Opal Anderson Obituary
She leaves behind her husband of 60 years Willie Anderson; son Jimmy Anderson; two grandchildren Trevor & Chase and two great grandchildren Teagan & Oliver.
Your hug meant the world
Nobody else held me so tight
or made me feel everything is going to be alright
No one's eyes shined so bright with love
As my mom, who is now high above in heaven
doing what she loved so much riding horses.

Opal was such a special person. Many of my best childhood memories are time spent with her riding!! She forgot more than most will know about dogs and horses. She always had a kind word for everyone no matter the level they participated. She loved Willy and Jimmy unconditionally. She was generous to a fault. She will be missed.

When I was a 20 something, Opal was already an amazing rider. She was someone to admire and try to be like her. Thank goodness for Trailriders Club! Many of us grew up there.

Opal and I were cousins as a young kid my memories are of her and my other cousin Marti Pope riding all over West Melbourne on our horses. She will be sorely missed.
