Marilyn was forever the busy body. She and Steve opened the Cafe in Dunning that Marilyn ran while taking care of two wild boys! Later Marilyn began as the local mail carrier for 30 plus years. In addition she served as village clerk for 30 years. Marilyn being Marilyn could not rest easy with that she was also very committed to volunteering for things such as the VFW, cemetery care, there was never a person laid to rest that went without flowers on Memorial Day. If ever you met her you were forever her friend. She had a heart of pure gold. If you were to drive past the Anderson home you could find Marilyn hanging clothes on the line and tending her flowers, that were always stunning!! But you had better have time for a Pepsi and some conversation if you stopped. The greatest passion in her life were her 5 grandchildren. Kale, Riggin, Ridge, Kutter and Grace were the center of her world. They will forever remember her last words whenever they left her home “Love you Kid.” Marilyn is survived by her husband Steve Anderson of Dunning, sons Corey (Tiffany) Anderson of Monona, IA and Kevin (Jody) Anderson of Dunning, 5 grandchildren, siblings, Margaret (Harold) Thompson of Alliance, Patty Rae (Darrell) Andersen of Halsey, Johna Eaton of Gretna, NE and John (Karen) Seeley of Halsey.
