Kristine Ann (Smith) Anderson, age 61, of Harrisburg, South Dakota, and formerly of Storm Lake and Alta, Iowa, passed away peacefully at her home on Thursday, April 30, 2015, in South Dakota.

Kristine (Kris), a daughter of Paul and Norma (Johnson) Smith, was born on April 2, 1954, in Storm Lake, Iowa.

In 1974, Kris married Jim Hildreth. They, subsequently, were blessed with two daughters, Sarah and Abigail (Abby). On May 31, 1996, she married Todd Anderson of Alta, becoming a step-mother to his children, Mollie and Justin.

A beautiful woman, Kris had an amazing array of talents. Nonetheless, she treasured spending time with her family above all else. Living life with grace and a positive outlook, she, always, put others’ needs before her own.
