Edith Jannette Skinner Haddock was born April 1,1924 in Montpelier, Idaho. Her parents were Charles and Janet Wixom Skinner. She spent her younger years living with her grandma, May Jannette Wixom, whom she loved dearly. They spent many hours together making quilts. She attended several schools up to the eighth grade. When she was 16 years old, she caught the eye of a young man at the movies, and he ended up following her home. It wasn’t long before she gave in to Edward Oliver Haddock, and on September 22, 1940, they were married by his dad Don Haddock, who was the judge at the time.

Their early married life was full of lots of travel while they moved from job to job in the grocery business. They moved to Blackfoot shortly after they were married where they welcomed their first child, Don Edward. It wasn’t long before they moved to Pocatello, where Gwen was born. Lynn Charles joined the family next in Provo. Four years later, while in Elko, Nevada, Sandra Fay was born. On the road again, Mark Raymond came along in Salt Lake City, Utah. They moved back home to Bear Lake, where they completed their family with Karen, being born in Soda Springs, Idaho.
