She was dedicated to her family, and worked alongside her husband, Andy, in several local business endeavors. Dee was a dearly loved member of South Hills Church of Christ in Helena, and had many interests, including sewing, gardening, and decorating wedding cakes.

Dee was a special friend and mentor to me. We spent many days together through the years. working together at Big Sky Christian Academy, teaching Sunday school , shopping at Goodwill and Good Sam’s, helping me learn to crochet, visiting people, helping with special events at church. She was always concerned about people and how she could help them. She will be greatly missed! My heart goes out to all the family. Love you all!

To the Anderson family and friends please accept my deepest condolences for the loss of your loved one Dee. During this difficult time hope and comfort comes from God’s Psalms 83:18 wonderful promise for the loved ones we have lost in death, to be fulfilled very soon by his son Jesus Christ a resurrection back to life for both the righteous and the unrighteous Acts 24:15, right here on a brand new Paradise Earth no more sickness pain or death Life Without End Revelation 21:1-5.

I remember attending church with Dee and her family in the 80’s! She was a sweet lady and sister in Christ! Love and prayers to her family and friends! Knowing Dee was a Christian lady makes it so much easier to let go in this life knowing we’ll see her again in heaven! In Christian love, Rita (Worsham) Foster
Janet McMillon says
God places special people in our lives and we are blessed beyond measure. This is how I felt when I met Dee in 1972 when we moved to Montana from Michigan. Throughout my years living in Montana, Dee was like a second mother. She and my mother, Liz McMillon, were best of friends. As I reminisce about the time we were able to spend with Dee and Andy it brings joy to my heart that we were blessed with wonderful Christian friends. God truly blessed my family with the love and friendship of Andy and Dee Anderson. Dad (Mac) and I send our love and lift the family in prayer for peace and comfort. May God’s love fill your hearts with peace and joy as you go through the ‘Celebration of Life’ for this wonderful mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Blessings to all.

Mary O'Dell says
I did not know Dee for very long but knowing her was a blessing. She was a beautiful lady who always made me feel welcome and always had encouraging words. Her hugs were special and I looked forward to them each Sunday . I will miss her. May you all find comfort in knowing she is in the presence of God and comfort in the memories you hold dear in your hearts.
Teresa Christison says
Sending our sympathy to your entire family. Dee was a beautiful lady that left an impression on me over the years during our Montana trips. She always had a smile on her face and kind words to share. Dee was an example to so many on being the hands and feet of Jesus to others. I know she spent a lot of her time helping and visiting those who needed to a bit of cheer in the day. A life well lived and now home with her savior.
Sending our love,
Mark, Teresa, Cade and Abby Christison
