Martha Anne

Dewberry

Anne Dewberry, 83, of Birmingham, Alabama, passed away peacefully on October 24, 2026, at the age of 83. Anne was born in 1943 in Birmingham, Alabama.

Anne lived in a variety of small towns in North Georgia and North Carolina, such as Brasstown, Ellijay, Epworth, and Blue Ridge. In 2018, she moved to Ogden, UT, with her husband, granddaughter, and a family friend. In 2020, her husband passed away. In 2021, her granddaughter decided to move back to Georgia, but Anne did not want to return to the humidity. This is when she moved to Montpelier, ID. She much preferred small towns and even Ogden, UT, was a bit too large.

Anne attended some college classes but did not earn a degree. She had a successful career as a ballet dance instructor for small children, a desktop publisher, and owned a store that sold yarn equipment and supplies.

In her free time, Anne enjoyed all things related to yarn, everything from processing raw wool to creating a complete garment. She loved teaching others the various steps of creating the yarn and then knitting with it. Anne was actively involved in her local church and volunteered as a firefighter.

Despite having a mild allergy to cats, she always seemed to have at least one. She dealt with the symptoms since they were not severe and she just adored the cats' little noses and toes. Many times, she would allow the cats to do as they wished, even when that included walking across her keyboard or onto her latest knitting project.

She was a 37-year breast cancer survivor.

Anne is survived by her two children, Robert Key and Keryn Key, many grandchildren, and a few great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, Larry Dewberry.

Anne's Celebration of Life service will be held on Saturday, November 14th, at 1pm at the Bear Lake Senior Center. The event will feature music, speaking, and cookies.

The family would like to thank everyone for their love and support during this difficult time. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the local senior center and/or firefighter's association in honor of Anne's dedication to the community.

Anne will be deeply missed by her family and friends, who cherish the memories of her kind heart and unwavering dedication to her passions.
