- The Tacoma News TribuneSunday, November 10, 2013Annette Margareta Sundquist was born in Sweden on July 19, 1920 and went to be with Jesus November 7, 2013. She married husband Elmer on May 6, 1944 who preceded her in death in 1989. She leaves behind three daughters and two sons; one grandchild. In 1948 Annette and one daughter immigrated to the USA to be with her husband who had come the year prior. Leaving her family in Sweden, learning a new language, raising a young daughter with special needs and trying to fit in to a new culture was difficult, but she always loved a challenge. In 1956 Annette met her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and life was forever Changed. She loved to study the Bible and praying was a joyful discipline. As she prayed her faith increased as she saw the hand of God move in her life and that of her family and friends. "Woman" was whet we affectionately called our super mom. She thrived on hard physical labor and gardening was a favorite past time. She has one speed and it was fast! Serving, talking, working and driving! Mom never gave up on projects or people. When those in her path felt they couldn't go on or didn't want too, mom took that as a challenge to help them forge ahead whether they liked it or not! She was an optimist and laughed a lot and would quote: "a cheerful heart is good medicine." Her faith was based on Jesus Christ. Her blessings came from serving Him, and her greatest desire was "I, (Jesus) am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father ut by me." John 14:6. Our loss is great but we look forward to the day that we will once again meet in the presence of Jesus! Visitation will be held from 6 pm to 8 pm, Wednesday, November 13 ad 8 am to 12 noon, Thursday, November 14 at Mountain View Funeral Home's Celebration of Life Center Chapel followed by a a reception. In lieu or flowers please make a donation to S.E. Tacoma FISH, 1704 E. 85, Tacoma, WA 98445.
