In fact, I don’t know if resty has either.

Actually, IIRC she has mentioned attending the temple on here.
And considering her age, status and how long she has been a member, it would be very odd indeed if she hasn’t been.
I know all kinds of life-long LDS members who have never attended the Temple. Many of them life right here is the heart of Utah, where travel isn’t and issue.
It becomes more of an issue the farther from Utah you go. I know resty lived in New York and Michigan. There are temples nearby in NY.
Which Temples have you attended resty?
It doesn't surprise me at all, and is probably quite accurate as far as my acquaintances go.
Wow, while I was looking up the percentage of Temple attenders, I found this little gem. Oh boy, I’m glad I’m out.
Temple Attendance
Let us be a temple-attending people. Attend the temple as frequently as personal circumstances allow. Keep a picture of a temple in your home that your children may see it. Teach them about the purpose of the house of the Lord. Have them plan from their earliest years to go there and to remain worthy of that blessing. — Howard W. Hunter

“Current Temple Recommend”
Passport to Exaltation
“I make you a promise that if you will go to the House of the Lord, you will be blessed, life will be better for you... partake of all of the marvelous blessings that are yours to be received there. Now is the time to get your lives in order that you may be worthy to go to the House of the Lord. Get a temple recommend. Get it now. If every man and woman... would make that resolution and go to work to be worthy of a temple recommend, your lives would be blessed, your homes would be blessed, you would feel the spirit of the Lord in your homes.”
- President Gordon B. Hinckley -
