Anella Rogers Baldwin Obituary (1933 - 2014)

Anella Rogers Baldwin Mom departed this earthly realm early on Sunday morning the 27th of April 2014. She passed on peacefully and in her own home as was her sincerest wish for how she might leave. Mom enjoyed her last week here as many of her descendants visited with her and each confirmed their love for her and reminisced over many fond memories. Anella was born on 9 January 1933 to Daniel Kimball Rogers and Viola Ann Petersen in Snowflake, AZ. Her family lived in several southwestern communities before moving to Provo, UT. It was here that Anella met the love of her life - Rey Duane Baldwin. They were wed on 26 March 1953 in the St. George, UT LDS temple. Anella endured being an Air Force wife while raising five boys: Ronald Rey, Lynn Earl, Russell James, Wayne Alan, and Steven Jay. The Air Force afforded the Baldwin family many enjoyable experiences and opportunities. Anella and Rey finally retired to the Utah community of Fruit Heights, where Anella served faithfully in many church callings and enjoyed participating in activities with the DUP (Daughters of the Utah Pioneers). Rey preceded Anella in death on 18 May 2007. She missed him desperately and due to failing health finally joins him again in paradise. She was also preceded in death by her parents, one son - Russell, one brother - Dan Terrance Rogers, and by sisters-in-law - Donna Rogers and Myrlene Rogers and brothers-in-law - Roger and David Baldwin. She is survived by sons - Ron, Lynn (Christy), Wayne (Lisa), and Steve (Heather); also by her sister Wanda Tabeling, and brother Marcel Rogers. She also enjoyed her 12 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren, and even one great-great-grandchild.
