Judith Ann (Kelley) Anderson

Anderson, Judith A., 65, January 11, 2010.  Arrangements by Bowers Funeral Home, Island Falls.
    Smyrna – Judith Ann (Kelley) Anderson, 65, went home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on January 11, 2010, with her loving family by her side. She was born January 26, 1944, in Oakfield, the daughter of Emerald and Ruby (Fowler) Kelley.
    She graduated from Oakfield High in 1962, attended Ricker College, then worked in Portland and Presque Isle for the Union Mutual Insurance Company. She worked at Southern Aroostook Community School for 23 years as the secretary to the superintendent, retiring in 2002. Judy married Joseph Harley Anderson on July 2, 1965. Judy and Joe enjoyed years of traveling with their 5th wheel camper, numerous cruises, a trip to Europe, building their dream home, and their special grandchildren who lived next door. The children loved to “help” Nana work in her flowers, wash her car and enjoyed the great snacks in her pantry. Nana’s help with children’s appointments and therapy will be greatly missed.
    She will be lovingly remembered by all who knew her, including her husband of 44 years, Joe; son, Alan and his wife, Pamela; son, Adam and his wife, Eliza and their children, Zak, Nick, Lilly, Savannah and Isaiah; mother, Ruby Kelley of Madigan Estates in Houlton; brother, James Kelley and his wife, Linda of FL; and very special sister, Jane and husband, Wayne Lenentine of Houlton; nieces and nephew.  She was predeceased by her father, Emerald Kelley in 2002; a son, Troy, at the age of 2, in 1971.
    To Jane Zimmerman and Terry Lyons of Hospice of Aroostook: we give our heartfelt thanks for their support and loving care. God bless you both.
