Anna Marie Martinez Ghariani, age 51, died December 7, 2015 at the Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City, Utah, surrounded by her family. She was born December 2, 1964 in Price, Utah.

She was a member of the Catholic Church, later changed to LDS to follow her calling. She attended East Carbon High School and graduated in 1983. She attended CEU to pursue her cosmetology degree.
She was an avid fisher and enjoyed taking her children to Scofield Reservoir as she enjoyed camping when she wasn't working so hard. Her children were her devotion, pride and joy and who she truly lived for. She was a single parent, but helped many people along her journey, even if it was her last dollar, always giving and never taking anything in return.
