Charllette Marie Anderson

Char was born on August 17, 1936 at home at 3200 Blaisdell Ave South, Minneapolis. As a child Char attended Steward Memorial Presbyterian Church Sunday School and weekly Bible class. During this time the teachers encouraged the students to memorize Bible verses. Unbeknownst to her, the Lord was going to use those memorized verses later to bring her to salvation. Char had a half-brother, Larry, and a sister, Kathy. When she was 9 years old, her father Bill Hoover was tragically killed in an auto accident. After that her mother, Bert, and Char and Kathy moved a lot. In fact, in the 5th grade she attended 5 different schools. From time to time, the girls lived with various relatives. Just after her 13th birthday Char went to live with two uncles and one aunt. They were living on a farm in Hinckley, MN. These were learning years in many facets of her life. The family attended the First Lutheran Church. The summer she was 15, she attended a Bible camp where she made a decision to accept and follow Jesus Christ as Savior. This one decision was going to change the direction of her life. The verses that she had memorized as a child came back and played a big part in Char's salvation. Revelation 3:20 is the salvation verse she claimed. For a life verse, she chose II Timothy 2:12. In 1954 she graduated from high school. That fall she attended a Lutheran Bible school in Minneapolis. While attending this school, Char worked part time as a waitress in a café housed in a bowling alley owned by Christians. This brought into her life her best earthly friend and soon to be life partner, Harlan (Har) Anderson. Har and Char were joined in marriage on September 10, 1955 at Faith Baptist church in north Minneapolis. They remained members of Faith until 1967. Their first home was in Golden Valley. The Lord gave them two children, Mark in 1957 and Joy in 1959. In 1961 they bought a house and moved to Robbinsdale. They lived there for 55 years. The family became members of Fourth Baptist Church in 1970. In December of 2015, the Lord led them to move to a senior apartment building (Traditions) in Brooklyn Park. As a couple, Har and Char have had a unique, adventuresome, exciting and blessed life. Some of these blessings were serving hundreds of meals to young and old in their home. They visited over 26 countries. After retirement they worked with missionaries on various fields. For 15 years she co-worked with Har with the Missionary Van Ministry. Char enjoyed teaching ladies' Bible classes in a senior apartment building for 15 years. She had the opportunity again to teach God's Word weekly to ladies at their Traditions apartment building. Char has often said: "In my life I have made many bad decisions or choices. However, there are two choices that changed my life for now and eternity. 1. To accept and follow Jesus Christ 2. To choose God's best for my life's mate". Memorials can be sent to: Missionary Van Ministry c/o Berean Baptist Church 8825 West Broadway Brooklyn Park, MN 55445.
