Carma B. Sirrine was born March 2, 1934, in Price, Utah. Loving parents raised Carma in Wellington, where her father was a teacher and principal of the school there. She has enjoyed writing since the eighth grade when she wrote a play and several short stories for her English class. In college at Carbon Junior College in Price, she wrote for the school magazine and newspaper, and was associate editor of the yearbook during her sophomore year. She graduated with an associate of science degree and then moved to Salt Lake City to find a secretary position. There she met her husband.  After her marriage, Carma was a stay-at-home mom for twenty-three years. Over the years she has held many church positions, including president of the MIA (or Young Women as it is called now), a counselor in Relief Society and Primary presidencies, a member of the service and activities committee of the MIA, a Blazer B leader for her ward and stake for several years, and a family history consultant for many more years.  In 1999 she and her husband served a senior mission in Manila, Philippines, for nineteen months to help the members with their livelihood. They had many wonderful and enjoyable experiences there that they will never forget. While in the Philippines, Carma wrote an article for the Liahona regarding a special humanitarian project and one regarding a fair held at a large park where the locals sold their wares. These are in the February and November 2000 issues respectively.
