Mary Ann Hatch Roholt's Obituary
Mary Ann Hatch Roholt, passed away December 17, 2024 in Midvale, Utah after a struggle with liver cancer and Parkinson’s disease. Mary Ann was born September 20, 1941 in Murray, Utah to William Bradford and Roberta Cutler Hatch. She grew up in various spots in The Beehive State including Salt Lake, Circleville, Delta, Payson, and Springville before graduating from Delta High School, following which she attended the LDS Business College. This period of time while rooming with friends in the Avenues she fondly reminisced throughout her life. Mary Ann married James Garth Roholt in the Salt Lake Temple on March 30th, 1962.
Mary Ann was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and had a wonderful sense of humor. She was devoted to all she loved. An avid reader, magazines and books were always close at hand. She was well-read, and loved learning about a wide variety of topics. Mary Ann was also very creative and artistic. She worked in stained glass, photography, and sewed many school and Christmas outfits for her children. She did exquisite needlework, and was a great patron for arts, and built a fun and quirky collection of objects that made her home a memorable place.
Mary Ann always carried a strong love for children, and was often at the ready for them with a sweet treat or fun new toy from her vast collection. Surprisingly to many, Mary Ann was a big fan of action-filled violent movies. She worked at various locations including the Deseret Gym, Thera-Tec, Tea-Tec, Watson and Pfizer Pharmaceuticals. She resided in South Salt Lake for many years raising her children, and later in her life in Midvale, Utah.
She is survived by her siblings, Brad (Mary Ann) Hatch, Bruce (Louise) Hatch, Janet (John) Matthews.
