Ann Stevens, 87, of North Logan, Utah, peacefully passed away on December 27, 2024, and was reunited with her loving husband. Born Isabell Ann Shaw on July 18, 1937, in Ogden, Utah, Ann grew up in Porterville, Utah, where she developed the values of faith, kindness, and humility that defined her life.
Ann first met the love of her life, Robert (Bob) Leland Stevens, in 1949 when they were both in the band at Morgan High School. Ann, a clarinetist, caught Bob’s attention by mischievously kicking the back of his chair. From that moment, a beautiful love story began.
After Bob returned from his military service in Germany, he and Ann were married for time and all eternity in the Logan, Utah, Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on July 14, 1955. When she took the last name Stevens, Ann added an “e” to her first name, becoming Isabelle Ann Stevens. Their life together was one of devotion, faith, and love. They raised three children: Isabelle Kim Welsch (Keith), Thomas Glen Stevens (Penilee), and Amy Rachelle Summers (John). Together, they built a legacy of 19 grandchildren and 26 (soon to be 28) great-grandchildren.
Together, Bob and Ann created a life filled with service and adventure, living in Washington State, where Bob worked at Boeing, and later in their dream home overlooking Bear Lake in Garden City, Utah, before settling in North Logan. They served a two-year mission in Bremerton, Washington, and were active in their community and church, touching countless lives with their kindness and generosity.
Ann was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and lived her life devoted to Jesus Christ and serving others. She was the type of person who had no idea how many lives she touched. Tender, sweet, and unassuming, Ann’s unwavering faith, quiet strength, and Christlike love served as an example to everyone she met. She was a devoted wife, a nurturing mother and grandmother, and a steadfast friend.
Ann was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Bob; her parents, Zylpha Spencer Shaw and William Victor Shaw; her sisters, Dorothy Elizabeth Shaw Giles and Baby Shaw; her daughter, Isabelle Kim Welsch; her great-grandson, Kaleb Ashley; and several other cherished loved ones.
In keeping with Ann’s wishes to remain as unassuming in death as she was in life, no formal viewing or funeral services will be held. Instead, there will be a graveside service on Saturday, January 4, 2025, at 1:00 PM at the South Morgan Cemetery, 335 S. State St., Morgan, UT 84050.
In lieu of flowers, simply be kind to and serve one another.
The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated caregivers at The Gables North Logan Memory Care for their kindness, compassion, love, and attentive care for Ann during her time there.
Though her presence will be deeply missed, Ann’s example of love, compassion, and faith will continue to inspire those fortunate enough to have known her. Now reunited with her high school sweetheart and eternal companion, Bob, Ann’s legacy of faith, service, and devotion lives on.
Mom, we love you.
