Ann Anderson

Eva Diane "Ann" Anderson, age 70 of Andrews, was called home to her Lord and Savior Friday, November 7, 2025. She was a native and lifelong resident of Cherokee County. Ann was a devoted wife to Pastor David Anderson of Calvary Baptist Church in Robbinsville. More so, she was devoted to serving the Lord and taking care of others, even when she didn't feel well herself. Ann demonstrated her kindness and Christian love to everyone she encountered. She relished in making others happy and enjoyed those who were a challenge. Sending cards for the sick or those who were down was one of the ways she showed her love. Ann was a role model and counselor to many. She took the time to listen to others and always responded with Godly wisdom, scripture, and a heartfelt prayer. She will be deeply missed by her family, whom she cherished.
She was the daughter of the late Clifford Henry and Nina Mae McDonald Killian. She was also preceded in death by a sister, Brenda Bettis; and a brother-in-law, J.B. Bettis. Her brother William Harold Killian followed her to Heaven on Saturday, November 8, 2025.
