Ann LaRay Brown Michelsen

September 10, 1937 – July 21, 2022

A Life’s Tribute
By Her Husband

Ann, this is like an Ann’s Note, which so many here have received, because you felt them important and you cared.

Ann LaRay Brown Michelsen was born on September 10, 1937 in Hoytsville, Utah and at the age of 84 on July 21, 2022 she passed away in Spanish Fork, Utah. Ann LaRay Brown Michelsen, daughter of Lyle and Thelma, sister of Carol (Lyle), Charles (Judy), Harold (Penny), and Georgia (David); wife of Stanley, mom of Jeffrey (JoAnn), Shelly (Troy), Craig (Sherry), Bruce (Shauna), Heidi (Kay C), Nathan (Melissa), and your special Doris (Severin); grandma of 30, and great grandma of 40. You have proved yourself in mortality–and now get to go home. You sure have left a mark here: You and the 8 of your family graduated from BYU; you influenced the “becoming” teachers, and you were successful at Spanish Fork High and Provo High where you were named Teacher of the Year. In church, you served as Relief Society President twice, Young Women President in the ward and stake. The stake president didn’t even release you when you were called to serve a mission as Area Public Affairs Co-Director in the Caribbean. Then family history became super important with research and temple work. You continued with missionary zeal, serving as a worker in the Provo and Payson temples for 13 years.Then a short bout with aggressive cancer had us hearing you say “It’s been a wonderful journey in the Lord’s hands!” And from your tribute to your mother at her passing: “Dear Mother, so fragile and frail, patiently you sit in a raised position silently waiting for your entrance through the veil. Through the silken fabric of your apparel we watch your run-away heart each beat taking you further from us and closer to those who also wait.” Heaven has endured your absence 84+ years, many who are excited to see you again, and more for the first time. You will probably be assigned to be a Guardian Angel–your notes won’t cease. So, know you are important to us, we love you. You will be missed. A memorial stone will be in Hoytsville, where it all began.
