Norma Asenath (Sollom) Anderson, age 88, of Golden Valley, MN, formerly of Princeton, MN, died Thursday, May 16, 2013, at Freedom Pointe Assisted Living in Minnetonka, MN. Norma was born Feb 27, 1925, in Newfolden, MN, the daughter of Kittel and Hilda (Langlie) Sollom. She was preceded in death by her husband Harvey D. Anderson; siblings, Harvey Sollom, Arlyn Sollom and Marian Vatthauer. After graduating from Newfolden High School in 1941, and Aaker's Business College in Grand Forks, ND, she worked as a bookkeeper for two and a half years, then attended the Prairie Bible Institute at Three Hills, Alberta, Canada, for four years, graduating in 1949. She was accepted into The Evangelical Alliance Mission (TEAM) and assigned to Venezuela, arriving on the field in 1950. The mission placed her in Tovar, a small city in the Andes Mountains. She worked mostly with women and children in evangelistic work in Tovar and neighboring towns. Just one week before she left for her first furlough in 1954, some Free Church missionaries visited her station. In that group was a single fellow named Harvey Anderson from Lowry, MN. A courtship by correspondence developed. After seven and a half months, Harvey proposed and she accepted. She was united in marriage to Harvey Anderson on Mar 19, 1955, at the Evangelical Free Church in Thief River Falls, MN. Norma transferred from TEAM to the Free Church Mission and she and Harvey returned to Venezuela in May of 1955. During her 34 years of mission field after her marriage, Norma served as treasurer and bookkeeper for the Mission, the Bible Institute, and the Seminary at different times. During a furlough in 1960, Harvey and Norma's son Brent was born. In 1987 Norma acquired a daughter-in-law, Beckie Tuttle, a missionary daughter born in Venezuela. Harvey and Norma retired Jul 1, 1988, and lived in Princeton, MN, where they purchased their first home. During their missionary career they lived in forty different places. Most recently, Norma was very active in the Wyanett Evangelical Free Church. Norma is survived by her son Brent (Beckie) Anderson of Golden Valley; grandson Jonathan of Golden Valley; siblings, Verna (Clyde) Christensen of Thief River Falls, MN, Elwood Sollom of CA, Adrian (Sue) Sollom of CA, and Elvida (John) Kastelein of AZ; sister-in-law Belva Jean Sollom of AZ; along with many loving nieces, nephews, relatives, friends and many members of her extended missionary family.
