Our beloved angel, Ann Marie Michaelis Rapich, 67, of Tooele, Utah, passed away unexpectedly at her home on Saturday, Jan. 13, 2018.
Ann was born July 11, 1950, in Logan, Utah, to Harry Eugene “Gene” and Helen Nielsen Michaelis. The third of eight brothers and sisters, she grew up in Davis County and graduated from Bountiful High School. She attended cosmetology school before meeting her eternal sweetheart, G. Steven Rapich. On March 21, 1969, she and Steven were sealed for time and eternity in the Salt Lake Temple.
Ann and Steven raised three children, and were blessed with seven grandchildren. Ann dedicated her life to her family, was loved by all who knew her, and always looked for the opportunity to help someone in need. She owned a beauty salon, worked as a medical office manager, and most recently served as a Temple worker in the Salt Lake Temple. Of all her many accomplishments, Ann will always be remembered as the world’s greatest Grandma.
Ann was preceded in death by her mother, Helen, and niece, Mistee. She is survived by her husband, Steven; children, Michael, Jason and Paige; grandchildren, Jeremy, Wyatt, Brayden, Hannah, Justus, Mason and Alisha; father, Gene; and siblings, Terry, Kim, Clifford, Kevin, Kip, Todd and Deidre.
