From Ryan Funeral Home obituary, Nevada, Story County, Iowa:

Lola Anderson
December 29, 1929 - November 20, 2018
From: Nevada, IA

Lola Mae Anderson, age 88, of Nevada, passed peacefully Tuesday, November 20, 2018, with her family by her side, reuniting her with Marley, her beloved husband of 62 years.

Lola was born on December 29, 1929, in Story County, Iowa, to Ward and Gladys (Osmundson) Tjelmeland. Lola was united in marriage to Marley Anderson on December 3, 1949, in Roland, Iowa. She was a lifelong resident of Story County where she devoted her life to raising their six children. Lola was an active member of Memorial Lutheran Church and the community and served on many various committees and groups including Martha Circle, Care Groups, Sunday School teacher, Bulletin Committee, 4-H, youth soccer coach, American Legion Women’s Auxiliary, 500 Club and various bridge clubs.

Her faith and her family were foremost in Lola’s life. She relished a home full of family and friends, where a plate full of her famous Kringla was being passed around, and rocking a child or two in her lap while she sang them a song. Lola Mae- devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend- you will be missed and forever loved. A large piece of your faith, love, and devotion will remain and live on in the lives you touched.

Lola is survived by her six children, Rhonda (Dale) Thompson of Ephrata, PA, Shelley Ludeman of Nevada, IA, Robin (Jack) Robertson of Prior Lake, MN, Brett Anderson of Nevada, IA, Signa (Mark) Morgan of Cincinnati, OH, and Bryce Anderson (Amy Reschly) of Jefferson, GA; 16 grandchildren; 18 great grandchildren with two additional blessings expected soon; a brother, Gordan (Susan) Tjelmeland of Clive, IA; and numerous nieces, nephews, and other extended family members.

She was preceded in death by her husband; parents; a son-in-law, LaVern Ludeman; seven brothers, Harold, Leo, Wallace, Wayne, Gary, Joel, and Keith Tjelmeland; and a sister, Delores Campbell.

Funeral services will be held at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, November 24, 2018, at Memorial Lutheran Church in Nevada, with Pastor Myron Herzberg officiating. Visitation will be at the church on Friday from 5-7 p.m. Burial will be in the Roland Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorials in Lola’s name may be directed to the family. Ryan Funeral Home of Nevada has been entrusted with the care of Lola and her family.
