Obituary = Anne - Marie Duboscq
April 19, 1933 - July 7, 2023
Born in Les Aldudes, Pays Basque, France, the 12th of 13 children. Predeceased by her husband, Remi, in 1993 and her son, Jean-Etienne, in 2008. Survived by sister Thérèse, and brother Emile and his wife, Jeanne; daughters Marie-Christine ("MC"), Yvette, and Geneviève; their spouses Shelby, Larry, and Lynn; granddaughters Elise, Anna, and Sandrine; and loving relatives in the Bilbao, Duboscq, Goyhenetche, Laxague, and Tissier families in the US, Québec, UK, and France.

A dreamer, storyteller, and fun-lover, Anne-Marie grew up in homes filled with unspoken love, hard work on farms, and stolen time for reading. "We didn't have much, but we had everything we needed," she'd say. She met Remi while working for the local doctor's family, and they married in 1953. With the help of family in the US, the couple and their four children left France in 1966 and settled in San Francisco. Anne-Marie worked many jobs over time: sorting clothes at Loustau Laundry on Sacramento St. for a few years; working as a housekeeper at the Hilton Hotel; selling gourmet items at Livingston's on Union Square, then at Liberty House, and finally at Neiman-Marcus. She retired in late 2001. Kind and generous, she gave the gift of attention to everyone she came to know in retail, mourning the loss of many during the AIDS crisis.
She renewed and made new friendships with fellow Basques and French speakers in the Bay Area after her husband's death, attended countless events at the Basque Cultural Center in South San Francisco, sang with the Elgarrekin Basque choir, attended mass at Notre Dame des Victoires and Corpus Christi churches, joined in activities with friends in her Outer Mission neighborhood. She tended the sick, particularly her son Jean-Etienne. Anne-Marie loved to connect with people and to hear their stories, though her own stories slowly wound down as dementia took hold. She died peacefully two weeks after contracting COVID. We thank the Cayuga Connectors friends who gave focus and shape to her days in her healthier retirement years, and the many people at Alma Via SF, FirstLight Home Care, Suncrest Hospice, and Heirloom Rose Garden who later cared for our mother.
Friends and family are invited to the funeral mass on Tues., Aug. 22, at St. Agnes Catholic Church, 1025 Masonic Avenue, near Oak Street, SF, where neighborhood parking is limited. (Please leave plenty of time, carpool, or take a bus or taxi.) To help protect medically vulnerable people like our mother, we ask that you wear a mask. Please visit www.duggans-serra.com/obituaries for more information.
In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to one of her preferred organizations: the Basque Cultural Center Women's Club, City Team SF, or KQED.
