Biography
Romney was born in Colonia Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico, to parents who had come from the United States. Grandparents on both sides had left the U.S. to avoid prosecution under laws prohibiting the Mormon practice of plural marriage.
In 1917 the Romney's moved to Rexburg, Idaho where father George S. Romney took the position of principal of Ricks Academy.
Lurlene Romney Cheney, was baptized in the Roman Catholic church and later became Sister Mary Catherine of the Carmelite order, a cloistered nun, at the Carmel of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Holladay, Utah.
