Anna Kidd, 91, passed away October 13, 2009 in Logan, Utah. She was born Anna Caroline Amonette in Byrdstown, Pickett County, Tennessee to Landon and Minnie Lee Foster Amonette on November 12, 1917. Raised in a close-knit farm family, she attended local schools (excepting a first-grade year spent in Ferron, Utah where her father was briefly employed herding sheep) and graduated class salutatorian from Pickett County High School in 1938.

She briefly attended nursing school in Nashville, Tennessee, and, following other family members north, was employed during World War II at the Perfect Circle factory in Richmond, Indiana manufacturing engine piston rings. She served an LDS mission in Michigan and Illinois in 1946 and 1947. Later, through mutual friends she met future husband Maurice Edward Kidd at a dance in Richmond, Indiana; they were married in the Salt Lake Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah, September 25, 1947. After living briefly in Indiana and Kansas City, Missouri while Maurice attended automotive body repair school, they relocated in 1948 to Vernal, Utah, her husband's childhood home. She was variously for the rest of her life a homemaker, mother, dog breeder, farmer and rancher and all-around manager. She lived what might be considered an ordinary life but in extraordinary and exceptional ways.

She was preceded in death by her parents, husband and eleven siblings. She is survived by sons Creed (Melody) Kidd; Tom (Crystal) Kidd; daughters Raelynn (Gary) Hancey and Mary Kidd; one surviving sister, Marion (Keith) Jensen; thirteen grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Bishop Doug Watkins conducted funeral services October 16, 2009 at the Church of Latter-day Saints Davis Fourth Ward Chapel in Vernal, Utah. Burial was in the Vernal Memorial Park under the direction of the Blackburn Thompson Mortuary.
