Love through the Ages:
The Journey of a Lifelong Friendship
OUr story
Love at First Sight
From Rawney's Life Story -
"It was at at Bountiful Jr. High that I saw this well endowed young lady that I could not let go of. She got me excited enough that I could run from her house to mine without stopping. I finally bought me a Cushman scooter so that I could travel to Centerville to see her. By the 8th grade, I was able to talk my dad into letting me take the car, but had to be home early, except for a few times. "

Married in the Salt Lake Temple
"We were like two peas in a pod and we were together most every night. I think her dad was tired of me.. but this young lady grew on me more and more and would eventually become my wife, your mother, your mother-in law, your grandmother, and your great grandmother. Guess what, we fell in love and were married before we were 20 years old!"
Starting a Family
"We honey mooned in Ryrie Idaho for 3 days and I had to hurry home to return to work. Our first home was a basement apartment in Bountiful for about 6 months, we then moved to the Ford apartments and was starting a family before I was 20 years old. Our first boy was born in 1952."
Let the good times Roll
"After I left my partnership business, and had settled my family into our new old house, I was offered a job with a family owned business Nicholas & Co. We were expecting our 2nd girl Diane, then I started at Nicholas as their second salesman. After a few years I was asked to go into sales management."
Family
The last of 10 children Angela, joined the family. Rawney and Lucille owned maintained apartments in the bountiful area in their spare time.
Lava
"Back in 1986 the Reid family wanted to buy some mountain property so the families could go camping and enjoy the mountains. When you kids were all little we went to different mountain area's for a summer vacation, sometimes fun other times not. So, we looked at properties in different areas and bought at Lava Hot Springs, Idaho. Lucille and I took the project over.. we took out a lot of trees, leveled some area, put in a sewer system cut roads and have electricity for our bowery and we have had a lot of good family get togethers and hope you all keep it going."
69 Years of Marriage
After celebrating 50 years of marriage in 2000, Rawney eventually retired from Nicholas & Co. and would go on to working at a convenience store in his spare time. He and Lucille settled into their condo in Centerville. In 2019 Rawney and Lucille celebrated 69 years of marriage.
