Betty Jane Anderson
GRAND HAVEN, MI.-Betty Jane (Johnson) Anderson, of Grand Haven, passed away on 
August 15, 2019 at the age of 100.

She was born on November 21, 1918 in Lake Odessa, at the Johnson farm to 
Marjorie (Stevens) and Royal Charles "Sam" Johnson. Betty enjoyed growing up on 
the farm. There were always chores, but she especially enjoyed the work horses, 
trotters, and saddle horses.

Betty graduated from Lake Odessa High School in 1935 and Michigan State College 
in 1940 with a bachelor's degree in home economics. After graduation, she worked 
for the united States Department of Agriculture in the Farm Security 
Administration.

She met Chester "Chet" Anderson at Michigan State College. They were married on 
February 22, 1947 following Chet's return from service in World war II.

Her interest were sewing cooking, harness racing, traveling, and family 
gatherings. She was well known to neighbors and relatives for pies (Blueberry, 
apple, and pumpkin) and cookies. Betty was a long-time active member of the Tri-
Cities Historical Society and, with Chet, was a Co-Historian of the Year.

She is honored and remembered by her children, Bruce (Jill) Anderson of 
Whitefish Bay, WI, Randy Anderson of Lake Odessa, and Abigail "Abby" Anderson of 
Grand Haven.

Betty was preceded in death by her husband Chet; daughter, Marcia Anderson; son, 
David Anderson, and her five siblings.

A celebration of Betty's life will be held at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 4,
