"Andy" Anderson at St. Brendan's Church in Pittsburgh and began her life adventure through four states, finally settling in Bucyrus with her family. Andy preceded her in death January 18, 1999 leaving an unfillable void.

As well as her parents and beloved husband of nearly 52 years, she was preceded in death by five brothers, three sisters and many loved nieces and nephews.

She loved her family and friends and she will be greatly missed by the many that knew and loved her.

In her working years, she was employed by J.C. Penney in Bucyrus, managed Jean Frock ladies clothing store and was the last owner of the Gayety Shop. In retirement she was blessed to care for her "treasured" grandchildren.
