Meet the Stephensons

Bob and Cindy Stephenson have lived in St. George for 11 wonderful years. With their recent move across Man-O-War Bridge, they are pleased with their new neighborhood and look forward to getting to know another ward family in the Bloomington Stake.

As a young man, Bob served a mission in the Washington DC/Virginia area, then returned home to attend Utah State University where he graduated with a degree in Landscape Architecture. Cindy received an associates degree from Ricks College, then almost completed a bachelors degree in English Literature at Utah State before her studies were interrupted when she met and fell quickly and madly in love. Bob and Cindy were sealed in the Oakland California Temple and have enjoyed 31 delightful and eventful years. Throughout their married life the Stephenson’s have lived in lovely places from the east to the west -from Maryland to Oregon and a several places in-between.

Bob and Cindy have been blessed with 5 wonderful, talented children, all who have served or are now serving missions.

Eldest sons Rob and Joe are both married with children and both families live in St George!

Only daughter Anna was married in June and now lives in Logan with her new husband, where they both work and go to school.

Clark recently returned from a mission in Chile, and plans to complete his associates degree at Dixie then finish his college education elsewhere.

Youngest son Brian left in July for a mission in Ventura, California.

Bob and Cindy have both served faithfully in the Church throughout their married life, each serving in a variety of callings. She has taught and served as president in Primary, and as a counselor in Relief Society. He has been in a bishopric and together they have served in the nursery, in scouts and as chairmen of the activities committee.

Bob has been in real estate development for the last 18 years. With the downturn in the economy, he has returned to residential landscape design and repair, as well as website SEO optimization for companies wanting to increase their online presence.

Cindy has what she honestly believes to be the best “job” in the world. For the last 7 years she has had the blessing and privilege of being a hiking guide for a local health spa. This means she gets to hike 3 to 6 days a week in the glorious red desert of St George!!! The added benefits of this 'job' is she gets to share her love and appreciation and beauty of the area . . .plus, she often gets to share her feelings about being a member of the Church. She gets to hike, exercise and meet new people from all over the country, all in the name of 'work.”

“We have been greatly blessed and know all our blessings come from a loving, compassionate Heavenly Father, whom we love to serve,” notes Cindy.
