Anne Meadows, 45, Appleton, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, January 1, 2026 at her home. She was born December 7, 1980 in Joplin, MO to Thomas and Sharon (Rudnick) Sturke.

Anne was a graduate of Green Bay Southwest and of the University of Minnesota, receiving her bachelor's and master's degree in business and education. On September 15, 2007 she married Jeremy Meadows at Pilgrim Congregational. Together they worked on building their beautiful family and Anne assisted Jeremy in growing the family business.

Anne took immense pride in her children and family. Anne truly loved any time that she could spend with the kids and volunteered at St. Peters Lutheran School in the school library. She and Jeremy enjoyed many trips over the years and they loved to take the kids with them. The whole family loved their relaxing weekends and summers at the lake house. She made every holiday joyous - and maybe a little over the top. Christmas was always a magical time because of all of Anne's efforts. She knew how blessed she and her family were and she wanted to make sure that other families in need could feel that also. It warmed her heart to provide for other families through Toys for Tots and Adopt-A-Family.

Anne is survived by her husband, Jeremy; her children, Emma, Laura and Dean; her parents, Tom and Sharon Sturke; her sister, Sarah (Dave) Thibodeau and their son, Jack; her mother-in-law, Bonita Meadows; her brother-in-law, Trey Meadows; her maternal grandmother, Veronica Rudnick; many loving friends and extended family.

Friends and family will gather at Blaney Funeral Home, 1521 Shawano Ave., from Noon to 2 pm Sunday January 11 with the Memorial Service to follow at 2 p.m. To send online condolences, please go to www.BlaneyFuneralHome.com.
