Anderson, Anna Johansen
Anna Johansen Anderson died on March 21, 2005 at her son's home in American
Fork after a long and happy life. She was born on the family farm in Cardston,
Alberta, Canada on September 9, 1913 to Anna Nellie Nielsen and John Albert
Johansen. At the age of eight she was baptized a member of the LDS Church in
an irrigation canal on her beloved Canadian prairie. She remained a faithful
member of the church with a strong testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ
throughout her life. She married Harold Yates Anderson in July of 1942 in the
Manti Temple. Harold died in February 1996. Anna graduated from Brigham Young
University in 1941 with a degree in textiles. She taught home economics at
high schools from Salt Lake City to Richfield and enjoyed years of employment
with McCalls doing pattern demonstrations. Mom also had a passion for petit
point. The gifts of her hands will be treasured for generations to come. She
received her favorite calling in the church at the age of 65 when she was
called to be the Stake Young Women's President. She served faithfully in all
the church auxiliaries and enjoyed her years as a temple worker in the Provo
Temple. Her love and concern while mentoring and nurturing a long succession
of nieces and nephews attending Brigham Young University has been repaid by
countless acts of kindness by the cousins during these last years of her life.
For their love and compassion we are truly grateful. She is survived by her
son, Wayne Anderson (Beth) of American Fork and daughter, Barbara (Jon)
Parsons of Mechanicsville, Virginia. She enjoyed a sweet association with her
eight surviving grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren. She is survived
by one sister, Verl Lambert of Provo. Several generations of nieces and
nephews also survive her; each assured by mom's actions that they were Aunt
Anna's favorite! She was preceded in death by her husband, Harold Yates
Anderson; a grandson, John Anderson; a great-granddaughter, Tennille Smith;
three brothers: John V.; Swen O.; and Ray Johansen and three sisters: Donna
Meldrum; Mabel Palmer; and Nellie Pratt. A viewing and family visitation will
