Anne Gertrud Marie Wilson, a longtime resident of Melrose and formerly of Hanaskog, Sweden, passed away on Thursday, June 22, 2023 at Tufts Medical Center in Boston. She was 66 years of age.
Born on October 25, 1956 in Finja, Sweden, Anne grew up in Hanaskog, Sweden with her older brother Jörgen, her mother Asta Nilsson, and her father Einar Nilsson. She missed them dearly as they have all predeceased her. She has now been reunited with them.
Anne is remembered for her kind and caring nature and always being there to help anyone in need. She loved spending time with family and friends. She absolutely adored and cherished her children, they were her world. Anne loved plants and flowers, music, especially ABBA, and good times. She enjoyed Yankee Candles, was a puzzle enthusiast, and lover of all things licorice. Holidays were her favorite and she was always excited for them. Although many will remember Anne as being quiet, she was always a listener and confidant to many people. Though tiny in frame, those close to her will remember her as being as strong as any.
Anne is survived by her husband Eric “Rick” Wilson with whom she shared 39 love filled years of marriage, her son Christopher Wilson, her daughter Maria Wilson, several in-laws, cousins, nieces and nephews, both here in the United States and in Sweden.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend Anne’s visiting hours on Saturday, October 28, 2023 from 11 A.M. to 1 P.M. with her Funeral Service at 1 P.M. in The Carr Funeral Home, 220 Bunker Hill St. Charlestown. Her burial will be private.
In lieu of flowers, Anne would wish you to donate to your favorite cause.
