Anna Marie Russo Apgood

January 12, 1926 ~ October 10, 2019

Ann passed away peacefully October 10, 2019 at the age of 93. She was born January 12, 1926, in Salt Lake City, to Alphonso Russo and Virginia Mary Martignoni Russo. She graduated from South High School and attended Stevens-Henager Business School. She married Robert Julian Apgood on September 21, 1951, in Salt Lake City. Together they had four children: Robert Craig (Becky), Randall Scott (Carol), Kris Ann Pacheco and Randolyn (died shortly after birth). They lived and raised their family in the Millcreek area.

Mom and Dad always supported their children in their many interests, from music to ice-skating to sports. Family was Mom’s first priority. Her homemade meals and desserts are unforgettable. There were backyard BBQs, picnics and fishing trips. Ann made many lifelong friends in her Millcreek neighborhood. The past three years she resided at The Wentworth Assisted Living Center, where she made many new friends.

She is survived by her son Scott and daughter Kris; grandchildren Thomas Robert (Kierstin), Amanda Catherine and Taylor James Apgood, Christopher, Nicholas, Danyell Pacheco and great-granddaughter Adilyn Pacheco. Also survived by her sister Gloria (Bill) O’Reilly, and many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Robert; sister Dolores; brothers James, Ernest, Victor, Norman, John and Benito; and son Robert Craig.

A graveside service was held on October 18 at Mount Calvary Catholic Cemetery. Please share your memories and photos with the family at www.starksfuneral.com.
