ST. ANSGAR, IOWA - Anita Joan Rustad, 79, of St. Ansgar died Tuesday, May 3, 2011, at the Good Samaritan Center in St. Ansgar.
Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 7, at First Lutheran Church in St. Ansgar with the Rev. Robert Porisch officiating and burial in the First Lutheran Cemetery following the service. Visitation will be held 5-7 p.m. Friday at the Schroeder & Sites Funeral Home in St. Ansgar.
Anita was born on February 17, 1932, to Clifford and Marie (Mehus) Thorson. Anita spent her entire life in the St. Ansgar area, graduating from St. Ansgar High School in 1950. Anita married her high school sweetheart, Robert Rustad, on October 21, 1951. This October would have been their 60th anniversary. To this union six children were born.
A busy mother and farm wife, she devoted her life to raising her children and helping on the farm. When her own children were grown, Anita became a day-care provider for many of the area youth.
She was a lifelong member of First Lutheran Church, where she was baptized, confirmed and married. She enjoyed singing in the choir, quilting, doing crafts and playing cards. One of her greatest joys was watching her children and grandchildren participate in their numerous activities. Anita rarely missed a school concert or sporting event from the 1970s until just before her death.
In 1996 Anita suffered from a renal disease, which left her requiring lifelong dialysis. She was a fighter, spending 14 and a half years on dialysis, the longest for any patient of the Mason City Mercy Dialysis Center.
Left to cherish her memory include her husband, Robert; her children: Deb and her husband, Dan Freeman of St. Ansgar, Dennis and his wife Michelle of Des Moines, Duane and his wife Patti of Grafton, Dave and his wife Cindy of St. Ansgar and Deanna Rustad of Waterloo; grandchildren: Jon (Tracy) Heimer, Joe (Sam), Danielle and Rachel Freeman; Bayley, Violet and Opal Rustad; Aaron, Megan, Taylor and Klay Rustad; Jamie Rustad, Mandi (Casey) Graham and Tyce Rustad; great-grandchildren: Shelby, Zach and Ashley Heimer, and Drew Freeman; step-grandchildren: Jeff (Bobbi), James Freeman and Jennifer (Kevin) Tucke; step-great-grandchildren: Nicholas and Jessie Jo Freeman and Coryssa, Makaya and Brayden Tucke. Sisters: Delores Feldt and Arlene (Rudy) Tesch; sister-in law Cleo (Ray) Kolpin; and three nieces and three nephews.
Anita was preceded in death by her parents, mother and father in-law, and infant daughter, Gloria.
Memorials may be given to First Lutheran Church Building Fund or St. Ansgar Booster Club.
Schroeder & Sites Funeral Home, St. Ansgar, Iowa, is in charge of arrangements, 641-713-4920.
