Sharon Marie Anderson

Sharon Anderson of Rock Creek, passed away on Friday, January 9, 2015 at Burnett Medical Center at the age of 70.

Sharon Marie Anderson was born December 13, 1944 to Lloyd and Julia (Kluk) Orvis. She was their only daughter. On April 13, 1962 she married Larry Anderson, the love of her life and soul mate. They have a daughter named Jody.

Sharon was a very caring and kind person. As soon as you met her you felt you had been friends for a long time. Friends and family were always thought of.

Sharon had attended Anoka Tech to be a Dietician and became a Dietician at the Rush City Hospital. Some of her other jobs were: The Coffee Cup in Rush City, Christenson's Bakery in Pine City, General Fab, Schafer Electronics, Plastech Corp, dispatcher at Pine County Sheriff's Office and recently Made Of MORA and Larry Trucking.

Sharon enjoyed going on semi runs with Larry and Hilda their dog and who was her companion. She learned to navigate a map well for their trips. She worked with her daughter Jody and her son-in-law Mike at Made Of MORA every week and greeted customers with a big hello and a smile.

Sharon loved the outdoors and enjoyed many adventures with Larry: camping, fishing, smelting, canoeing, snowshoeing, deer hunting, and learning to use the tractor. Maybe her best times were at the cabin and enjoying all the friends and deer hunting party around the fire ring with a feast. There were also numerous vacation trips to explore many states.

Her granddaughters Ashley and Christina were spoiled very much as they grew up and they made her so proud when they graduated from college.

Over the years she made hundreds of decorated cakes for birthdays, special occasions and events in the area. For a while she had taught cake decorating too.

Sharon is survived by husband Larry; mother Julia Hermann; daughter Jody (Michael) Anderson of Mora; grandchildren Christina Mosher of Minneapolis, Ashley (Mitch) Sheeren of Spring, TX, Aleathea Anderson of Mora, Alison (Jeff) Holland of Mora; great-grandchildren Zofia, Evalynn, Maura and many relatives and friends.
