Jessica Alice White Anderson was born in Spirit Lake, Iowa on March 3, 1928. She attended The University of Arizona, graduating in 1951 with a degree in Spanish and Math. After graduation she moved to San Francisco for a year and then returned to Tucson to start a new job with the telephone company. While waiting to start her new job she took a temporary position in a restaurant on the U/A campus where she met her future husband, Arthur Anderson, Jr.. They were married 3 weeks later on November 7, 1952 and stayed married for 60 years. Two daughters resulted from that union. The family moved to various parts of the country due to the requirements of Art’s profession as a mechanical engineer including Ohio, New York and California. She and Art moved to Flagstaff, Arizona in the early 1980’s and ultimately retired to Page, Arizona.
