Victoria Ann Adam was born and raised in the Salt Lake Valley and attended local schools. She served a full-time mission for the Church Massachusetts Boston Mission. After returning, she married her sweetheart who was chronically ill. She and Victoria travelled this life together for 25 years before her passing. Victoria has since been in a relationship for over 10 years. She was in her late 50’s before she had an opportunity to address her gender dysphoria. She is not involved in the LGBTQ+ movement and in so doing, does not identify with the terminology of that movement. She has continued to be active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints all of her life even though her “dysphoria” has caused her to navigate her religious experience in a different way.
