Ann Henderson Duehlmeier Sessions, 90, passed away Oct. 27, 2008, of causes incident to age, in Sterling, returning to the loving arms of her Father in Heaven. Funeral services were held Monday, Nov. 3, in Taylorsville, Utah.

Ann was born Sept. 3, 1918, in Ogden, Utah, to Mary Pryde and Fredrick Henderson. She grew up in Salt Lake City and graduated from South High School in 1935.

Ann was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and served in many callings over the years, including Relief Society President for more than 12 years.

She was first and foremost a homemaker and mother. She was an extraordinary example to her children, always a smile on her face and a wonderfully positive attitude. She had an amazing sense of humor that she retained until the end.

She was an excellent seamstress and knitter and spent many hours crafting clothing, costumes and sweaters for her children. She was involved in book clubs, knitting clubs and choral groups (The Singing Mothers) most of her life. She had a wide circle of friends whom she cherished.

In her later years she was lovingly cared for by her husband Glenn, for which we are grateful. She was dear to us, she will be greatly missed.
