A Life Sketch
Today we say our earthly good-byes to a dear sweet daughter of God; our mother, sister, grandmother, great grandmother, neighbor and friend.
Mother’s sweet spirit began here on earth on a bitter cold day on the 4th of February 1910. Her father, Soren Carlos Anderson, and her mother, Hulda Amanda Peterson were living in a farming community in Southern Utah in a place called Deseret, in Millard County. Her parents and grandparents are all of Danish heritage and Allie’s mother and Aunt Annie spoke in their native tongue.
Mom smiled her famous smile when she talked about how her name came about. Mom said “her parents were on their way to church to have her named Annabelle, but at the last moment they changed their minds and named her Allie. She smiled and said, “I’m so glad they did.”
Mom was the first of five children. She had one sister and three brothers: Lena Peterson lives in Delta and Merlin Anderson lives in Oak City. She was preceded in death by two brothers, Carlos Isador Anderson and Amos Amber Anderson. Mom often commented on how much fun they had as children.
Mom was raised in a religious atmosphere by humble parents who were active in the church. She often told me that she was always told that she was loved and that her family was very close. “It was a wonderful life for a child to grow up in.
My mother said her parents always taught by example.
