Ann Marie Schwichow's Obituary
Ann Marie Schwichow, age 70 of Millsboro, DE, passed away on Tuesday, December 21, 2021, at Beebe Healthcare in Lewes, DE. She was born on October 9, 1951, in Philadelphia, PA, daughter of the late Gerald and Mary (Lawless) Burbidge.
Mrs. Schwichow loved coastal living and all it had to offer, especially soaking up the sun and listening to the waves crash on the beach. She was an avid reader, devouring as many thriller novels as she could get her hands on. A kind and generous heart, Mrs. Schwichow volunteered her time at St. James thrift shop. More than anything, she cherished time spent with those she loved, especially her adored grandchildren. Mrs. Schwichow was a loving and devoted mother, grandmother, and friend. She was loved by many and will be deeply and genuinely missed by all who had the good fortune to know her.
In addition to her parents, Mrs. Schwichow was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Drew Schwichow, who passed in 2009; her brothers: Gerald, Joseph, and Timothy Burbidge; and her sisters: Eileen Burbidge and Carol Deaver. She is survived by her children: Drew Schwichow (Margaret) of Texas, Scot Schwichow (Diane) of North Carolina, and Sarah Schwichow of Delaware; and her grandchildren: Brynn Breault of Delaware, Emily and Anna Schwichow of Texas, and Gavin Schwichow of North Carolina.
Services will be private.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions to the World Wildlife Fund, 1250 24th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20037.
