Anna Sundberg Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 4, 2008.
Anna Delores Lougy Williams Sundberg 1928 ~ 2008 Ann Sundberg, born November 15, 1928, passed away peacefully in her home the morning of May 2, 2008. It was a beautiful, sunny day, and she was surrounded by people who loved her deeply.The victim of an extremely harsh childhood, Ann grew into the most selfless and loving woman anyone could possibly imagine. A devoted mother and wife, she sacrificed endlessly on behalf of her family and arduously provided the foundation of stability and love. More commonly known in her later years simply as "Gram," Ann inspired all those around her through humility, humor and grace. She was selfless, loving, fun, funny, friendly, outgoing, curious, intelligent, passionate, ambitious, talented, creative, resilient and genuine. She threw herself into her many hobbies with impassioned fervor and savored life's small pleasures with a connoisseur's discerning taste. She read voraciously, sewed and gardened tenaciously, and she even worked tirelessly to successfully master the perfect "Chicken Dance." Her legacy is evident in the blessed lives of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She was the example that we all aspire to, but that we can never quite attain. Ann was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Llewellyn G. Sundberg. She is survived by her children, Valerie (Mark) Anderson, Vickie (Douglas) Walker, Robert (Maureen) Sundberg and Teresa (Kyle) Johnson; eight grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren. Funeral services will be held Tuesday, May 6 at 12:00 p.m. at the Butler 1st Ward, 2695 East 7000 South. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Ann's preferred charity, Utah Youth Village, 5800 South Highland Drive, Salt Lake City, UT 84121.

Dear Val and family,
I am very sorry that you no longer have your mom physically with you. She was always so kind and interested in someone when she met them. She always greeted us with a gentle quiet smile and made us feel welcome. We had no doubt of the love you shared. I'm so very sorry Val for your personal loss. Love Jackie and family.

Dear Vickie, Val, Teresa and Rob,
I feel so sad. Ann was such a good friend to me, we bonded instantly upon finding we had the same last name. She was like a sister and a mother to me. We shared so many problems, I thought we came from the same gene pool. I think of her often, and will never forget her. For her laughter that she shared, and her love. May God be with you in your mourning.

Love, Susie Sundberg

To Ann's wonderful children,

Although it has been years since I've seen your dear mother, my heart aches knowing of her passing. For some reason I thought she would live forever. Perhaps it is because she is everything and more that is mentioned in her obituary. I know her legacy carries on in her wonderful family.

When she was Judge Rigtrip's clerk and I was Judge Uno's clerk, we would get to work early, grab a cup of our favorite morning beverage and sit and have our daily "therapy" session. We would laugh and cry [mostly laugh], talk about the joys of working in the court system and then we were ready to start our day. The years working with your mom were truly the best years of working in the courts for me. I have missed her a lot through the years. I still have the Mrs. Santa Clause hat your mom made for me for one of Judge Uno's Christmas parties we had.

There isn't enough space to write of all the wonderful things I could say about your mom. I will cherish her memory and the good times we had always. I am very honored to have known her and worked with her. She was a great friend.

I do know she loved each and every one of you with all her heart and she showed it daily. She was so proud of all of you and your accomplishments. She adored all of her grandchildren too. How very lucky all of you are to have her for your mother. I am a better person for having known her.

My heart and prayers are with you at this very difficult time.

My love to all of you -

Valerie, Vicki, Robert, and Teresa:
I know there is a great reunion happening at this time. Your father and mother are together again. How joyous for them. May you be comforted in knowing this. Your mother was always so sweet and kind to me. May you feel the arms of a loving Father in Heaven hold you during this time.

We all remember Mrs. Sundberg well, when we lived across the street she was always welcoming to our little girls as they made the neighborhood rounds for Girl Scout cookies, school fundraisers, and so on -- she was kind and encouraging, and never condescending, and my daughters always looked forward to seeing her. I know she will be much missed!

Valerie, Vickie, Robert, Teresa: Our sincere condolence and sorrow with the passing of your mother. She was and is just as you have written. What a wonderful testament. What a wonderful legacy she created and left. I came across a little poem that says: A rose once grew where all could see, sheltered by a garden wall. And, as the days passed swiftly by, it spread its branches straight and tall. One day, a beam of light shown through a crevice that had opened wide - the rose bent gently toward its warmth, then passed beyond to the other side... Now, you who feel its loss, be comforted -the rose blooms there - it's beauty even greater now, nurtured by God's own loving care.
God bless. Monte & Carolyn Yeager
