Dennis "Denny" Anderson's Obituary
Dennis "Denny" Anderson, age 80, died Tuesday, March 1, 2016, at his home in Cameron, Mo. Visitation is Saturday, March 12, 2016, from 1 to 3 p.m., at the Calvary Methodist Church in Stratford, Iowa, with private family burial to follow at Vegors Cemetery.
Dennis Wilbur Anderson was born January 20, 1938, in Paton, Ia., the son of Wilbur and Hazel (Thomsen) Anderson. He grew up on a farm near Paton and graduated from the Paton High School. He married Carol (Houdeshell) on June 25, 1954. They had 5 children. As a family, they lived in many towns in central Iowa and Jackson, MN. The family has many fond memories of tent camping and boating.
Upon retirement, Denny and Carol sold their home in Minnesota and
most of their possessions and purchased a motor home to tour the country. They loved traveling and eventually made a permanent home in Wellton, AZ., to enjoy the warm weather and abundant sunshine. Denny loved to golf, drive his jeep on desert runs, and watch the Iowa State Cyclones play basketball and football. In November of 2014, they moved from Arizona to Cameron, Mo., to be closer to their family.
Denny is survived by his wife of 62 years, Carol Anderson; children-Mike (Sheryl) Anderson of Cameron, Mo.; Sheree (Marlin) Bergman of Ankeny, Iowa; Alan (Sandy) Anderson of Cole Camp, Mo.; and Lori (Curtis) Petersen of Waverly, MN.; 10 grandchildren-Brandy Whalen (Sean) of Denver, Co., Seth Anderson of Kansas City, Mo.; Ryan Bergmand of Ames, Ia.; Adam Bergman (Cynthia) of Houston, Tx; Joshua Anderson of Dewitt, Ia; Andrea Lawson (Jay) of Dewitt, Ia; April Robb (Chris) of Sweet Springs, Mo.; Aaron Storey of Cole Camp, Mo.; Olivia Peterson (Steve) of Delano, MN; and Dana Sorensen (Travis) of Hutchinson, MN; 18 great-grandchildren; and sisters-Donna Light of Fort Dodge, Ia., and Karen Meyer (Robert) of Rochester, Mn.
