Geneva Marie Anderson, age 87, passed away on Sunday, July 27, 2025 at her home in Jal, NM. She was born on July 21, 1938 in Colorado Springs, CO to Frank and Elizabeth (Hardwick) McKee.
Geneva married Gerald Anderson in Colorado Springs, CO on Aug 31, 1958 and they celebrated 60 years together before his death in 2019.
Geneva was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She was lovingly called “Gege” by her family. As a child, Geneva enjoyed ice skating. She was very proud that she was able to help raise her younger siblings. Geneva was very active with the Jal Church of Christ. She taught Sunday school, supported the joy bus ministry, was instrumental as a VBS teacher, a world bible school instructor and served in numerous other activities with the church. She spent numerous hours visiting and playing games with friends at the senior citizen center. She loved her friends there dearly. The impact she had on others as a mentor, teacher, cook, and friend cannot be calculated. She will be greatly missed.
