Within the Anderson family Gertrude Marie was lovingly known as "Gertie" all her life. She was a beautiful person. She is also survived locally by her double-first cousin, Opal Florence Anderson Yankie, Mrs. Yankie's daughter, Nancy, and granddaughter, Juliana, who were very close to her, and loved their Dear Aunt Gertie. (By cousin, Nancy Opal Yankie. Gertie was actually my First cousin since she was a double first cousin to a Mother. Due to the huge age difference, we called her and her siblings 'Aunt' and 'Uncle'.)
