Anne Bordner Obituary
1941 ~ 2025
Friday, July 11th we lost one of the most vibrant, outgoing, adventurers on this planet. Annie B Mum, Graammaa, the full moon took you that afternoon and the moonflower bloomed OF YOU in my garden the following morning! The single flower that only blooms for one day was born of the seeds you insisted I take a while back from your own little garden. Synchronicity!
You were surrounded by loved ones when you drew your last breath, your strapping grandson gently placing his hands on your sweet head sending you off with a final prayer. Minutes later you left the tuckered out mind and body that had quite literally traveled around the world with you 1 month shy of 84 years.
The Matriarch of our tiny family that is growing again will be sorely missed. Your instructive, sassy, spicy, BIG, wisewoman voice will live on in the ear of all of your offspring and friends "if you lose your breath you lose your turn", an article to read "article Annie", yet another researched topic to review a glorious new place to travel it was your job to explore and inform!! You have left a legacy of strong brilliant women and educated men oh mother of mine!
Ann graduated from Weber State College as an RN worked as a Respiratory ICU Nurse, Kidney Transplant Coordinator, Assisted in Surgery and helped implement drug studies. She received a second degree in Philosophy & Bio Ethics from the University of Utah. She loved Mother Nature, as a fisherwoman, gardener extraordinaire, golfer, skier (water & snow), hiker, scuba diver, photographer, historian and a true artist crafting a display of beautiful things with everything she touched.
Preceded in Death by her husband Bill Bordner, mother and father Ted & Nedra Jessop, & brother Teddy Jessop. Still living, brother Dan Jessop, children Jeff Wheeler, Suzy W Mang, the grands, Jeffie, Lindsay, Carly, Cassie and the greats Xander Kalia, Presley, Tayson, Rinn, Mauricio, & Pepper Lee (7).
Annie's ashes will be spread next to Billy's in the great outdoors! In celebration of her life, plant something that will grow creating more oxygen for our planet.

I worked with Anne when she came to work with us at Charles Anthony Diamond Exchange. She was always so great, classy, and funny. And while that was 45 years ago, she never changed, always greeting me with so much enthusiasm and kindness. I have great memories of her and hope those memories shared with her family are a comfort as you mend your broken hearts.
