Hallie L. Sundberg

Palestine — Hallie L. Sundberg, 93, passed away Saturday, May 23, 2020 at the Palestine Regional Hospital.

She leaves; son, David and his wife Donna; grandchildren, Brittany Rodriguez and husband Arnulfo (Ace), Jay McDonald, Jeremy Sundberg, Matthew Sundberg and wife Natalie, Clayton McDonald; great grandchildren, Hallie Sundberg, Joaquin and Jacqueline Rodriguez, and Kaia Sundberg; great-great grandchild, Charlotte Weisgarber, and many nieces, nephews and friends. She was predeceased by her husband, Grover Sundberg; parents, Hilmar and Hilda Scheele; daughter, Sandra McDonald, and grandchild, Mitchell McDonald.

Born in Boerne, TX, she later resided in Ft. Worth, McGregor, Arlington, Alba, and finally Palestine, TX. Before retiring, Hallie operated a teletype machine at a Sears satellite store in Arlington, TX. She and her husband, Grover, enjoyed a lifetime of fishing, especially at Lake Fork, but Hallie never learned how to swim. 

Mrs. Sundberg was an avid gardener, cook and seamstress.  She volunteered in organizations such as Cub Scouts and Rainbow girls for her children. She organized the Alba Methodist Ladies Sewing Ministry at the Alba Methodist Church, which is still responsible for hundreds of quilts donated to the Shriners every year.

She was known as Mamaw to her grandchildren. She was a part of every single major moment in their lives.  They will always remember her kindness, her stories, her never-empty cookie jar, finding her at the slot machines in Vegas, the Good Grades Awards, and the Easter egg hunts, just to name a few.

Hallie could take an everyday event and turn it into a short novel. She was quite the story teller. Those stories will be missed by all.
