Anne Holland Cannon
LOGAN, UTAH: Anne Holland Cannon passed away
peacefully on 14 December 2005 at age 93. Anne was
born 19 November 1912 in Bancroft, Idaho to William
James Holland and Annie Sarah Thorne.
Anne moved to
Salt Lake City after high school where she met her
sweetheart and life companion, Melvin C. Cannon. They
were married in the Salt Lake Temple 26 August 1937.
Anne enjoyed providing service to friends, neighbors
and strangers - though they were not strangers for
long. She especially enjoyed the many friends she
made from Central and South America. Service was the
hallmark of her life.
She enjoyed cooking and canning throughout her life
and was still making chili sauce, apple sauce and jam
at age 91. Anne and Melvin traveled extensively
around the world, making friends and learning about
the culture and people wherever they have gone.
Anne was an active member of the LDS church and served
in many callings in the Sunday School and Primary, and
was the informal historian for the Logan 7th Ward for
46 years. Anne took great joy and pride providing a
flower arrangement for Sunday services for many years.
Anne and Melvin served an LDS mission in Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania in 1980-81. She was active in the Logan
PTA and also spent considerable time working with the
International Student organization at USU. Anne and
Melvin also spent many enjoyable years involved with
the Cache Geological and Archeological Society (Rock
Club) going on expeditions and putting on the annual
Gem and Mineral Show.
Anne is survived by her husband Melvin, their four
children: Bonnie Vaden, Ogden, Utah; Skip Cannon,
Lafayette, Colorado; Marcia (Roger) Leatham, Bonaire,
Netherlands Antilles; and Ken (Marty) Cannon, Logan,
Utah, ten grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
