$2278.50Lola Ann Andrews was born on Valentine's Day, February 14, 1937 at Mrs. Saylor's maternity home in Underwood, North Dakota. She was the 6th of 9 children to Milton and Mary Johannes. Lola was raised on the family farm in North Dakota until she went off to college in Great Falls, Montana and became a teacher. She met and married her first husband Gerald Anderson (who was in the Air Force) and went on to have four children while traveling the world as a military wife.
As a Christian lady, Lola put God first in all that she did. Whether it be as a wife, mother, grandmother, friend or sister, she led by example and lived to serve Christ. Lola was an incredible cook who was known by many for her amazing skills in the kitchen but especially for her Kuchen and Cinnamon Rolls. She loved playing the piano, singing in church, baking, shopping and was a true fashionista.
In 1997 Lola was diagnosed with Parkinson's but she never let that stop her. She lived life to the fullest with her second husband Garnett Andrews living between their dream home on Whidbey Island, WA and spending the winters in Ahwatukee, AZ until he passed away in 2013.
On Sunday, October 18, 2020 Lola passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, after falling ill with pneumonia.
Lola is preceded in death by her husbands (Gerald Anderson & Garnett Andrews), her parents (Milton & Mary), 3 sisters (Eileen, Doris & Claudia) and 3 brothers (Maynard, Merl and Iver). She is survived by two brothers, (Terry & Lane), her children Connie Becker (Dwight), Dawn Anderson, Patricia Hampton (Guy) and Timothy Anderson (Kathleen), all 11 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
