Priscilla Ruth Dietz Anderson, a resident of Matthews, NC; formerly of Grand View, WI and Silver Bay, MN went home to be with her Lord and Savior on August 4th, 2025.

Priscilla was born to Irma (nee Hagenkord) and John Dietz III in Wauwatosa, WI on September 1, 1932. Priscilla was raised in Wauwatosa and was a graduate of Wauwatosa High School and of Miss Browns Business College. In Wauwatosa, Priscilla developed a sisterhood of friends that she maintained a close contact with for her entire life. In the 1950's, Priscilla moved to the North Shore, starting a family in the earliest years of the city of Silver Bay, MN and in the 1980's moved to Grand View, WI with her husband Jack Anderson who preceded her in death, in 1995. Priscilla moved in 2004 to Matthews, NC, where she was able to spend time daily with family and new friends. Priscilla enjoyed outdoor activities, gardening and exercise as well as the quieter ones such as painting, sewing and reading. Priscilla's mission was to learn about God's word and to evangelize. Her skills as an excellent listener and counselor, were used in her career as a secretary to the Lake County Chemical Dependency Counselor and in leading groups of women together, in activity, friendship and relationship with the Lord, that was evident in every city she had lived.

Priscilla is survived by her children; Edward Lugeanbeal of Sedalia, CO, Richard (Cari) Lugeanbeal of Waverly, MN, George (Tami) Lugeanbeal of Jacksonville, FL, Priscilla (Tim) Fortner, Nevada, OH, and Rebecca Zazeski of Matthews, NC.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date, internment will be at the Drummond Cemetery, Drummond WI. In lieu of flowers the family requests memorial contributions be made to Southbrook Church of Weddington, NC
