Born July 28, 1908, died January 26, 2013.
She studied violin at MacPhail Center for Music, played professionally in string quartets in the Twin Cities. She loved to travel, especially to visit family in Norway, doing so once after breaking her hip just months earlier. Neighbors described her as the "heart and soul" of the block, living in the same home for 57 years, always looking forward to the next neighborhood block party. She will be remembered for her sense of adventure, determined attitude, gracious spirit and genuine appreciation of life. She was a model of how to live for all who knew her.
She is preceded in death by her dear husband Paul Anderson. She is survived by her son David (Rosemary) Andersen, granddaughter Heidi (James) Coplin, and great- grandson Andersen Coplin - in addition to numerous extended family members, friends, and neighbors.
The family is appreciative of the loving care provided by the staff of Martin Luther Manor in Bloomington.
The Memorial service will be held in the spring.
Memorials preferred to MacPhail Center for Music, Mpls or to the Animal Humane Society.
