She worked as an Elementary Instructor for many years in the Jordan and Nebo School Districts. She was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Ana Maria enjoyed music and playing the guitar but was happiest when listening to her husband playing the guitar. She enjoyed reading, sewing, and writing. She loved being a mother and grandmother and always cherished her family time. Her love extended to animals and over the years she had many furry friends of all kinds. Ana Maria touched many lives, always gave of herself, and unselfishly made time for others with a smile on her face. She is survived by her husband, Barry, the love of her life of 40 years; Children; Stefan, Shannon, and Melissa; Grandchildren, Sierra, Elise, Lauren and Ryker; her mother Rosa; her siblings Rodrigo, Yvonne, Victor and Vincent; her niece and nephews; Alanna, Spencer and Will, and her cherished guinea pig, Bella.
