February 9, 1928 ---- November 8, 2016

Gloria Hope (Fevold) Anderson, the daughter of Wilmer and Kathleen (Nesheim) Fevold, was born February 9, 1928, in Badger, Iowa. She was raised and educated in the area of her birth and graduated from Eagle Grove High School in 1946. She taught country school for two years and then received her 2 year degree from Waldorf College and taught in Humboldt for two years.

On June 3, 1950, Gloria was united in marriage with Alvin Anderson at the South Enes Lutheran Church in Vincent. They farmed southeast of Vincent for three years, north of Thor for eleven years and southwest of Eagle Grove for eleven years, retiring in 1986 and moved into Eagle Grove. In 1960, Gloria returned to teaching 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders at Vincent, Lela Howland and Lincoln schools. Gloria eventually received her B.A. in Elementary Education from Drake University and retired from teaching after 31 years but continued to substitute for another 10 years. Gloria was an active member of Evangelical Lutheran Church. Her greatest joy was kids – teaching them, reading to them, molding them!

Gloria passed away on Tuesday, November 8, 2016, at Trinity Regional Medical Center in Fort Dodge, at the age of 88 years. She was preceded in death by her parents and brother, Wilmer Fevold. Gloria is survived by her husband of 66 years, Alvin Anderson of Eagle Grove; son, Doug Anderson and wife Sue of Davenport; daughter, Kris Eng and husband David of College Station, PA; grandchildren: Cara Ayers and husband Chris and their twins Ryker and Zane, Eric Anderson and wife Susie and their children Tristan and Tehya, Matt Anderson, Grant Eng and Anders Eng; brothers, John Fevold and wife Julie of Gowrie and Dean Fevold and wife Karen of Bentonville, AR and sister-in-law, Margaret Fevold of Gowrie.

Visitation is Monday from 10:00 am until service time at the church. Memorials may be left to the discretion of the family or to Evangelical Lutheran Church Children's Library fund.
