Beverly Joan Anderson

Beverly Joan Anderson, age 74, would like you to know that her work here is done. She received her angel wings on December 16, 2015. This assignment came with a huge bonus, reuniting with the love of her life, Doug, family, and friends she has not seen in a long time. We want to let her know that she did a great job in life and love.

Bev was born March 4, 1941 to Archie and Adella Irish (Johnson). She grew up in Kalispell, Montana. She attended Flathead Valley High School, graduating in 1959. It was in high school that she met her forever love Douglas Anderson. Bev and Doug were married on July 29, 1960 in Kalispell where they started their beautiful life together.

Doug enlisted in the Air Force which took them on a few adventures outside of Montana. They settled in the Kent-Renton area of Washington to make a home for their three sons, Darwin, Dwayne, and Dean.

Bev’s devotion to her family was truly exceptional. Her family was her life and her hobby. She lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures; going from baseball field to baseball field, soccer and basketball, feeding three growing sons, traveling with Doug, playing cards, chatting with friends over lunch, bowling, and gardening. The love she had for her three sons and five grandchildren is not easily characterized. Bev had an uncanny ability to put others at ease through her jokes and laughter. She was headstrong and passionate which went perfectly with her fiery red hair.

Beverly was preceded in death by her husband Douglas D. Anderson, her parents, Archie and Adella Irish, grandparents, Inga and Albert Johnson, and several aunts and uncles and cousins.

She is survived by her sons, Darwin Anderson, Dwayne (Janet) Anderson, Dean (Michelle) Anderson, Grandchildren, Kaila Anderson, Dallas Anderson, Danielle Anderson, Claudia Anderson and Dalton Anderson and the devoted family dog, Tiny. She is also survived by her sister, Claudia Curd, several very special nieces, nephews, cousins, and family members. We will all remember her smile, her warmth and her energy. We will love and miss you as you dance away your days in heaven.
