Jeanne Kay Anderson, the daughter of Lawrence and Verna (nee: Tamke) Anderson, was born in 1946. She was raised on the Anderson family farm, eight miles Southeast of Valley City, ND. She attended the same one room country schoolhouse, Drake School, as did her father. She and her family were active members of Trinity Lutheran Church. Jeanne graduated from Valley City High School in 1964. She received her BA Degree from Concordia College in 1968. Later that year she, Louise Nielsen, and Pat Rutherford headed for Racine, WI to begin their teaching careers. Jeanne loved her teaching profession and the students she taught. Retiring after thirty-five years, she kept busy volunteering and traveling. 

She is survived by her “Favorite” brother, Murray (Cindy) Anderson, of Wyndmere, ND and San Tan Valley, AZ; two much loved nieces, Kelsey, of Fargo, ND, and Kayla (Jason) Hoots, of Watertown, SD, and their children, Landon and Owen Hoots. It was always a summer treat for her to spend a couple of days in Fargo shopping, eating pizza, and going to a movie with Kelsey and Kayla.
