Nels Christian Andersen, Jr., beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, entered into the presence of his Lord on January 18, 2019. He was preceded in death by his parents; his young daughter, Beverly; his wife, Mary; his brother, Robert Anderson; and his sisters, Doris Toth and Ruth Johnson.
Nels was born in Zimmerman on June 24, 1932, to Nels, Sr. and Emma (Nelson) Andersen. On June 2, 1956, he married Mary Wilson, a union that spanned nearly 55 years until Mary’s death in 2011. Together they were charter members of the Zimmerman Evangelical Free Church, where Nels remained active until 2014.
A life-long farmer at heart, Nels provided for his family through his employment as a welder at Hoffman Engineering in Anoka. Later in life, Nels and Mary were thrilled to enjoy nearly twenty years on a hobby farm adjacent to Nels’ boyhood home. Nels was a member of the Gideons International, drove for Meals on Wheels, and volunteered with the chaplain at the Sherburne County Jail.
A Celebration of Nels’ Life will take place on Wednesday, February 20, 2019, at the Refuge Church, Zimmerman, MN. Interment will be in Bellwood Cemetery, Zimmerman, MN.
