Ann Heath Stenquist was born on September 4, 1933, to Dean V. Heath and Edna Dudman Heath in North Ogden, Utah. She has a sister, Barbara.
Ann was baptized as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on December 7, 1941. Mom could always remember her baptism date because when they returned from their baptism, they found out about the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
Ann attended McKinley School in Salt Lake City. After she finished fourth grade, Ann, Barbara, and their mother moved to North Ogden. She attended North Ogden Jr. High and Weber County High School.
After high school, Ann attended Weber Junior College, where she and Norris Stenquist met and fell in love. A year later they were married in Logan Temple. They have four children, Dale, Ross, Lynn and Suzann. They have 15 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren.
Anna had many talents. She loved to draw and was pretty good at it, but decided that playing the violin was more important to her. She won top marks at many music festivals and was the first chairwoman of the orchestras she played with. Ann played with the Shorty Ross Dance Band for a number of years. Ann loved sewing and gardening and quilting.
Ann served many Latter-day Saint callings in the Church of Jesus Christ, including a mission in Florida and one in the Korea Temple. She and Norris also served in the Logan Temple.
Ann worked as a secretary when her children grew up and left home. She worked at Utah State University in the Economics Department and the Animal Science Department. One of her last jobs was as a secretary at Zion’s Bank.
