PRICE-Our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, friend, and teacher was taken from us too soon in an unfortunate car accident on Aug. 4, 2008.
She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
Ann was born on Oct. 14, 1950 in Taos, N.M. to Cleotilde Vigil and Amadeo Romero.
She graduated from Hillcrest High School in 1968 and later earned her Associates of Science degree from the College of Eastern Utah. On Sept. 6, 1970, she married Ronald G. Ross in Elko, Nev., their marriage was later solemnized in the Manti LDS Temple on Dec. 7, 1994.
Ron and Ann moved to Price in 1974 and raised their family of four sons. While residing in Price she was employed for 25 years in the coal mining industry.
Her family was the absolute love of her life, especially her 14 grandchildren who affectionately called her “Grannie Annie”. Ann was a caring person who had a positive influence on the lives of those she touched. She never suppressed a generous thought or deed; she was a peacemaker and a woman of unique strength and character.
Should each of us be able to tear out a page from Grannie Annie’s Book of Life and incorporate the wisdom contained therein, we would all be a better and more loving people.
Ann you are so dear, so sweet, so beautiful, so precious to us. You are truly an elect lady and we are going to miss you more than words can express. May God be abundant in his blessings upon you.
Ann is survived by her loving husband, Ron Ross, Price; four sons and one step-daughter: Don (Lara) Ross, Grand Junction, Colo., Ron (Julianne) Ross, Sandy, Utah, Scott Ross, Denver, Colo., Beau (Sarah) Ross, Coralville, Iowa, Kari (Reed) Smith, Springville, Utah, grandchildren: Noah, Sophia, Avabelle, Lola, Eliza, Isaac, Tucker, Tilly, Ezra, Trevyn, Daryk, Danyelle, Mytchell, Mckenzy, great-granddaughter, Ryan Rae, and one more on the way.
