ST. IGNATIUS — Our beloved mother, E. Irene Anderson, 82, passed away Friday, July 13th at the Millpond Assisted Living in St. Ignatius with her family by her side.
Irene was born to Delma (Whitehead) and William Boyce Lake on March 1, 1925 in Falloma, Oregon.
On January 19, 1944, Irene married her eternal companion, Lawrence Ray Anderson, in the Salt Lake City, Utah Temple for time and eternity. Together they raised 10 children on a dairy farm near St. Ignatius, which they owned and operated for many years and is still being run by their youngest son, Roy.
Irene was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She spent many of her years being involved with the Boy Scout Program, which she really enjoyed and was made Stake Scouting Director in Oct. 1967, where she served for nearly eight years. Throughout the years, she served in many Ward and Stake callings. Her whole heart was in serving the Lord, her family and others.
She also sewed many things for family and friends. She made hand quilted baby blankets for each of her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchild, never missing a single one - including the ones due to arrive before this year is over.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her stepfather Francis Moore, her husband Lawrence Anderson, her brother Orral Lake, her grandson Michael Anderson and Scott McCall, a great grandson Mason McCall, a daughter-in-law Glenda Anderson and a son-in-law Steven McCall.
She leaves behind 10 children Diana (George) Kopecky of Drexel, MO., Merlin (Janet) Anderson of Dillon, MT., Sharon McCall of Draper, UT., Dennis (Ginger) Anderson of Missoula, MT., Steven (Kristen) Anderson of Casa Grande, AZ., Jeniel (Michael) Bennefield of St. Ignatius, MT., Gloria (Tom) Haynes of Arlee, MT., Judith (Melvin) Murphy of West Branch, IA., Roy (Charlene) Anderson of St. Ignatius, MT. and LaRene (Rich) Kinkade of O'Fallon, IL.; her brothers Eldon and Bill Lake and sister Lillian Kosteleky; 60 grandchildren, 93 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great-granddaughter.
We would like to extend a special thanks to her many friends at the "Millpond", especially to her special friend Mary Hernandez, to Lake County Hospice and Ralph Foster of Foster and Durgeloh Funeral Home. Mom will be greatly missed by her family, friends and all whose lives she touched.
