Elizabeth Lafahn Martin Anderson, 94, was born Sept 28, 1923 to Sarah and Stanley Martin in Lockport, N.Y. She passed away Jan. 18, 2018 in Chandler, Ariz.
A graveside Service will be at 1 p.m. on April 27 at the Fort Sill Veterans Memorial Cemetery, followed by a celebration of life in Lawton, at Fairfield Inn & Suites 201 SE 7th Street.
Known as Betty or Betty Boop by some, she lived a long and interesting life. Betty worked at many jobs in her life but was most proud of working as an airplane inspector at Curtis-Wright during the war. In her later years she worked at the Dairy X in Cache, where she made many lifelong friends. Betty and her husband John moved from New York state to Oklahoma in the 60s and loved fishing and camping.
They spent the last 15 years working as campground hosts in Pennsylvania and Maine: a job they loved and spoke of regularly. Betty was an outgoing and vivacious woman who had lots of friends. She loved to knit, crochet, paint and see Broadway shows. Betty was a past matron of Eastern Star and supported her husband as a 32nd degree Mason and Shriner.
Betty is survived by her children: John (Frank) S. Anderson, Albuquerque, N.M.; Paul (Sheila) B. Anderson, Yukon; Gaynell (Scott) R. Melton, Queen Creek, Ariz.; Pamela S. Wittke, Salt Lake City, Utah.; John Anderson, Cheektowaga, N.Y., 16 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.
Betty was preceded in death by her husband, John (Andy) Paul Anderson.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the American Cancer Society or Alzheimer Association.
The family wishes to extend their gratitude to LaLaine and Bong Gianbona of Holy Name Assisted Living for seven years of their loving care for our mother. They were gifts from heaven to mom and our family. Also thanks to Shanti Hospice for support in the final days.
