Anne Ramundo Obituary

Ramundo, Anne Margaret
Our beloved mother of 8, grandmother of 10 and great-grandmother of 2 joined our Lord on February 9th, 2009. Anne died peacefully in her home in Scottsdale, AZ. Anne was born in Newark, NJ on February 25th, 1927, the eldest of 5 children to Edward and Amelia Loeffler. Anne was a devoted mother to her 8 children raising them in NJ. She was very involved with school activities surrounding her children as well as her church. Anne always enjoyed bingo, bowling, her card club but most of all, cooking and spending time with her family. In 1973, Anne courageously decided to move from NJ to Phoenix, AZ where she became a medical transcriptionist and enjoyed a career at Family Practice in Phoenix for over 20 years. Once she retired, she continued to work part-time for 2 wonderful doctors in Phoenix well into her 70's. She retired completely in 2005. One of her great excitements was taking a trip to London in 1982 where her daughter Sue was studying. She is survived by her 8 children: Mary Ellen (Jon) Ross of Chandler, Joanne of Scottsdale, Louis of Great Falls, Montana, Mark of Scottsdale, Anne Marie of Cortez, CO, Stephen (David LaChance) of Dallas, TX, Suzanne of Gilbert, AZ and Michele (John Kidder) of Chandler, AZ. She is also survived by her grandchildren Lara Ayers (David) Matthew, Ciara, Ayla, Domenic, Melissa, Lauren, Christopher, Erica and Kiva as well as 2 great-grandchildren Aiden and Emily Ayers, her brother Charles Loeffler of NJ, her brother Edward Loeffler of Phoenix and her sister Evelyn Fitzgerald of Arlington, TX. She was predeceased by her brother Francis Loeffler. The family would like to thank Hospice of the Valley for their care and kindness. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in Anne's name to Hospice of the Valley, 1510 E. Flower St., Phoenix, AZ 85014. A funeral mass will be held on Friday, February
13th at 10:00 a.m. at St. Daniel the Prophet Catholic Church, 1030 N. Hayden Rd., Scottsdale, AZ. Arrangements by Messinger Indian School Mortuary, Scottsdale, AZ.

My Godmother,...a true mother in the ways of our Lord...like Mother Mary. My spiritual mother. Aunt Annie taught me my "J.M.J."- Jesus: THE Christian...Aunt Annie lived as Christ, Mary: the mother of mothers...Aunt Annie modeled Mary, and Joseph: the worker the provider, the strength....Aunt Annie was all that Joseph ever was! My Godmother will ALWAYS inspire me to aspire to the "J.M.J." in my life. From today's quote on St. Therese's website: "Jesus will reward you a hundredfold for the sweet joys you have given up for Him." St. Therese, The Little Flower . Aunt Annie, you truly did remain a wife and mother to your family throughout your entire lifetime. May this hundredfold abound to all of your generations thus forth! I love you. xoxoxoxo Your Goddaughter, Lori Ann Fitzgerald

Grandma, everyday goes by and I think of you. You were my one true rock to lean on when times were tough, and I will truely miss getting words of advice from you. You never took sides and that is what I loved. I always felt a special bond with you being the oldest grandchild, and I hope I made you proud. My children will be forever grateful to have met such a wonderful person. And Dave is glad he got to know you as well. Our trips to Arizona will never quite be the same without you there, but I am glad you are at peace now. I miss you and love you, and you will always be a part of me.
Love always, your grandaughter, Lara

Mother,
My sorrow is only softened by the fact I know you're at peace in heaven with God. Your strength, laughter and especially your smile will always be remembered. You are the rock of our family. Because of you, our lives were made easier in diffficult times and happier in somber times. You were our sounding board, you were our friend, you were our mother. You radiated care, love, and compassion. You are Saint Anne.
I love you dearly,
Your son,
Louis

Grandma Anne:
Everything you did reflected the feelings you had for your family. You have been and always will be the heart and soul of a very special family. A family that admires you, appreciates you, and loves you. Life brings many changes, but nothing will ever undo the wonderful legacy of your love that goes on and on for us.

We had fun at the Jersey shore and the get-togethers on July 4th. I hope I was your children's favorite aunt, LOL. Lot's of love, Your Sister (Aunt Ebby a.k.a. Aunt Evey) xoxo

Whenever I think of "Aunt Annie", the first thing I see in my mind is this great big smile and sparkling eyes. Then she approaches me and touches both of my cheeks and kisses me. That is the way she always greeted me. I truly could feel her love every time I saw her. She never judged the things I did, however, when she thought she needed to give input, she did it. And did it in a way I would listen even though I did not want to hear. She really did know how to talk to her family, no matter what age or what relation you were to her. She was and will always be a mentor and role model to me. She lived in the respect she earned. She treated others the way she wanted to be treated. I only wish I become half the woman she was.

Mom, I feel like I lost my best friend in life. I've always treasured our special connection, & will miss our long phone conversations. You've given me so many signs since your transition, but even those are starting to fade. Hummingbirds will always remind me of you! You are reflected in all of your children, & I feel we all acquired our best qualities from you! I Love You!

Grandma,

I will never forget the time I came to your house. I think I was in 1st grade and me and my family stayed over your house. I got a fresh pack of the zebra gum.. it was multi-colored. And my Mom did laundry and it got all in your washer. Lol... sorry about that grandma.

Mom, I miss you every day but especially yesterday, my birthday. Someone told me that you were born to have me and I was born to care for you in your final days. I love you. You will be forever in my heart.

Try to remember her laughter where ever you roam. I'll miss her smiling face and warm conversation.

Loss of Mother Poem

Now that I am gone,
remember me with smiles and laughter.
And if you need to cry,
cry with your brother or sister
who walks in grief beside you.
And when you need me,
put your arms around anyone
and give to them what you need to give to me.
There are so many who need so much.
I want to leave you something --
something much better than words or sounds.
Look for me in the people I've known
or helped in some special way.
Let me live in your heart
as well as in your mind.
You can love me most
by letting your love reach out to our loved ones,
by embracing them and living in their love.
Love does not die, people do.
So, when all that's left of me is love,
give me away as best you can.

Ramundo Children - it was a terribly sad moment when I heard of the passing of your dear Mother. My thoughts turned back over the years to Anne when we worked together at Family Practice. Above all else that happened in her life, the one constant was how much she loved her children. She never deviated from that love. When our Mothers gave birth to us we, of course, had no idea of the incredible joys and sorrows that lay ahead. Nor did we understand how much we would depend on our Mothers to see us through all the ups and downs of life. But I like to think that instinctively, from birth, we knew that they would love us unconditionally throughout the intricate pathways of our futures. Even at times when we thought we were independently living our lives, we felt our Mothers' strong presence. Now that your Mother's physical presence has been taken from you temporarily, you will still have the wonderful memories that she has created for you over the years. The presence you will more strongly feel now is that of your Heavenly Father. He will help you through this difficult period of adjustment without your sweet Mother.

I won't say "I know how you feel" because I don't - I have lost a father, grandparents, brothers and a granddaughter, but not a mother. And I won't say "you'll get over it in time" - because you won't. You can do as your mother I'm sure would like for you to do, move forward in your lives, be a comfort to each other.

"Time takes away the edge of grief -
Memory turns back every leaf"

Rest peacefully, dear friend -
