Warren Andrerson
After a long battle with Parkinson's Disease, Warren LeGrande Anderson passed away on Nov 9, 2003 at his home in Alpine. He was 78 years old.
He was born on Sept 4, 1925, the second of three sons born to Orlando N. Anderson and Agnes Mortensen in Salt Lake City. He grew up there and graduated from Granite High School in 1943.
He served in the Navy as a Radioman in the Admiralty Islands, South Pacific on board ship during World War II. He completed a mission in the Brazilian Mission for the LDS Church from 1949-1951. He attended the University of Missoula Montana School of Forestry, and then graduated with his Masters Degree in Geology from the University of Utah.
He courted Pricilla Leone Pace of Richfield, Utah during the summer season of 1951 at Yellowstone National Park where he was working as a Forest Ranger. They were married on June 9, 1952 in the Salt Lake Temple. In 1956 he took his bride and their 15 month old daughter to Bogata, Columbia, where he worked for Standard Oil. They returned stateside in 1961 with three more children.
In 1968, with two more children, the family of eight moved to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. For eight years Warren explored the Amazon and other regions of Brazil, for mineral deposits for U.S. Steel.
Next they moved to Johannesburg, South Africa for four years. The years 1979-1983 were spent in the U.S.A. and then another overseas adventure, this time with the U.N. in Aswan, Egypt. After four years, in the supremely hot location, they moved back to the U.S.A. with a brief season in Alaska.
Warren and Priscilla spent one last overseas jaunt in Karachi, Pakistan in 1987. They retired to Alpine in 1992, where Warren said "the air is clean, there are few people and I can go fishing."
After eleven years in Alpine, Warren succumbed to the chronic disease he had suffered from and was released to return to the presence of our Heavenly Father and those loved ones who had passed on.
He is survived by his wife Priscilla, their seven children: Lisa (Tim) Rasmussen, Wayne (Nancy) Anderson, Laura (Kevin) Batchelor, Bruce (Zoanne) Anderson, Heidi (Allen) Johnson, Dwight (Terri) Andrrson and Nevin (Stephanie) Anderson and 23 grandchildren.
Funeral Services were held on Saturday, November 15, 2003 in the Etna Ward Chapel. Interment was at the Freedom, Wyoming Cemetery.
Note, the cemetery is actually in Idaho.
