Anne Rundquist

March 22, 1929 - March 25, 2017

Anne Rundquist, a longtime resident of Wilmington, Delaware, died peacefully at her Napa residence on March 25th, just a few days after celebrating her 88th birthday. She was surrounded by her loving family at the time of her passing. Anne will be truly missed by her family as well as a seemingly endless trail of friends she acquired throughout her life. Born in Harrisonburg, Virginia, Anne moved to Wilmington after graduating from Madison College to work for the DuPont Company. There she met John, her loving husband of forty seven years. She led a full life, devoted to raising their two sons whom she deeply loved. She was active in the community, and enjoyed an ever growing circle of friends. She discovered new joy later in life working as a Docent at two Wilmington area museums. Anne refused to let life’s challenges hold her back. Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, she researched the disease with a passion, and found ways to minimize its affect. She continued to lead an active life, and she and John embarked on a twenty five year journey, traveling the world to see all the beauty that it had to offer. Anne will be deeply missed for her uncanny ability to make people feel special. She always made time for anyone, enjoying their successes and supporting them in their trials. Anne is now reunited with John and her son Tom, who preceded her in death. She is survived by her son Eric (Felicia) and her three grandchildren: Charlie, Christopher and Julia. The family wishes to thank the staff at Aegis of Napa, who provided her with the same love and care she extended to others during her life. Friends and family are invited to a memorial prayer service at 11:00 am Friday, March 31, at Claffey and Rota Funeral Home, 1975 Main Street in Napa. The family requests that any donations be sent in Anne’s memory to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
