She was born Jan. 21, 1952 in Milwaukee, Wis., to James and Isabel Schelhorn. She grew up in Centerville, Wash., and graduated with honors from Goldendale High School in 1970. Following high school she worked for a period of time at the Mt. Adams Care Center as a certified nursing assistant. She married Kelvin Anderson on March 19, 1971 and spent the rest of her life raising her family in Klickitat. She served as the assistant postmaster at Wahkiacus until the closure of the post office there, and then worked for seven years at the Champion sawmill in Klickitat. She was active in union business there and had served on several committees. She spent her last several years at the Kerr-McGee tie processing plant in The Dalles supervising a night shift crew and remaining active in various committees until failing health necessitated a medical retirement. Her great sense of humor and vigorous work ethic set a strong example for others to follow wherever she went. Survivors include her husband Kelvin; daughters Beth and her husband Jerry King, Amy and her husband Kevin Dickenson; brother Andy Schelhorn and his wife Diane, sisters Rose Marie Peterson, Kathy and her husband Bill Mellow, and Teresa and her husband Ron Campbell.
