Sheldon Anderson Obituary
Shel served in the Army and later dedicated 35 years of his life to Sears, Roebuck. After retiring, he continued working by cleaning stores at the Burnsville Center. Shel attended Phillips Primary School and South High School.
In his free time, Shel enjoyed playing softball, golfing, walking, and taking care of his car. He was a man of many interests and always found joy in the simple things in life.
Shel will be deeply missed by his surviving family members, including his spouse Nancy, children Chris and Michele, sister-in-law Nancy, daughter Janelle (Jeff), son Matthew (Guissel), son Andrew, daughter Jodi (Paul), as well as many others. He was preceded in death by his father Ralph Anderson, mother Carmelyte, brother Ron Anderson, and great nephew Aaron.
A memorial service to honor Shel's life will be held at a later date. The Cremation Society of Mn located on France Ave in Edina, Mn, is assisting the family with the funeral arrangements.
Shel will be remembered for his dedication to his family, his service in the military, his long career at Sears, and his passion for his hobbies. May he rest in peace.

I miss my Dad and have good memories of growing up with a Dad that was always there for our family. He taught us with discipline and love. He suffered much in the last 3 months and just knowing he doesn´t have to suffer anymore helps me get through each day. My love to Dad , Michele

I´m so thankful for sharing almost 57 years with my Shel. He was devoted to the family and always provided for us, loved gospel music and sports and loved walking whenever he could. I miss him and have many good memories of my Shel. Lovingly Nancy

Shel or Peck,
Great father with a passion to be close and guarded with family, he was very close to our family of 4, and mostly cared about that the most!!!!
I enjoyed watching Sunday NFL football on Sunday's after church, dressing up in the gear and playing one on one and bang and tackle football in the basement. Golfing was another passion we had together, with my Uncle, and my Dad's brother Ron and friends, studying the Bible together with family, working out together, talking NHL, and favorite player: Lou Nanny, another passion was his aggressiveness to be afraid of no man.
But now, he is with the King if Kings, Lord of Lords - JESUS!!!!
God Bless you Dad, and we will all see you one day again, for eternity!!!!

It´s not my first memory of Shel but my favorite. Our store manager and most of the staff had to attend a meeting at the district office. Shel was asked to be the store manager for the day. Dressed in suit and took over the store manager´s office. Needless to say the store ran very smoothly that day.
Shel was a respected manager of shipping and receiving who treated people with care.
