Biography

Daryl Hoole is an author and lecturer on home management and family living. She has written six published books and has lectured on this topic extensively throughout the United States and Canada. Daryl's lecturing included speaking at Education Week,[1] a conference held at Brigham Young University, for close to 40 years.

Earlier in her life, she served as a Latter-day Saint missionary in the Netherlands, where her father presided as mission president. Years later, she served with her husband Hendricus (Hank) when he was called as mission president of that same mission. Recently, she served a third mission when she and her husband were called as welfare-humanitarian administrators for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Asia. Based in Hong Kong, Daryl and her husband traveled, taught and provided service throughout much of Asia for two years. Other significant service contributions for Daryl include her service on the Church's General Board of its Primary organization.

Daryl and Hank are the parents of eight living children and have thirty-six grandchildren and an ever-growing number of great-grandchildren. She currently resides in Salt Lake City, Utah. Though now mostly retired, Daryl is still in demand as a speaker for women’s groups and is a regular contributor to the Latter-day Saint-oriented website Meridian Magazine.
