October 10, 1939 – November 7, 2024The world just lost one of its bright lights, and we lost our North Star.Anne Armstrong Prince passed away peacefully of natural causes in her apartment at Legacy Village on Thursday, November 7th. Her granddaughter Kendra was by her side.Anne was born on October 10, 1939, to Heloise Snow and William Melbourne Armstrong. Anne was preceded in death by her parents and brothers Herb (Herbert Snow Armstrong) and Mel (William Melbourne Armstrong Jr.).She grew up in Salt Lake City on Eleventh Avenue, enriched with a healthy dose of adventures on the family ranch (Snow Summit Ranch in Thaynes Canyon) in Park City, at the Salt Lake fairgrounds, where she and her brothers would help their grandfather show his prize cows, and on camping trips in Holiday Park.Anne was a talented interior designer, passionate school board leader and champion for the development of cultural facilities and resources to enhance the community.Above all though, she was a mom. If she saw someone with a baby, she would play “peek-a-boo” and ask to hold the child. She was in her happy place whenever a baby was in her arms. She cherished her family and went to great lengths to create moments for her family to be together and create lasting memories.Anne welcomed everyone into her life with a warm smile. She was the epitome of that person with whom you recall having a conversation, not for any specific thing that was said, but because of the unforgettable way she made you feel.At Park Lane Senior Living, the staff would seek out Mom to sit with potential new tenants at lunch, knowing they would soon have another person eager to live there.Her legacy includes, mostly in order of importance: her 4 children, Patricia, Seaton, Kimberly and Kenneth, and her 12 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild.Her accomplishments strengthening the Park City school system, helping found the Kimball Arts Center, creating and decorating the Stein Eriksen Lodge and other hotels, and building her community in Park City through her civic service have bettered the lives of countless individuals.In her memory we would like everyone to get a glass of wine, preferably from the wine box in the fridge, and toast your friend, our mother and grandmother, to a life well lived.Mom, you were a very special person to all who knew you. Thank you for the never-ending love, your guidance, and the amazing memories you gave us.For more on Anne Armstrong Prince see the article in the Park Record: https://www.parkrecord.com/2024/11/13/annearmstrong-prince-had-early-hand-in-developing-modern-Park-City-community/.Anne donated her body to the University of Utah School of Medicine.
