Theodora “Sis” Kunde
1931-2008
Theodora “Sis” Kunde, passed away on Oct. 13 in Santa Rosa at the age of 76. A member of the Sonoma Valley grape-growing family which owns the famed Wildwood Vineyards and whose brothers founded Kunde Estate Winery, Sis was born in 1931 to Arthur and Catherine Kunde, the owners of the 650-acre farm and vineyard near Kenwood. She attended Sonoma Valley High School and married Arthur Dexter in the 1950’s. The couple bought a small piece of the family farm, and had two children, Heidi and Arthur.
Sis was predeceased by her brothers, Lou, Fred and Bob. She is survived by her son Ardy (Lisa) Dexter of Santa Rosa; her daughter Heidi Dexter of Glen Ellen; her brother Rich (Saralee) Kunde of Windsor; grandchildren Nickolas and Lindsey Dexter; sisters-in-law Joyce, Jane and Leslie; numerous nieces and nephews; her companion, Reggie Wilson of Sonoma, and her beloved dog, Ranger. Sis loved to cook, to travel, spend time at her vacation home in Truckee, and was very fond of horses and all animals. She was employed as a Tour Guide with Sebastiani Winery for over 20 years. After retiring in 1985, she continued to live on the family ranch.
In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to the Kenwood Fire Dept., Glen Ellen Fire Dept., or the American Mustang & Burrow Assoc., P.O. Box 608, Greenwood, DE 19950.
