A Wells Fargo executive died unexpectedly while on a business trip aged just 56, it emerged today.

Anne Doss, who headed Wells Fargo’s personal and small-business insurance division, died on Wednesday at a Sofitel hotel in Minnesota from apparent 'natural causes'.

'It is with great sadness that Wells Fargo confirms that Anne Doss, head of our personal and small-business insurance division, has passed away,' the bank said in a statement yesterday.

A spokeswoman for the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office said her death was being investigated.

Her husband of 26 years Herbert said she went there on a business trip and that her death was a shock to him because she was in 'perfect health and very into exercise'.

He told the Charlotte Observer his wife had attended 'numerous very important' roundtable meetings on Tuesday.

They last spoke on Tuesday night.

'I spoke to her as she was going to sleep,' he said. 'She sounded fine, was perfect.'

Family spokeswoman Marsha Askins told Bloomberg: 'Anne is remembered by the many who loved her for her piercing green eyes, impeccable style -- thank you, Neiman Marcus -- attention to detail, deep wisdom, fierce love of God, and all things Rock & Roll, especially Marvin Gaye, the Beatles, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, and Bob Marley.

'She displayed kindness and generosity to everyone, was angered by and fought injustices to others.'

Doss was responsible for boosting collaboration between the insurance, business and retail-banking groups, according to a December statement announcing her new role.

She has a son, 30, and a daughter, 31, who both live in Charlotte.

She was ordained as an interfaith minister in 2003 by One Spirit Interfaith Seminary in New York City and officiated her daughter’s wedding, according to Askins.
