Lawrence Alvan Anderson

It is with sadness the Anderson family is sharing the passing of Lawrence Anderson in the early morning of April 17th, 2025 at the age of 84.  Lawrence was the youngest born to Christena and Melvin Anderson and spent most of his life on the family farms in Worsley Alberta.  

On April 20, 1963 Lawrence married the love of his life, Violet Anderson in Cardston, Alberta.  Together they built a beautiful life on their farm in Worsley where they raised their four beloved children, Wanda (John), Karl (Shannon), Lee (Becky) and Barb (Troy).

Lawrence’s legacy extends through his cherished grandchildren - Jessica (Luke), Nicole (Jason), Hunter (Mason), Owen, Mercedes, Kristi (Chris) and Riley (Cassie) and his great-grandchildren - Raynna, Jack, Tyren (Kylie), Hunter, Daxten and Kohen.  

Lawrence’s genuine interest to get to know people wherever he went and to exchange stories for hours with friends and family, will forever be remembered by all who knew him.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to the nurses, doctors and support staff of Units 22 and 23 of Grande Prairie Regional Hospital and most recently, those of Pearson Place, Hythe Alberta for the care and compassion they provided to our dad in the past few months.  Your kindness and dedication were and are truly appreciated.
