Ed Anderson, 79
December 16, 1941 ~ May 16, 2021
Edward Lee Anderson was born December 16, 1941, the eighth of eleven children to Maynard and Virgie (Engdahl) Anderson, in Nebraska City, Nebraska.
Ed was baptized February 28, 1943 at First Lutheran Church in Lincoln, Nebraska. He was also confirmed in this church. Ed was a member of First Evangelical Lutheran Church in Oakland, where he sang in the choir.
Ed spent his early childhood in Lincoln and moved to Blair, Nebraska at the age of 12. He graduated from Blair High School. He graduated from Dana College in 1965 and later received his Master's Degree in Guidance from UNO.
On August 12, 1967, Ed married Connie Lee Becker at the First Presbyterian Church in Waterloo, Nebraska. They were blessed with three children: Ted, Troy, and Tonya.
He taught history at Arlington High School for three years prior to coming to Oakland in the fall of 1967. In Oakland, he taught various junior high and high school classes as well as coached junior high volleyball. He officiated volleyball for many years. He retired from teaching in 1999.
Ed and Connie, along with son Ted and his wife Jeanette, owned and operated TJ's Hot Stuff Pizza for 12 years. He was a longtime member and the Past Grandmaster of Masons.
Ed and Connie enjoyed traveling to Branson, Missouri nearly every year as well as cruises and excursions to foreign countries. He loved building things in his workshop and was so very proud of the last home he designed and did a lot of the construction on. He had a workshop to be envied by many and when he could no longer use the tools, he was so pleased to see those go to the school.
Ed loved playing bridge, having coffee at Golden Oaks, and attending activities for his grandchildren; he was always ready to brag about their achievements to anyone who would listen. He was a man of many talents, from building houses and furniture to writing songs.
Ed had been in poor health for the last nine years, since spending a month at Mayo Hospital. He had done everything he could to ensure that Connie would be self-sufficient. He had even taught her to use some tools!
He passed away May 16, 2021, at his home in Oakland, Nebraska, at the age of 79 years.
He was preceded in death by his parents; father-in-law; stepfather-in-law; brothers: Bob, Bill and Joe; sisters: Lorraine, Carolee, Lois, Mary, and Deanna; grandson, Tyler.
Left to cherish his memory are his wife of 54 years, Connie; children: Ted (Jeanette) Anderson of Oakland, Troy (Dawn) Anderson of Northglenn, CO, Tonya (Jeremy) Hemmer of Fremont, NE; grandchildren: Nicholas (Cassidy), Spencer, Stacie (Kreyton Deger), and Carter; Auvrey, Ashlynn (Deven Minor), TayTay (Aris Branch), Zane, Cody Freeman, Oceon, Arya, and Cord; Mara and Chloe; great grandchildren: DeShon, Axton, Alli, and Greyson; brother, John (Betty) Anderson of Richmond, MN; sister, Lynn Clark of Alamo, TX; sister-in-law, Sarah Anderson of Blair; brother-in-law, David Bargren (Peggy) of Cherry Valley, IL; mother-in-law, Marie Sivertson of Waterloo; sister-in-law, Carol Cleek (Gerry Kern) of Omaha, NE; brother-in-law, Gary (Dana) Becker of Casper, WY; many nieces and nephews.
