Toledo Blade Obituary published May 13, 2011 reads:
Anne Marie (Labuzinski) Szumigala, age 81, passed away Tuesday, May 10, 2011, while undergoing heart surgery. She was born May 3 1930, in Toledo, OH, the daughter of Walter and Mary Labuzinski.
She attended Central Catholic High School (class of 1948), attended Joliet University on scholarship, and graduated from the University of Toledo, specializing in the field of education. She continued her education at Eastern Michigan University, and earned a Master's Degree in Gerontology.
Anne spent a lifetime devoting herself to helping and educating others, especially within the Toledo Public Schools and at Immaculate Conception and Little Flower Catholic schools in Toledo. She also taught at Bedford Public schools and taught continuing education courses at the Monroe Senior Center in Monroe, MI. She was an honored recipient of President George H.W. Bush's "Thousand Points of Light Award" for her volunteer work in the field of education. She was an integral coordinator of the G.I.V.E. (Grandparents Interested in Volunteering for Education) program in Toledo.
Anne also volunteered for numerous community enrichment activities, including the Toledo Museum of Art (The Peristyle), the Masonic Auditorium, and other cultural events.
She sang in the choir at Little Flower Church and made it a priority to sing at funeral masses to aid in comforting families of the dearly departed. She also volunteered for the PTA, the Cub Scouts, and the Toledo Mother of Twins Club. She served as Volunteer Director for the DACOVA United Way Volunteers Action Committee and as a Director of the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program.
Anne found time to pursue other passions in her life. She traveled the globe, starting with primitive camping trips across the USA with her family, and later in life traveling with her husband Jim to destinations in Europe, Scandinavia, Egypt, Russia, Japan, and the Amazon River. She enjoyed nature by daily walks and tending her extensive vegetable and flower gardens. She nurtured life, even planting dozens of flowers the weekend before her untimely death. She loved spring, the season of rebirth and new growth. Her motto was "Live each day".
Anne balanced these outside activities while supporting her family by making home cooked meals, sewing, cooking and canning produce, and making specialty Polish and ethnic dishes. Her children anticipated the arrival of Placek shipped to them every Easter and Christmas. Even professionally catered family events were enhanced by the addition of her special, home cooked items.
She is survived by her loving husband of 58 years, Jim; her children: Amy (Bob) Mohler, Houston, TX; David (Ellen Daley) Szumigala, Fairbanks, AK, Dale (Lisa) Szumigala, Colorado Springs, CO, Cathy (Michele Condie) Szumigala, Wellsville, UT, Sue (Richard) Morgan, Wauseon, OH; grand children, Jeremy, Jonathan and Jennifer Mohler; Matias, Antonio and Nayeli Szumigala, Cassandra Szumigala; Tyce Liston, Nichole Heller, Jessica and Christina Morgan and great grand children, Isaiah, Ethan, Elijah, Isaac and Ella Heller.
She was preceded in death by her parents and grandson, Nathan Morgan.
Friends and family may visit on Sunday, May 15, from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. at W.K. Sujkowski & Son Funeral Home, 3838 Airport Hwy., where the Rosary will be recited at 4 p.m.
Funeral services will begin with prayers at the mortuary on Monday at 11:15 a.m., followed by the Mass of Christian Burial at 12 Noon at Little Flower Church, 5522 Dorr St, Toledo, Ohio. Interment to follow at Resurrection Cemetery, 5725 Hill Avenue
