Stanley L. Anderson

Stanley L. Anderson, 84, of 105 Meadow Lane, Kersey, passed away Thursday, October 26, 2022, at Pinecrest Nursing Home, following a lengthy illness.

He was born July 31, 1938, in Toby, PA, son of the late Harry S. and Cora Meredith Anderson.  Stanley was a lifelong resident of the area and graduated from Kersey High School, Class of 1956.  He was a proud veteran of the United States Army as he was a part of the Reserves during his high school years, then served three years active duty, and then finished his career in 1963 after serving four more years in the Reserves. In 1961, Stan started his career at Sylvania as a maintenance mechanic where he was a dedicated employee for thirty-two years, retiring in 1993.

On February 4, 1961, in Queen of the World Church, Stanley married June Meyer, who survives.  They were blessed to share 61 years of marriage together.

Along with his loving wife, he is survived by his two sons: Rod Anderson (Amy Troha) of St. Marys and Todd Anderson (Julie Brennen) of Mill Hall, PA; his daughter, Tammy Wehler (Dale) of St. Marys; eight grandchildren: Janae Anderson, Randi Anderson, Erica LeBura (Jesse), Alex Anderson (Sara), Andrew Wehler, Eric Wehler, Kirstie Bennett (Caleb), and Jeffrey Wehler; three great-grandchildren: Gideon, Asher, and Banks; a sister, Maxine Hallgren (Dick) of Maryland; a sister-in-law, Joyce Anderson; and by many nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a grandson, Trey Anderson; his sister, Vernetta Rossi; and his brother, Ralph Anderson.

Stanley was a member of the Maria Lutheran Church.  Music was an important part of Stan’s life as he was a member of the “Stan and the Mam Trio”, “Stan Anderson’s Family Four”, and other local bands.  He called many square dances over the years.  He was an avid snowmobiler and loved camping. He cherished his time with his family and friends, especially when they gathered around a campfire to sing songs and carry on. His grandchildren will always remember him as the Papa who could fix anything.

Visitation will be held at the Lynch-Radkowski Funeral Home on Sunday, October 30, 2022 from 5:00 PM until 7:00 PM.
