Mary Anderson

Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. A resident of West Palm Beach since 1970, she was

born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Henry and Helene Woll on August 10, 1931. She

attended Wheaton College, where she met Robert D. Anderson (Bob). They married in

September 1952 after her junior year, then she continued her studies at Columbia Bible

College in preparation for missions work in Peru, South America. She and Bob started

a Young Life Club in Augusta, Georgia, in 1953 before leaving for the jungles of Peru

where they served with South America Mission from 1954 - 1970.

After moving to West Palm Beach in 1970, Mimi took a job teaching Spanish at The

King’s Academy from 1972 to 2001. It was at King’s Academy where Mimi really

shined. She was an enthusiastic and dearly loved teacher whose impact in the lives of

her students is evident even yet today.

Mimi had a zest for life and stayed active. An avid tennis player, she was sure to get

her court time throughout the week. She loved her family and treasured up the times

they could get together for family reunions throughout the years. She also sang in the

choir at Lake Osborne Presbyterian Church in Lake Worth.

She is survived by her seven children: Barbara Lorenz (David), Robert D. Anderson, Jr.

(Tana), Richard Anderson (Lisa), Ronald Anderson (Suzanne), Beverly Woods (James),

Randall Anderson (Susan), Brenda Waugh (Mark); 27 grandchildren; 19 great-grandchildren;

brother Jimmy Woll. She was predeceased by her two-year-old daughter

Bonnie Sue Anderson in 1965, her sisters Ruth McFall, Betty Meade, Janie Clausen;

and her husband Bob (2015).

A Memorial Service will be held at Lake Osborne Presbyterian Church, Lake Worth,

Florida, on Saturday, April 30, 2022, at 11:00 am. A reception at the church will follow

the service.
