Obituary of Anderson Eva Patricia

Patricia Eva Anderson passed away suddenly at her home on the family farm on December 26, 2016. She was born in the Stettler Hospital on August 17, 1935. She was 2 months premature, so was a fighter from the word go. Pat married Harvey Anderson on January 15, 1953 and together they started their purebred Charolais herd. They continued farming until Harvey’s passing on October 9, 1993. Pat was very involved in the community, with the Union Hall Ladies and the United Church Women. She ran her own ceramics shop in Erskine. Pat made and decorated wedding and birthday cakes and every kind of cake in between. She loved nothing better than watching her many beautiful flowers bloom every year in her garden. Her greatest love was for her seven grandchildren. Many hockey, volleyball, basketball and baseball games were watched and she loved every minute of them.
