Gloria J. (Schoff) Anderson

            Gloria J. Anderson, age 87, of Princeton, went home to be with her Savior on Wednesday, June 3, 2020 at Perry Memorial Hospital in Princeton. 

            Gloria was born on December 27, 1932 in Spring Valley the daughter of Elmer and June (Becknell) Schoff.  She was a 1950 graduate of Walnut High School and later married Myron Anderson on March 11, 1951 in Walnut.  He preceded her in death on March 3, 1997.  Gloria loved being a homemaker and working alongside her husband on the family farm. 

She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend.  She loved her family with a deep love.  She wanted to serve her Lord and was constantly reminded of His goodness and faithfulness.  Her desire was for all her children and grandchildren to come to know the Lord as their personal Savior.  She knew with her whole heart that this farewell was only a "so long" and not a goodbye.
