Joe Anderson, 74, of Vine Grove, KY passed away Wednesday, January 8, 2025, at Baptist Health Hardin, Elizabethtown, KY.

He and his wife, Kathie, owned Coldwell Banker Success Realty for over twenty years. Joe was an avid golfer and fisherman who loved being outdoors. He also enjoyed a good game of Texas Holdem. Traveling was another one of his passions as he explored the country in his RV, but most of all he enjoyed being with his family. He always said the most important things in life were faith, family, and friends.
