With grateful hearts for a life well lived and a faith well shared, we announce the Celebration of Life of Ms. Cecelia Andree Anderson, to be held at 12:00 p.m. on Friday, January 30, 2026, at Grace Episcopal Church. Ms. Anderson was the beloved mother of Frank Anderson, Kaye Evans, and Jan Anderson, and the cherished sister of parishioner Jerald Edwards.
Ms. Anderson was a devoted servant of Grace, serving as both a member and an officer in many of the church's ministries. Her service included leadership and membership in the Vestry, the Order of the Daughters of the King, the Altar Guild, and Episcopal Church Women. She also served for many years as a Christian Youth Education teacher, faithfully shaping generations of young people through her commitment, faith, and love.
In recognition of her selfless dedication to the spiritual formation of our youth, Grace Episcopal Church dedicated one of its Sunday School classrooms in her honor, a lasting testament to her legacy of teaching, encouragement, and service.
