Departed: 12/12/2022 (Price)

Obituary Preview: After an over 7 year battle with metastatic breast cancer, our courageous wife, daughter, mother, and friend Annie passed away at Utah Valley Hospital on December 12, 2022.

Ann Marie Roundy was born on April 13, 1979 to Roger and Marie (Jones) Nelson in Cedar City Utah. She graduated from high school in 1997. She stayed in the area and was working in customer service when she met her husband, Dale Roundy. They were married in the St. George Temple on June 15th, 2002.

Dale received a job offer, so they, along with their newborn daughter, Emily, moved to Green River in 2005. It was here that Annie blossomed. She was readily accepted by the community and spent many years in service. She helped with the town’s Melon Day’s, and with the newly established Pearl Baker park. She loved children, and helped at the Elementary by serving in their community counsel, and volunteering to read with groups of children. Annie loved the chance to meet new people when she served. She felt that no one was a stranger, just a friend she didn’t know yet. Which is why she loved working at the John Wesley Powell Museum for the last two years of her life. She enjoyed visiting with every customer that came in and her coworkers and made sure everyone felt seen and important. She had a kind, gentle, sweet soul that looked for the good in everyone.

Throughout her adult life Annie was active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Very rarely did she ever miss a day of church. She served faithful in the Primary, Young Womans and Relief Society organizations in various roles.

While she never did complete a college degree, Annie was well learned. She took several courses on a variety of topics and had several certificates. Before she was married she took a cake decorating course, and loved to create beautiful cakes. She even created her own wedding cake with help from her mother-in-law Glenda, and loved to create birthday and wedding cakes for various people around town and her family. After she was married she completed an intensive art instructional course, and throughout the rest of her life loved to create art of various kinds. Most recently she would spend hours creating oil paintings which she would gift, and are beloved by many. She also loved to garden, learning by experience for many years before taking several classes on it. She took many courses from USU Extension later in life and enjoyed meeting her classmates and instructors every week.

She is survived by her husband Dale Roundy, children Emily, Byron, Carter, and Farrah, all of Green River. Her parents Roger and Marie Nelson, Grandmother Ina Nelson, Sisters Janie (Ryan) Sabin, Krystal (Brad) Cole, Sammantha (Kevin) Lynch, and Janette (Daniel) Steele.

Her younger years were spent in Gusher, Utah on the family farm, riding horses, playing in the chicken coops, swimming at bottle hollow, and working at mom and dad's restaurant - the Chuck Wagon.

As an adult Tonya got many degrees, cosmetology, arts and was working on Tattooing when she got sick.

She had a bit of a temper and could cuss like a truck driver and would not hesitate to put you in your place. But she also wouldn't hesitate in standing up for you either if she felt you were in the right. But she had a Heart of Gold. She was a humble woman; she would offer money, feed and clothe people, before spending anything on herself, even when the shoes she wore hurt her feet and her pants were more than 10 years old. She loved unconditionally. She loved her children and grandchildren and told us often. She fell in love with people, and you knew it. Her door was always open with a couch and a blanket if you needed it.

Her Daughter's were her life and her Grandchildren were her everything, she lived for them.

She had a Special Bond with her Sisters that couldn't be broken.

Tonya met the love of her life Steven Larson October of 1996, who has been by her side unconditionally.

Tonya enjoyed tomatoes, short road trips, fishing, gardens, growing flowers, camping, swimming, cooking, crafts, music and diamond art. She loved her family, there was nothing she wouldn't do for them. She was a social Butterfly. Did I mention she Loved Tomatoes. Boy oh Boy did she love Tomatoes...LOL...

To the world you’re just a nana but to me you’re the world. Love, your Dani Mae. A Special Thank you to Bob Lee " The Blaster international WWI " for being Tonya's best friend bingo buddy, always looking out for her making sure she is alright, just being a True Friend to the End. We Love you Bob.

created a life that she loved and were married for 59 years. She supported Gordon in every way and in every project, even the heavy lifting ones. Jeanine was beautiful on the inside and out. She created beauty all around, from her home to her cabin, and the flower garden, bird garden, and vegetable gardens in between. She loved beauty and enjoyed being a hair dresser in her beauty shop, “Country Curl”. She gave away more haircuts than she charged for, and if there

had been an award for fastest perm roller she would have won! She also enjoyed being a dental assistant for many years and loved teaching gymnastics at CEU.

She found joy in the simple things. She had an uncanny ability to find happiness in her everyday activities and shared that with everyone around her. She loved holidays and birthdays and decorating for all of them.

Her pride and joy were her three girls; Wendy, Lee and Heidi. And then her heart burst wide open with the birth of each of the seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was very dedicated to each calling she received. Jeanine was a person of faith and lived life serving others. She loved reading, studying, and teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. She saw the best in others and it was important to her to speak kindly about other people. Always!

Why are obituaries important?

Obituaries serve as a way to inform friends, family, and community members of a person's passing, allowing them to pay their respects and offer condolences. They also provide a sense of closure and help to celebrate the life of the deceased.

Who writes an obituary?

Typically, a family member or close friend of the deceased writes the obituary. In some cases, a funeral home or mortuary may assist with writing the obituary or provide a template for the family to use.

What information should be included in an obituary?

A standard obituary typically includes the person's name, age, date of birth and death, place of residence, occupation, education, military service, hobbies, and surviving family members. It may also include information about funeral services, memorial donations, and any other relevant details.

How long should an obituary be?

The length of an obituary can vary depending on the publication and the family's wishes. Typically, it ranges from a few sentences to several paragraphs.

Can I include photos in an obituary?

Yes, many publications allow you to include one or more photos with the obituary. This can be a nice way to personalize the notice and provide a visual representation of the person being remembered.

How do I submit an obituary to a newspaper or online publication?

Contact the publication directly to find out their specific submission guidelines and deadlines. Some publications may have online forms or email addresses for submitting obituaries, while others may require a phone call or in-person visit.

What is the difference between an obituary and a death notice?

How do I handle sensitive or private information in an obituary?

If there are sensitive or private details about the person's life that you'd rather not share publicly, it's best to omit them or phrase them discreetly. Remember that an obituary is meant to be a celebration of their life, not an exposé.

How long after the person's passing should I publish the obituary?

The timing varies depending on cultural and personal preferences. Typically, an obituary is published within a few days to a week after the person's passing.

Can I publish an obituary online only?

Yes! Many online platforms and social media sites allow you to publish an obituary digitally. This can be especially useful for people who live far away or prefer online communication.

What if I need to make corrections to an already-published obituary?

Contact the publication directly as soon as possible to request corrections. They will work with you to make changes and republish the revised obituary.

Can I reuse an existing obituary template or example?

You can use templates or examples as inspiration, but it's best to customize the content to fit your loved one's unique life and personality.
