Born on 24 July 1900, the daughter of Jessie M. Fox and Rena Neve Fox, Anne Marie Fox Felt (1900-1974) spent her life in Salt Lake City working in the field of education. She attended public schools in Salt Lake, graduated from LDS High School, and went on to graduate from the University of Utah as a kindergarten and primary teacher. She taught in public schools from 1919 to 1931 and served as president of the State Kindergarten-Primary Association from 1927 to 1931. She served for three terms as president of the National Association for Childhood Education, during which time the organization joined the international Association for Childhood Education (ACE). Anne Marie Fox married Joseph H. Felt in 1931 to Joseph H. Felt, a prominent Salt Lake City businessman.
In addition to her work in public education, Felt was associated with religious education as well. She served as director of kindergarten in the Granite and Grant Stakes of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was appointed as a member of the General Board of the Deseret Sunday School Union in 1930. In addition, she wrote and co-authored several religious books for children:
Life Lessons for Little Children , Sunday Morning in the Nursery , and Sacred Stories for Children .
Felt was also the founder of the Kiwanis Felt Center in Salt Lake City, an activity center designed to provide recreation for the city's youth. During the 1960s, she began to write a history of kindergartens in Utah as a thesis for a M.A. degree in the Department of Education at the University of Utah, which she never completed. Anne Marie Fox Felt died in 1974.
