James William Anderson, III, "Jim," slipped peacefully into Paradise at home with his wife, Marta, at his side after a sudden illness on June 20, 2022.
Jim was born October 3, 1947, in Wichita, Kansas to Rev. Bill and Dona Anderson. Jim spent his childhood on the Mission Field in the Philippine Islands. He returned to the states to complete his education. Jim graduated from Udall High School in Udall, Kansas, in 1966. He attended SMS in Springfield, where he met Marta Hammond. Jim and Marta were married in 1971. He earned his B.S. in Business from SMS in 1972. Jim was then hired into Kraft Foods Management and relocated to Tennessee, where his daughters, Brooke and Jenny, were born.
In 1980, Jim, Marta, and family returned to Springfield, where Jim pursued a successful career in Industrial Water Management. In 2016, Jim retired from Chemtron Corp. and enjoyed happy retirement years. Jim was in his element in a basketball gym or on a ballfield cheering for all of his "kiddos." He never missed an opportunity to encourage, coach, or love on any child that needed it. He especially loved time at Table Rock Lake with his girls, their families and friends.
Jim was a member of High Street Baptist Church. He is survived by his wife of 51 years, Marta; two daughters, Brooke Mathews and husband, Dan; Jenny Sledge and husband, Phillip; two granddaughters, Gabrielle and Grace Anne Mathews; one grandson, John Sledge; three siblings, Terry, Monty, and Don Anderson.
Burial Saturday, June 25, at Eastlawn Cemetery.
