Mark E. Anderson, Age 81 of Shoreview, passed away after a short battle with cancer at home. He was surrounded by his daughter and son-in-law. Born in Fergus Falls, MN to Earl and Beatrice Anderson. Survived by his loving daughter Kim (Mike) Swenson of Shoreview, Nathan Anderson, sister Marsha (Roger) Brock of Clarkfield, MN and Steve (Jackie) Anderson of Fargo, ND and other relatives and friends. Preceded in death by his wife of 46 years Muriel Anderson (Opjorden), parents, brother, David, and twin sister Mary. Mark worked for American Fruit of 10 years, before moving with the family to Brainerd where he owed several grocery stores before moving back to the Twin Cities. He worked for Go Fresh for 30 years and Rainbow Foods for 20 years. He loved spending time at the family cabin. He loved to do anything outside either at home or the cabin, being with his daughter and son-in-law and teaching anyone around him, his tricks of the trade. A Memorial Service will be held Washburn-McReavy Shoreview Chapel, 515 Hwy 96 West, Shoreview, MN. A visitation will take place October 10th, 2025 from 5pm to 7pm.
