Jean D. (Mick) Anderson, 93, of Buckhannon, West Virginia, died Tuesday, May 28, 2024, at Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital in Weston.
She was born June 13, 1930, in Tennerton, West Virginia, daughter of the late Burl G. and Eileen P. Smallridge Mick.
After graduating from Buckhannon-Upshur High School, Class of 1948, she married Virgil E. Anderson on Sept. 20, 1948.
Although they were married in Buckhannon, they spent the first year of their marriage living in Detroit, Michigan.
After returning to Buckhannon, she ran Anderson Builder Supply, located beside the Colonial Theater on Main Street. After Builder Supply closed, she went to work at Samples Shoe Repair and later Garden Fresh Supermarket, followed by Moore Business Forms where she retired in 1990 after more than 21 years of service. She enjoyed attending services at Tallmansville Baptist Church before her physical health prevented her from doing so. A wonderful cook, she loved spending time with family, hosting family gatherings, cooking holiday dinners, and attending family reunions at Holly River State Park. Once her health began to decline, her daughter, Dolores, and son-in-law, Don, took extra good care of her. Shortly after her 90th birthday, she became a resident of Crestview Manor Healthcare Center in Jane Lew, West Virginia, where she looked forward to visits from family and friends, especially enjoying visits from children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and even their fur-babies.
She is survived by three children, Larry Michael Anderson and wife, Mary, of Buckhannon, Dolores Jean Mathew and husband, Don, of Weston, and David Lee Anderson and wife, Diane Rubinstein, of Bowie, Maryland; 10 grandchildren, Jason P.
