Nona Joy (Jones) Anderson returned to her Creator, whom she loved and served during her 97 years on this earth, on Thursday, December 19, 2013 at the Lamoni Nursing and Rehab Center in Lamoni, Iowa. She was born December 30, 1915 to Harry and Josie Laura Tessie (Drown) Jones at Holden, Missouri.
At age 26, Nona’s heart was captured when she met Donald Elzy Anderson. They were married on June 14, 1941. They soon moved to Lamoni, Iowa where they were blessed with a growing family of four sons, Donald David, Richard Royal, Rodger Lowell, and Edward Oliver. She was a baptized member of the Decatur Restoration Branch of Jesus Christ in Decatur, Iowa.
In 1958, Nona and Donald planned and labored at every opportunity to build a new home for their lively, growing sons. Nona was a full time stay-at-home wife and mother. A hard worker, she spent many hours nurturing and playing with her children, along with sewing, quilting, gardening, and canning to keep them warm and fed. She was dedicated to daily exercise in a time when exercise was not touted as the popular health solution. Her morning rituals regularly included walking laps around the home’s interior hallways and feeding her dozens of beloved farm cats.
Nona and Donald remained committed in marriage for nearly 50 years, separated only by Donald’s death in 1990. Others preceding Nona in death were her parents; only sister Armajean Cole and husband Russel, grandson Zayne Edward Anderson, and daughters-in-law, Marilyn Anderson and Nancy Anderson.
