County, California. Sharon graduated Magna Cum Laude from BYU in 1970. At that time, the first three of their nine children were three years, two years, and one month old. Surprisingly, their ninth child was born in 1994, just two and a half months after their tenth grandchild. So far they have thirty-six grandchildren and nineteen great grands.
The Andersons lived Mojave Desert in California from 1969 to 1995 and then moved back to Utah Valley where, as Time Lines Etc., Sharon began writing and illustrating history curriculum materials for home-schooled children and other students of all ages.
Recognizing that our religious liberty and other freedoms are in jeopardy, Sharon and Peter have been actively engaged in politics on city, county and state levels. In 2017, Sharon helped organize a Utah coalition called Stand Strong for the Constitution.
Sharon’s poems have appeared in the Ensign, the Friend, the New Era, BYU Studies, 9-11: Poems for September 11th, Poetry Panorama, and the 2005 and 2015 editions of Utah Sings (published every ten years by the Utah State Poetry Society). Besides receiving numerous state and national awards, she has read her poetry at BYU women’s conferences and her work has been featured at cultural arts recognition events of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.. She has done many presentations based on her book, Praising the Prophet—Joseph Smith and the Restoration in History and Verse, as well as special programs featuring her poetic insights on Christmas, temples, and the Life and Atonement of Jesus Christ.
Her callings have included ward and stake Primary president, early morning seminary teacher, Relief Society counselor and teacher, teacher improvement coordinator, and temple preparation instructor. She and her husband served together as missionaries at the Family History Training Center in Orem, Utah and are currently serving as ordinance workers in the Provo, Utah Temple.
