Tudy Barentsen Standlee

Tudy Standlee has put in hundreds of hours organizing and displaying the thousands of photos at the Mt. Pleasant Relic Home. She has a natural talent for recognizing and identifying photos, as well as organizing them in a sensible, understandable way, where patrons can find their ancestors, within minutes of arriving. She has also put together a manual for all hosts and hostesses, that makes everyone aware of where things are stored and exhibited. The many histories the Relic Home has to offer have also been organized by Tudy.



Tudy is a native of Mt. Pleasant. She grew up here and graduated from Wasatch Academy. She is married to Wayne Standlee and they now live in Tudy's family home on Main Street. The home has been in her family for 6 generations. Her parents are the late Hugh and Ruth Barentsen. She loves history and is an avid genealogist. She also loves helping other families with their histories. Wayne has also helped with the picture project as well. He is a retired building contractor and native of Idaho.



We encourage everyone researching lines that originate or have lived here in Mt. Pleasant to come visit our Relic Home and see what we have to offer.
