She was the seventh of 10 siblings. She grew up on a ranch and decided at a young age this was not what she wanted to do. She moved to Ogden, Utah, and studied at Steven Henager College, earning a business degree. She met Charles Russell Larsen at a dance and they eventually married. She worked at Dugway Proving Grounds in the personnel office. Then transferred to Tooele Army Depot as a safety secretary. She retired after more than 20 years of service, during which she had two children, Kim (Larsen) Jenkins and Jason Larsen (married to Gaylynn Larsen). Her husband Charles Russell Larsen, her two children, seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren survive her.
Ann loved to travel. She explored various places. Her favorites include Denmark, Italy and several places in South America. March Madness was a favorite time of year. Ann was an avid basketball fan and loved to predict the outcome of March Madness. She was able to predict many correct championships.
Ann found ways to serve others all her life. She served as a primary teacher for many years as well as a volunteer with the Relief Society in the kitchen for many events. Her loving and caring spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
