Ruby Taylor Anderson

Mrs. Ruby Taylor Anderson, 94, of Martinsville passed away on Tuesday, May 17, 2016. She was born in Amherst, VA on November 19, 1921 to the late Arthur and Carrie Taylor. She was also preceded in death by her son, Jerry Anderson and a brother, Erwin “Bunny” Taylor.

Mrs. Anderson is survived by husband of 75 years, James H. Anderson, one daughter, Carol Collins of High Point NC and son, Dennis H. Anderson of Walkertown NC; grandchildren, Kim (Roger) Palmer, Doug W. (Stephanie) Anderson, and Jeffrey (Pam) Anderson; great grandchildren, Kaitlyn Palmer and Samuel Anderson; and three sisters, Flossie Seay of Reidsville, NC., Thelma Rigney of Eden, NC., Cupidean Martin of Martinsville. She was also survived by numerous nieces and nephews.

She is also survived by a very special niece, Dean (Phil) Vernon of Lakeland FL., who was a daughter at heart. Once Mr. and Mrs. Anderson retired, Dean encouraged them to spend the winter months in Florida. That became a yearly tradition and lead to some of the happiest days of Ruby’s life because of the special things they did together.

Mrs. Anderson was a devoted member of Trinity Friends Church for over 70 years where she taught Sunday school in her younger years. She was a retiree of Sara Lee.
