Florence A. "Fooz" Anderson, 84, of Elkhart, died Friday, July 8, 2016 at Hubbard Hill Estates. Fooz was born on February 10, 1932 in Lowell, MI to Gerrit and Alice (Hirdes) Schreur. On February 20, 1953 she married Gordon J. Anderson. He survives. She is also survived by sons, Bruce M. Anderson (Debra), Erie. PA, and Mark B. Anderson (Marla), Goshen; Grandchildren Marcie, Kevin, Katie, Jonathan, Ellen, Samuel, and Grace; Great-Grandchildren, Aundrea, and Adelle; sisters, Jean Wilterink, Grand Rapids, MI and Gracia Veldman (James), Byron Center, MI. Fooz was preceded in death by a sister, Alfreda Small, and brothers, Gerald and Bill Schreur. Fooz grew up in a large loving family which prepared her for a life of giving to others. She was a loving, faithful wife and supportive mother and grandmother. She was a capable homemaker and excellent cook. She used her talent and resources to help others in need and was quick to reach out to neighbors, friends, relatives, and fellow church members. She valued the people God put in her life and worked to nurture relationships. She was a committed Bible Study Fellowship teaching leader for many years. She loved hymns and took great comfort in these even in her last month. Most important was her relationship with God through Jesus Christ in whom she found salvation. Early in life she committed to reading and studying the Bible and particularly enjoyed the Psalms. The grass withers and the flowers fall: But the word of God stands forever.
