Beverly Ansorge

She was a beautiful person. She was the librarian at Emerson school and always had awesome ideas for books. Even later in life, she came into a store I was working at and remembered me. She will be missed.

My memory of Mrs. Anderson goes way back to the time they lived in Wild Rose. I am Judy Patterson McKenzie and I remember fondly that beautiful lady who was my friend Pam's mother. Her smile was most warming and she always had a minute to listen to the important thoughts of a child. God's Blessings to you all.

I loved visiting with Mrs. Anderson in our library at Emerson School. I remember that she liked Nixon, and even showed me a letter she received from him. She lived near and attended the church our family attended (St. Paul's) I remember riding my bike past her house on the way to or from Church, and seeing her in her garage with lots of stuff (and her daughter, Pam, whom I might have had a crush on :-)). I stopped to say hello, and she told me they were organizing for a garage sale. She asked me if there was anything I would like. I picked out a desk/table lamp. It was brass, but painted over. She said it didn't work. I said I'd fix it. I did. To this day, that lamp is on my desk, and I think of her every time I see it and use it. What a great person!

I remember "Mrs Anderson" fondly as my 4th grade teacher at Washington, and also as someone who was very nice to me when I was a pesky kid! My thoughts are with you, Pam and Mike, and to the rest of the family. Your mom was one of the good ones!

Mrs Anderson was my elementary school librarian at Emerson school. I thought she was so pretty and always had GREAT recommendations for books that suited me perfectly...even though I never would have chosen the book on my own. She turned me on to the "921" section of historic biographies and I had nearly read them all before leaving 6th grade. Thanks, Mrs. Ansorge, for your loving dedication to elementary school reading! You were the best ever.
