DEERFIELD - Lois Jeanette Anderson, age 90, of Deerfield, Wis., passed away on Nov. 13, 2020. She was born in Madison on Oct. 27, 1930. Lois graduated from Deerfield High School. She was married to Leonard Anderson on Aug 12, 1951, and they were married for 51 years. Lois was the organist at the Deerfield Lutheran Church for 37 years and was a local seamstress. She will be remembered for her musical talents, particularly her yodeling. Lois was heavily involved in her local church community. She was an avid card player and could always be found playing bingo at the local festival. Lois loved spending time with her family and was always supporting her grandchildren by attending sporting events or horseshows. She loved making crafts and baking.

Lois is survived by her children, Steven (Karen) Anderson, Susan Egre, Sonja Dyreson (Al Pulvermacher); grandchildren, Kristina (Jason) Busse, Karl Anderson, Kristin (Marshall) Clark, Hannah Anderson, Jacob Anderson, Travis (Janelle) Dyreson, and Trevor Dyreson; great-grandchildren, Marit, Bergen and Kelda Clark and Devlyn and Sebastian Busse; and other extended family members. She was preceded in death by her parents, Emil and Mabel Thorstad; husband, Leonard Anderson; brother and sister-in-law, Howard and Loraine Thorstad; and brother and sister-in-law, Paul and Shirley Thorstad.

The family has chosen to delay the burial service for Lois to summer 2021. An additional announcement will be published later once the date for the service has been set.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

We were always in awe of Lois who possessed many talents. She just amazed us with her accordian playing and singing. She also was so gifted in her sewing skills and when she made Sonja a flower girl dress for our wedding, we were more than impressed how Sonja's dress matched Sandra's wedding dress so well without even seeing a picture of it!
We both offer our loving condolences for your loss. May God be with you all now and always!
