July 6, 1953 – September 1, 2024
Anna Marie Scow passed away on September 1, 2024 in Moab, Utah.
Our happy, full of spirit, thoughtful, joyful, serving, number-one grandma, a kid at heart, caring mother and devoted wife, passed away on September 1, 2024.
Anna Marie Scow was born to Neva Fiske in Waverly, New York on July 6, 1953, and was the oldest of seven children. She grew up in Sayre, Pennsylvania, where she was baptized in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at the age of 14.
She went to Ricks College for a short time (now BYU Idaho), then worked in the finance department of the LDS offices in Salt Lake City.
In 1975, Anna Marie met and married her sweetheart of 48 years, Alfred Glen Scow, for all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple. They have seven children: Mandy (Dave) Leech; Holly (Andy) Peralta; Braden (Amy) Scow; Adam (Tori) Scow; Heather (Marc) Gee; Jacob (Nikki) Scow; and Jared (Christy) Scow.
She is survived by her husband, Alfred Glen Scow; her mother, Neva Mae Fiske; brother, Benjamin Fiske; two sisters, Nancy Cook and Bonnie (Roger) Flandro; and 33 grandchildren as well as many nieces and nephews, brothers- and sister-in-laws and many friends who she counted as family.
Anna Marie held many church callings throughout the years, but most often was in a teaching position. She loved teaching no matter where she was. Teaching at home to her children, teaching in church as a Gospel Doctrine teacher three times, and teaching In Moab where she became a highly sought-out substitute teacher. It was a passion of hers and those around her loved it and knew it.
Anna Marie and Al had a carpet cleaning business in Moab for 28 years. They felt their customers were and truly are their friends. Keeping it just them felt like they could keep a more protective eye on their customers, and know the job was well done.
She cherished every second she was able to spend with her family, and when her grandchildren came to the house, her face lit up and she became the happiest person around. She kept a smile no matter how difficult things were while continuing to be thankful to Heavenly Father for her continued blessings and never missing a day to wish and pray for the happiness, health and safety of her family and those around her. Nothing was more important to her than her family, her Al and her Savior.
Anna Marie was preceded in death by her three brothers, Jeffrey Fiske, Richard Fiske and Daniel Fiske; grandparents, Eleanor and Chester Lampman; and mother- and father in-law, Nelma and Mansel Scow.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday, September 7, 2024, at 11 a.m. at Moab LDS Stake Center (701 Locust Lane, Moab). A viewing will be held on Friday, September 6 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Spanish Valley Mortuary (386 N. 100 West, Moab) and for one hour prior to the service at the church.
