"Andy" Anderson, a longtime member of the B7 Ward, passed away on
Monday, August 29, 2016 at the age of 104. Andy was born March 5, 1912 in
Oasis, Utah to Peter M. and Tora Jensen Anderson; grew up on a farm and
graduated from Hinckley High School. He
left the farm behind to move to California where he began his working life doing odd jobs and where he
met June Barg on a blind date which lasted for 69 years.
From 1933 to
1946, Andy worked for Standard Oil Company then joined the Marine Corps,
serving three three years in the South Pacific. After his service, he and June
ran their own gas station in Malibu, CA for seven years. They contemplated
retirement at this time, but soon found out there was more month than money so
decided to try their hands at real estate.
This new field kept them happily engaged for the next 21years.
Andy was a member
of the Malibu Chamber of Commerce, Lions Club, American Legion and President of
the Malibu Board of Realtors.
Andy and June
retired to Oceanside, CA where they spent 13 happy years golfing and enjoying
the San Diego area. In 1989, when California began to feel too crowded, they
moved to St. George, Utah. They loved St. George and became active with The ICL
at Dixie College and he joined the St. George Rotary Club where he found
friendship and service opportunities for nearly a decade. They also enjoyed local
cultural activities and golfing at the Bloomington Country Club.
June passed several years ago. Andy is survived by his nieces and nephews throughout the United States.
Rest in peace, dear Brother Andy.
