Mrs. Anderson was born on Feb. 27, 1946, in Greenville, Texas, to Albert and Rosie Lee Williams. She grew up and attended school there and moved to Arizona in 1967. She married Nathaniel Anderson in 1971 in Casa Grande. She was a homemaker and a good seamstress. She loved fishing, spending time with her family and taking care of them and had a contagious laugh. She also loved playing handheld video games and dominoes with her sisters and friends.
She gave her life to the Lord more than 20 years ago under the pastoral leadership of Pastor Clarence C. Edwards. She was a faithful church member and served as assistant Sunday school superintendent and prayer and Bible band president. She sang in the choir for several years and looked forward to going to church and accompanying her pastor to various engagements.
