Tosca Montie

Tosca Blume’ Born 1930 in Bremen Germany, daughter of a banker & decorated war soldier, granddaughter of Reverend Dr. Phil William Boree’ who spoke 7 languages. Her great aunt was a countess, something she was very proud of. Growing up her first job was for the Air Force institute, then on to school for fashion design (sewing & replicating the latest fashions for herself), consequently becoming a model in Germany & then in the United States. Living thru WW II, her “Tante Anna” cared for her when she lost her mother at only 8 years old, then later in life she went on to care for her aunt.

Tosca had a unique personality that was influenced by the loss of her mother during her early years. Her circumstances required her to become independent and hardworking, which she definitely was… inspiring her son & daughters thru life whom she had a very close relationship with.

Tosca lived life to the fullest, exploring many places near and far. She and Bob Montie enjoyed cruising, overseas travel, cocktails & golfing where they were members at Chenequa Country Club.

Tosca outlived most of her family members by her determination to live an active lifestyle which included golf, tennis, & swimming.

Her softhearted compassion for animals inspired her generosity toward local humane societies. Her adopted kitties were her love, even traveling with her.

Loved by all that met her she made friends easily and adored her family. Referred to as the best dressed and accessorized woman in the room, she loved to be out & about laughing and enjoying all around her! Taking great care of her style, fitness, & family right to the end. Wise beyond belief even at 92. …Gentle & firm, Generous & soft, caring & gracious: the true definition of a classy lady.

Survived by her children: Volker Matzdorf, Tosca Russo (Bill), Michelle Edwards (Chad), grandchildren Marion Mann (Andy), Andreas Matzdorf (Alexandra), Gavin, Grace, & Erika Edwards, Great grandchildren Tom Mann, Mona & Dina Matzdorf, and many dear friends.
