Elizabeth Ann Seamons Luthi
Elizabeth Ann Seamons Luthi was born in Soda Springs, ID, March 22, 1939, to Nelda Blackburn Seamons and Wendell David Seamons. Ann was a beautiful little girl who was a joy to be around. She was later joined by a younger brother, John (Jack). She attended school in Soda Springs. While attending high school, she worked at the Dairy Bar and Grant’s Tomb. She had many friends and graduated in 1957.
Ann met the love of her life on a “blind date.” She was hesitant to go, but her aunt insisted. She did go and the rest is history. Ann and Allen B. Luthi were married April 25, 1958, in the Logan, UT Temple.
The young couple lived in Salt Lake City for eight years and then returned to Soda Springs. Their children were Carey Ann, Karen, Janice, and Allen Jr.; another son, John, was stillborn. Her family was her pride and joy. When her kids were was in school, Ann worked in retail for Fargo’s and Mode O’ Day where she enjoyed visiting with the customers. She also worked at Quik Stop.
She was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and held many positions in the wards that she attended, including Primary and Relief Society presidents.
Ann and Allen were able to move to Freedom, Idaho to the Luthi family homestead; they were thrilled to make the move. Allen worked a few more years until his retirement; they would go to Overton, NV for the winter months. They enjoyed this very much and were very involved in the retirement community. Ann was the “official scorekeeper” for many winters of horseshoes, lawn golf, shuffleboard, and corn hole. After Allen passed away on November 5th, 2019, Ann continued to go south; although, she missed Allen very much. Her family and neighbors in the court checked in on her often. She enjoyed these visits very much.
Ann was a very special person to her family, along with many friends and relatives. If you wanted an honest answer, you got it. If you didn't want an honest answer, you didn't ask. Her husband, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren meant the world to her.
Ann was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Allen, her mother and stepfather Nelda and Harold, father Wendell, brother Jack, daughter Carey Ann, son John, grandsons Ronald and Donald and two great-granddaughters, each named Charlotte. She is survived by two brothers, David Modersitzki and Raymond Seamons, son-in-law Jan Christensen, daughters Karen (Greg) Lowry and Janice (Bret) Campbell, son Allen (Liesl) Luthi, thirteen grandchildren plus spouses and twenty-six great-grandchildren.
