Obituary For Dorthy C. Anderson
Dorthy C. Anderson, 108, of Eau Claire passed away on Sunday, November 5, 2023, at Dove Healthcare – South. Dorthy was born on February 22, 1915, to Christian and Sophie Hanson Anderson. Dorthy married Clayton Anderson on May 24, 1941. Together they were married for over 50 years.
Our Aunt Dor was full of love and wisdom for others. She was filled with stories and had the gift of remembering them and telling them. Her days were spent bringing joy to others. Dor had many talents. She was musically gifted, could play the piano very well, and sang in many choirs. She and Clayton were wonderful dancers. Ice skating was both exercise and fun for her. She taught her nieces how to skate backwards and they loved it. Dor was a gifted athlete and took part in some type of sport year-round. In spring and summer, she played tennis and golf, winning several city championships along the way. Dor was always watching sports on TV and followed all Wisconsin teams closely. Dorthy was a woman of deep faith and conviction. Her Bible was always near her as she read from it often. All her great nephews and nieces really enjoyed their visits with Great Aunt Dor and looked forward to spending time with her. We will all miss her in so many ways.
Dorthy is survived by her nephews, Jack (Jackie) Pederson, Charles (Nancy) Pederson, and Peter (Laura) Pederson; nieces, Marcia (Delwin) Sweeney, Shirley (Richard) Smith, and Elaine Pederson.
Dorthy was preceded in death by her husband, Clayton Anderson; brothers, Christian Pederson and Einar Pederson; sisters, Dagny Paulson and Louise Pederson; brother-in-law, Walter Paulson; sister-in-law, Leona Pederson and Myra Pederson; nieces, Sonja Turner and Katie Paulson.
