Loretta S. Anderson

September 14, 1946 - March 23, 2022

Loretta Elizabeth (Shrode) Anderson was born on September 14, 1946, in Princeton, IN and was raised in Evansville, IN. When she left Indiana, she lived in Chattanooga, TN for several years and then in Birmingham, AL for the last 38 years of her life. She went to her heavenly home on March 23, 2022. She was preceded in death by her parents, Julia and Frederick Shrode, her sister Sylvia, and her two brothers Lawrence and Michael. She is survived by her loving and devoted husband of 52 years, Steve Anderson; her children Shane (Jody) Anderson, Christy (Jeremy Jones) Anderson, and Sharon (David) Fadule; and her grandchildren Liberty, Malachi, Hope, Isaac, and Jordan. She will be fondly remembered by so many neighbors, colleagues, and friends. Lori was a very kind, talented, and resourceful woman. She had a passion for her faith and shared it freely. She had many titles throughout her life including switchboard operator, cook and server, real estate agent, crafter, gardener, food service manager/chef, teacher of many things, and mom to her own kids and to many others when they needed her. Love was not a noun; it was a verb. She lived her love daily. She enjoyed cooking, reading, embroidery, volunteering, and spending time with her neighbors and friends. She was constantly looking for a worthy cause or someone she could help. She will be greatly missed. If you would like to make a donation in her memory, please consider helping Samaritan’s Purse, CBN, or your local animal shelter. Or perform an act of kindness in her honor. She would love that. A visitation will be held on Tuesday, March 29, 2022 from 12:00pm to 2:00pm with the funeral service following at Deerfoot Memorial Funeral Home in Trussville, AL with Reverend Ray Shackelford officiating. Interment will be at Alabama National Cemetery in Montevallo, AL at a later time. The family requests guests please wear masks while visiting and casual dress is acceptable.
