Ann Mildred Eddy Jenson, 86, passed away peacefully in her sleep on October 18, 2024, at Maple Springs Living Community in Brigham City, Utah.

Ann was born on August 5, 1938, in Ogden, Utah, the only daughter of Chris and Mildred Eddy. She joined her six beloved brothers, whom she cherished throughout her life.

She grew up in Ogden, attending local schools. As a young girl, she took elocution lessons, which sparked her love for performing in school plays and other events. This early experience led to a lifelong passion for reciting poetry. Ann often entertained family and friends with her charming poems and
childhood songs.

Ann also discovered a deep love for dancing in her youth, as it was a popular pastime during that era. She continued to enjoy dancing throughout her life, even into her senior years at Maple Springs, where she could often be found dancing.

On July 7, 1958, Ann married Joe Jenson. They were later sealed for eternity as a family in the Logan LDS Temple on June 15, 1970.

Ann and Joe moved to Arbon Valley, Idaho, to begin their life farming and raising their family of seven children. Ann loved being a homemaker, dedicating herself to caring for her family. She was skilled at cooking, canning, sewing, embroidering, quilting, and even helped Joe run the combine during harvest one year.

Ann was devoted to her family, deeply loving her children and grandchildren. She read bedtime stories to each of her children, passing on a love for reading that endures to this day. Christmas was always special in Ann’s home, and she created lasting memories for her family during
the holidays.

A faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Ann loved the gospel, and her scriptures. She was passionate about doing family history work and spent years diligently seeking out her ancestors. She served faithfully in many callings and, together with Joe, served as an Ordinance Worker in the Logan Temple for 11 years. They also completed missions in the Washington, D.C., and Nauvoo Temples. Ann was a devoted disciple of Jesus Christ.

Her positive, happy, and loving demeanor, along with her genuine concern for others, made her a friend to all. She will be fondly remembered as “Grandma Annie” by those who knew her.

Ann leaves behind a legacy of love. She was cherished and adored by all who knew her. She will be
deeply missed.

Ann is survived by her children: Lorie (Dean) Blaisdell of Malad, Idaho; David (Sheri) Jenson of Centerville, Utah; Christine Sutherland of Montclair, California; Joseph (Julie) Jenson of Herriman, Utah; Victoria (Shawn) Furniss of Fort Worth, Texas; and Jennifer (Bryan) Horsley of Alpine, Utah. She is also survived by 26 grandchildren, 38 great-grandchildren, and her brother, Mark Eddy of St. George, Utah.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Joe Jenson; her daughter, Jannajoe McKee; her parents; her brothers, Jack, Elwood, Max, Gary, and Little Chris Eddy; and two grandchildren: Bryant Jenson, and Benjamin Sutherland; and great-granddaughter Kennedy Jibson.

Funeral services will be held on October 25, 2024, at 11 a.m. at the Malad Stake Center 1250 N 1100 W. A viewing will be held from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. prior to the service. Interment will follow at Logan
