Marilyn Anderson
Our beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Marilyn Anderson, passed away on April 4, 2009, due to a valiant battle with cancer at her son's home in Hardin.
Marilyn lived in Utah until her family moved to Montana in her high school years. Marilyn was married to Bob Meh-ling and later divorced. She married Carl Anderson and they were later sealed in the LDS Billings Temple. She lived in Shepherd until the time of her death. She was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She loved attending church and the temple. She loved to raise a garden each year and had a wonderful strawberry patch that supplied her family and friends with all the vegetables and all the strawberry jam. Marilyn enjoyed sewing and loved to create quilts that she gave away to her children and grandchildren. She was an elect lady in all aspects of her life.
Marilyn is survived by her husband Carl; her three children, Craig (Jennifer) Mehling, Hardin, Shari (Sam) Stone, Abu Dhabi, UAE, Jill (Brian) Payne, Centerville, Utah; stepson Tony (Bea) Anderson of Kalispell; 14 grandchildren, 15 reat-grandchildren; six step grand-children and eight step great-grandchildren; three sisters, Pat Eggerston, Provo, Utah, Barbara Frampton, Salt Lake City and Dixie Warren, Hardin.
She is preceded in death by her son Mike Mehling; parents Lee and Ivy Ferrell and sister Bernice.
We love you Grams
Getting ready to go to Grandma Montana's funeral
We drove to and from Montana (12hrs each way!) in a 12 passenger van with 6 adults, 2 babies, and a 8month pregnant woman! The pit stops consisted of the babies running around the gas station grabbing or squishing things on the shelves, and Grandpa following close behind buying them anything their little hearts desired (hence the pictures of Brooklyn eating a whole bag of marsh mellows!)
