Ann Knight Todd

Ann was born in Plain City, Utah and grew up in Plain City and Hooper. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Education from Utah State University where she met and married Therald Francis Todd. They divorced in 1965.

Ann was known for her dedication and love for teaching, having worked as a teacher for nearly 40 years. She taught a variety of subjects, most notably math, English and speech, primarily for sixth grade. Ann was beloved by her students and able to calm her classroom with the mere raising of an eyebrow. She was fiercely independent, preferring to learn how to do things herself, rather than get someone to help her. Ann was cheerful and upbeat, with a wicked sense of humor and was dedicated to both old and new friends.

After retiring from Ogden City Schools in 1997, Ann moved to Louisville, Colorado where she worked part time when she first arrived. Later, when asked if she would come back to work, she said she was much too busy to have time for work. Ann was very active in her retirement, engaging in activities such as the Louisville Senior Center's choir.

Ann is survived by her son, Allen Todd (Irene); daughter, Jennie Fitzgerald (James); daughter, Bobbie Todd; grandson, Andrew Todd; grandson, Elan Poteet (Michelle); great granddaughter, Violet Mae; great grandson, Bastion; sister Sharon (Guy) Larking and sister Norma Hansen. Ann was preceded in death by her parents, George Earl and Fanny Ruth Knight and her granddaughter, Morgan Todd. In honor of Ann, a donation can be made to the American Macular Degeneration Foundation in lieu of a traditional funeral or memorial service.
