Anne Olivia Corrigan Peterson 1942 ~ 2008 Anne Olivia Corrigan Peterson born May 18, 1942 returned home peacefully to her Father in Heaven surrounded by her family on March 24, 2008 due to colon cancer.She was a woman of strength and courage who taught life lessons through her example. Her youthful, vibrant energy was expressed in her love for her family and friends. She is survived by her husband of 47 years James (Jim) Clifford Peterson and six children: Heather, Jeff, Eric, Kimberly, Tiffany and Gregory (Adrie) Peterson, 10 grandkids and one cute great-grandson.

Jim dragged Anne crying her eyes out all the way to San Bernardino and she has happily followed him since then wherever his teaching career and later numerous other jobs took him until he was brought to Salt Lake City to open the L'Eggs Pantyhose market. Later he bought the Servisoft watersoftner franchise and they have made their home here for the past 37 years. Anne worked for the Mental Retardation Association for 20 years routing their trucks for donation pick ups. She worked at Highland High School for 17 years in Resource, the Attendance Office and then recently retired as the Treasurer. She is preceded in death by her parents, Wayne and Mary Corrigan and a daughter-in-law, Jill Cheney Peterson.

Dear Jim and children,
Words cannot express my great sense of loss for such a dear friend. The tears flow every time I think of her. We shared nearly 50 years of memories, good times and bad times. She was always there for me. I knew she was & always will be my very dear friend. I miss her so much.
Love, Julie

Dear Uncle Jim and all my cousins,

I was so sorry that I couldn't attend Aunt Anne's funeral. I was hoping she could hang on till I got back from helping with my new grandbaby because I wanted to pay tribute to her and of course see all of you (some of which I haven't seen in probably over 20 years!) But I am happy for Anne because her suffering is past and she truly fought a good fight. She set such an example of courage and grace for all of us. I wish I could have peeked in on the glorious reunion she must have had with her mother and dad and other loved ones! Until we meet again dear Anne, I will miss you!

Love, Julie (Corrigan) Woodfield

Dear Peterson Family,
At this tender time, I want to let you know of my love and admiration for Anne. She has always been such a true friend to my Mom and such a happy influence in her life! When hard times came to our family, Anne was there to lighten the load! Whenever I think of her, I think of energy and goodness. Her life was filled with selfless service. She had a smile for everyone she met and whenever I would happen to meet up with her, I always came away laughing and happy. I have always considered your family the "FUN" family. Growing up I remember hearing about your trips and times together and thinking what a great bond you all have. You are such exceptional people and I am so grateful that I have had the chance to rub shoulders with Anne and with all of you. Continue on in the legacy of your inspiring Mom!
Jeff--it was great to see you again after all this time. I think you are right about our friendship and I hope we get a chance to catch up and get to know each other again. You have such a strong and good spirit about you. May the Lord bless you and your family with peace and comfort!
Much Love...
Holly Hill Peterson

Dear Tiffany,
I am so saddened by the news of your mom's passing. I have many good memories with your family in those years shortly after Paraguay, it's hard to believe how much has changed now. Your mom was always so full of joy and friendliness toward all, she led a vibrant and full life that brought happiness to everyone she came into contact with. Her memory will live on through you and your family, as each of you share that same love she had with others.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Love,

I am glad that your mom was able to take the cruise with all of you before she went HOME to her parents and other loved ones that went before. I was listening to a beautiful song on the internet when I opened my e-mail and saw that Anne had passed on. You must find it and listen to it. It is so appropriate for just such an occasion. The group's name is Celtic Woman and Lisa is the one who is singing the song. Title of the song is "Send me a Song". You'll love it.
If you can't find it online, go to my blog spot at PeteandBeverly.blogspot.com
The song will begin to play automatically.
Love,
Beverly

Thank you for all that you have done for me in my life and everything you stood for. I'm so grateful for the time we got to spend together, our middle of the night talks and our Hokey Pokey dances...
I miss you already!

Dear Peterson Family,
My Mom had informed me of Ann's passing and I was quite sad and thoughtful. Your Mom was a huge part of my growing up years. As our houses were close together we as kids were often at the Peterson house. I don't remember any particular memory, but I do remember it being a fun house to play at. Ann was probably a big part of that. I also remember Ann being a large part of my teenager years as well. She was in the Young Womens presidency and of course at every event, fun and serious. I remember her as being fun loving, very humorous and extremely caring as well. I've been gone from the ward from a long time, but she would be one of the first in my thoughts, because of the wonderful memories and the importance of her to me in my life. I'm so sorry I cannot attend the funeral, because of a family conflict.
Much Love and many prayers, Annette Speckart Eastham
