Anna Lou Scholes, a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother passed quietly and was reunited with her husband of 65 years Frederick Lee Scholes on May 18, 2025, at the age of 90. Born in Farmington, Utah on December 10, 1934, to David Willard Hess and Elvira Nielsen Hess, Anna was a cherished member of the community and will be deeply missed.
Anna was known for her warmth, generosity, and strength. She was a loving mother to two children: Thomas Frederick Scholes and Cheryl Lynn Nelson. She also leaves behind six cherished grandchildren, and ten great grandchildren.
Anna was an avid reader, loved working in her yard, enjoyed board and book puzzles, and was a fantastic cook. She served an LDS senior mission at the Oakland California Temple and spent countless hours as a Temple volunteer.
Anna was preceded in death by her loving husband Frederick Lee Scholes, her parents David Willard and Elvira Nielsen Hess, and her six siblings.
Anna's memory will be forever cherished by those who knew her.
A small graveside memorial service will be held at the Parowan, Utah Cemetery with interment to follow under the direction of Southern Utah Mortuary.
