She was born on January 2, 1933 to Carroll and Mary (Moran) Schultz. Lois attended schools in DeForest and graduated DeForest High School in 1950. She was united in marriage to Donald Anderson on March 3, 1951 at Burke Lutheran Church.
Throughout the years she worked at General Casualty Insurance Company, was a stay-at-home mom, and worked part time at Koffee Kup and Clack Corporation. Lois enjoyed socializing with the neighbors on the picnic table, camping, playing and watching horseshoes, traveling to Branson and Las Vegas, reading, and listening to Books on CD.
Lois is survived by her children, Rick Anderson, Mary (Scott) Fryk, Don “Butch” (Dawn) Anderson and Tracy (Chad) Risgaard; brother, Randy (Sara) Schultz; sister-in-law, Jeannette (Robert) Gehrke; 9 grandchildren; many great and great-great grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends.

During the last few weeks when she was struggling, she still kept her humor. To respect the wishes of Lois, there will be no funeral or memorial services. The family suggest memorial be made to DeForest Area Fire and EMS, 305 E Holum St, DeForest, WI 53532, or Cornerstone Community Center, 505 North Main St, DeForest, WI 53532, or a charity of your choice.
The family would like to thank SSM Health Hospice for their support and guidance.
Mom, thank you for more than 40 years of Sunday breakfast and the millions of cups of coffee you served us. We love you and will miss you and your favorite saying, “anyone want to run away”.
