Ann Start
April 29, 1930 – May 18, 2011
Ann passed away unexpectedly at home on May 18, 2011.
She was born on April 29, 1930 to Anna and James Kennedy in Detroit, MI. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Marygrove College in 1952. Ann married John E. “Jack” Start on September 8, 1953. Although they later divorced, eight wonderful children came from that marriage. She was a dedicated mother and also held various positions including school teacher in the Detroit Public School System, working for the Census Bureau and market research for Gay Hill Field Service. In her younger years, she was a dancer who enjoyed many styles of dance. Ann was a Scrabble queen and loved the challenge of any kind of word puzzle. She enjoyed a very active retired life: She loved helping her grandchildren with their English and grammar homework, she joined a swim group which met twice a week, and was a member of Bunco, Scrabble and Pinochle groups. She had a large circle of very close and loyal friends whom she treasured. Because of her love and guidance, her children were raised to be independent, strong and successful.
She is survived by her children John (Beth), Mary Ann (Tom), Danny (Regina), Annie (Kenny), Phil (Marjorie), Paul (Kelly), and Jim (Tristin); 17 grandchildren; and one great grandchild; brother Jim Kennedy; and her very dear brother-in-law Eugene (Barbara) Start.
She is preceded in death by her parents, siblings, and most recently, her daughter, Jeanne Harris.
Friends may call upon the family at a wake on Saturday, May 21st from 6:00 until 8:00 PM at Starks Funeral Parlor, 3651 South 900 East, Salt Lake City. Private inurnment at Mount Calvary Catholic Cemetery.

From my first days at St. Vincent's and the years at Judge and after, I have been able to connect with Ann and her family. I have been lucky for that. Your loss is certainly deep. Each of you is in my prayers. Keep her kindness alive through your actions. With affection,
