Anne Onstad Sondgroth was born in St Paul Minnesota on June 12, 1936. Her father was an Episcopal priest, so they moved around a lot. She and her three younger siblings, Jane, Colin, and Katie, grew up in Minnesota, Oklahoma, Texas and Oregon. Anne graduated from Chico State University with a degree in education. She married Richard Sondgroth, and they moved to Klamath Falls where she got her first teaching job and Richard went to Oregon Technical Institute. When he graduated, they moved to Salem where she quickly got a job teaching at Morningside Elementary. She taught at Morningside, Cummings, and Sumpter elementary schools and retired in 1998. She is survived by her two daughters, Karen Jeffrey and Kristen Choate, as well as her three grandchildren, Kevin Jeffrey, Michelle Schroth, and Devon Choate. She also has four great grandchildren, Solomon Schroth, Hunter Choate, Heidi Choate, and Annabelle Choate.
