Jeanne Beverly Anderson

JEANNE BEVERLY ANDERSON April 15, 1931 - March 12, 2025 Jeanne Beverly (Steger) Anderson, 93, passed away peacefully in Arden Hills on March 12, 2025. She was preceded in death by her husband of 70 years, Robert Anderson, her beloved daughters, Teresa Leitner and Julie Sederberg, and son-in-law John Leitner. Jeanne is survived by sons, Robert and Joel (Stefanie), daughter-in-law, Joyce Leitner, son-in-law, Dave Sederberg, grandchildren, Tracy (Troy), Amelia, Joseph (Caitlin), Alex, Arya, John, Johnny (Claire), Tim (Ruth), Davy, great-grandchildren Nick (Alysa), Alexis, Abraham, Ingrid, Eleanor, Jackson, great-great-grandchildren, Asher, Ivy, and special cousin, Bonnie and her daughter, Natalie. Jeanne (Nana) was a devoted, loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend. Everyone loved her baking, cooking and hosting. The grandkids remember waking up to the smell of fresh bread, sizzling bacon, eggs and sweets of all kinds. She was known for homemade candy and gourmet meals. Jeanne was an avid reader, and we joke her favorite book was Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking. There was never a recipe she wouldn't tackle. In her youth, Jeanne was a dancer and taught dance. Her granddaughter, Amelia, and great-granddaughter, Eleanor, are following in her dancing footsteps. Jeanne's fondness for dance, theater and music continued throughout her life. Jeanne loved her family, cats, traveling and always looking her best. Her hair was perfect and her nails always her favorite shade of blue. For much of their married life, Jeanne, Bob and family lived in St. Paul and Roseville. Life changed in 1975 when they made the decision to move to their cabin on Big Sandy Lake in McGregor, which they had built with the help of family and friends. Jeanne left her career at Sperry Univac and began small town living. She got to know many people selling Avon and later working at Holy Family Catholic Church. She had fun with the women's golf league at Savanna Golf Course, the Red Hat Ladies Club, and especially entertaining at the lake. Jeanne and Bob were married 70 years and together they loved to talk about how they met and courted, their "gang", the cabin in Canada, travels and of course their wonderful family and friends. Now they are reunited, and tales of their life continue to be shared by the family. Mass of Christian Burial will be on April 15th, 2025 (Jeanne's 94th birthday) at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, 835 2nd Avenue NW, New Brighton, MN 55112 at 11:00 AM. Visitation will be one hour prior and lunch will be served after the service with burial to follow at St. John the Baptist Catholic Cemetery. Please join us to celebrate Jeanne's life and legacy.
