Diana Ruth (Monigold) Anderson passed away surrounded by the love of her family.

Her children, Michael Anderson (Wendy), Kenny Anderson (Amber), James Anderson Jr. (Loretta), Joanna Anderson and Frank Anderson, have been asked to say goodbye to their beloved mother. Though she is no longer physically present, she leaves her love and legacy in the lives of her children, grandchildren and siblings.

She was preceded in death by her husband, James Anderson Sr., on July 3, 2004. The couple were married May 23, 1965.

She also was preceded in death by her parents, Clifford “Bud” and Naomi Ruth (Hawkins) Monigold; four brothers, Daniel, Richard, Fred and Scott Monigold; one sister, Dona Wade; and two grandchildren, Anthony Bertram and Alexis Anderson.

She is survived by her children; grandchildren, Cheyane Anderson, Cameron Anderson, William Anderson, Naomi (Travis) Ferrell, Tawny “Marley” Bertram, Christina (Daniel) Seidor, Michael (Jessica) Keefer, Steven (Diana) Elliott and Bernadette Scully; 11 great-grandchildren; siblings, Susan (Derald) Bertini, Penny Adkins, Jo Ann (John) Granat, Amy Dayton, Clark (Debbie) Monigold and John (Linda) Monigold; as well as several nieces, nephews and other extended family members.

The family wishes to thank the staff of Buckeye Hospice for their care and compassion.

It is the family’s belief that she is now reunited with her parents and siblings, once again enjoying the music they all loved to hear when the PoorBoys Express performed.

Per her wishes, no calling hours or services will be observed.

A celebration of life will be arranged at a later date at the family’s convenience.

Arrangements are in the care of the Kerr-Watson Funeral Home.
