Meet last year's 3 honorees:
When 36-year old Soji Larson thinks back on her childhood, she pictures the bright colors of a desert sunset and the sounds of sprinklers watering the fields around her hometown of Grantsville, UT. Surrounded by family, cousins galore, and many great friends, growing up a Grantsville cowboy is still a great source of pride and a memory that she holds close to her heart. So close, in fact, that she and her childhood friend turned husband, Jay Larson, chose years ago that there was nowhere they’d rather raise their own family than in their very own hometown.

Tooele-resident and mother of 3, Jesica Thompson, may have grown up in south Salt Lake, but after spending the last 23 years in Tooele, it’s the only place she considers “home”.
After a childhood filled with sweet memories of fishing and hiking with her grandparents, what better place to settle down and carry on her love of camping and hiking with her own family than in Tooele, UT-where the opportunities for outdoor adventure are limitless?
The Thompson family beginnings trace back to a simple blind date on Nov 1, 2001. A trip to Olive Garden, a Jazz Game, and a friendly game of bowling later and the rest is history. Chris and Jesica were inseparable from that moment forward and were married 6 short months later on May 17, 2002.

If you were to ask Tooele resident and mother of six, Patti Whitbeck, about her childhood, she would likely tell you with a big smile on her face that it was pure “magic.” With the “best parents on earth” and the freedom to let her imagination run wild while exploring alongside her 4 sisters and 2 brothers in the small and intimate setting of Beaver, UT, Patti grew up feeling safe, loved, and very blessed.
As wonderful as those years in Beaver were, however, over the years most of the family has made their way out to beautiful Tooele County, including her parents, with whom Patti and her husband of 20 years, Ted Whitbeck, and their two youngest children, now reside. Patti describes this living situation as a win-win for everyone-Patti and Ted can support Patti’s parents in their golden years, and her parents are now there to support, comfort, and laugh with them through the trial of cancer and other life events. They cherish spending time together as a family – especially enjoying delicious home cooked meals, game nights, and making holiday memories.
If you have ever met Patti Whitbeck, you will not be a bit surprised at her response to being asked about her favorite hobbies and interests.
