Chandler, Arizona - Lola Ann Andrews was born on Valentine's Day, February 14, 1937 at Mrs. Saylor's maternity home in Underwood, ND. She was the 6thof 9 children to Milton and Mary Johannes. Lola was raised on the family farm in North Dakota until she went off to college in Great Falls, MT and became a teacher, married her first husband Gerald Anderson and went on to have four children while traveling the world as a military wife.

As a Christian lady, Lola put God first in all that she did. Whether it be as a wife, mother, grandmother, friend or sister, she led by example and lived to serve Christ. Lola was an incredible cook who was known by many for her amazing skills in the kitchen but especially for her Kuchen and Cinnamon Rolls. She loved playing the piano, singing in church, baking, shopping and was a true fashionista.

In 1997 Lola was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease but she never let that stop her. Even in the end, after 23 years of living with the crippling effects of PD, she fought hard to hang on for her family. On Sunday, October 18, 2020 Lola Ann Andrews passed away peacefully, after falling ill with pneumonia, and ran into the arms of Jesus. While she may have lost the fight, she certainly won the battle.

Lola is preceded in death by her husbands (Gerald Anderson & Garnett Andrews), her parents (Milton & Mary), 3 sisters (Eileen, Doris & Claudia) and 3 brothers (Maynard, Merl and Iver). She is survived by two brothers, (Terry & Lane), her children Connie Becker (Dwight), Dawn Anderson, Patricia Hampton (Guy) and Timothy Anderson (Kathleen), all 11 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
