Antonia D. Grunder, 60, of Bolton peacefully entered eternal life on June 16, 2012, at her home, with her beloved husband of 32 years, Gary Grunder, at her side, after a six-year battle with multiple myeloma. Antonia "Toni" was born on July 1, 1951, in Hartford and was raised in East Hartford, the daughter of Lenore (Lorello) Druzolowski and the late Charles Druzolowski.

Antonia was employed at the Travelers Insurance Co., later UnitedHealth Care in Hartford for over 37 years in the employee benefits/health care area. For a majority of her life she was a communicant of St. Isaac Jogues Parish in East Hartford. Toni will be forever thought of as a kind, gentle, and generous person who loved her family and friends above herself. She was a selfless individual who would be the first person to support others as they went through the trials and tribulations of life, even as she was suffering with her illness. She was a hard-working and dedicated individual with every life task she took on. Antonia loved her travels and adventures to Cape Cod and Rhode Island, her family gatherings and celebrations of life, all animals large and small, and all sports.
