Graveside service: 10 a.m. Tuesday, March 4, in Moore Memorial Gardens in Arlington. Visitation: 5 to 7 p.m. Monday, March 3, at Lucas Funeral Home in Hurst.

Pipeline, Hurst, Texas 76053; Community Hospice of Texas, 6100 Western Place, Suite 105, Fort Worth, Texas 76107; or charity of your choice. Edna was born April 15, 1915, in Tarrant County to George Preston Reeves and Nora Austin Reeves. She graduated from Texas Wesleyan University with a degree in elementary education. She taught for years in Birdville and H-E-B schools. For 49-plus years, Edna and her husband, Reginald W. Anderson, shared a committed life in service to their faith, their families and their community. They traveled the world together, but always returned to Hurst where they were pioneers in the development of the community. Edna's greatest joy was giving to others. Her generosity has benefited many organizations, foundations and charities in addition to her lifelong church that began as Isham's Chapel, the forerunner to First United Methodist Church of Hurst. She was preceded in death by her husband, Reginald; three sisters; and five brothers. Survivors: Nephews, Dr. Preston Reeves, Elmo Reeves Jr., Phillip Reeves; nieces, Georgia Duncan, Mary Ruth Ellis, Suzanne Gillock and Nancy Corn; as well as other special family members and friends, including her longtime, devoted friend, Bobbie Roberts. Bobbie and her wonderful family made sure that Edna had the very best of care and was always comfortable in the last years and days of her life. We will miss our Aunt Edna but her loving ways and smile will always remain in our hearts.

What a remarkable woman. My memories go back to childhood. We fished with she and Reg and I caught my first fish with him, but I got so excited that I jerked my pole so hard that the fish landed in my sisters mouth. Tracye Baldwin McNulty

Edna Anderson was a devoted alumna and great friend of Texas Wesleyan University. In November, she was on campus to take part in the groundbreaking for the new Central Texas Conference Service Center. Her generous gift to the University will name a major part in this building for Rev. Dr. Sidney Roberts. We will miss her enthusiasm for "TWC," her kind words, her smile, and all of the joy she brought us.

As soon as God created Edna Anderson, the Good Lord broke the mold! A more generous, thoughtful, and caring soul I have never known. Many will miss her greatly. May we find inspiration in her life–long example of generosity and hospitality!

Mrs. Anderson was one of my favorite teachers! Had her in 4th grade at Richland Elementary, and got to see her again by chance at a friend's shower years later. Always will have a place for her in my heart and memory.
