Jean Anderson

Thelma "Jean" Anderson was born in Vicksburg Ms 7/15/1933... the 5th of 5 girls ... all deceased except her siter Vera who has alzheimers. The sisters were all very close. Lucille, Josie, Vera, Edna and Jean Mamaw never goes by Thelma ----- only "JEAN". Jeans Mom and Dad were farmers...they were very very poor. Food to eat was scarce at times. The girls never had a Christmas Tree but my Mama told me they always had love. My Mom and Dad (Rothwell Anderson) married and my Mom was given a life of opportunity and love again. Christmas was always a beautiful time and food was always plenty. THANK GOD! Wanda was born July 14 1959 and Rothwell Jr which was nick named Rocky was born Oct 15, 1962. The family moved around about every 3 years and Rothwell and Jean provided a home of nuturing and love. They moved to Seoul Korea in 1974 where Rocky eventually.married his bride Namhui. Wanda married Charlie Angelos and they had 2 beautiful Children born from their love CJ was their first child and Melissa their second. Melissa is with us today and unfortunatley CJ was murdered on November 18 2006 and is now in the arms of his Mamaw. The loss of CJ at age 21 will remain burning in the hearts of his family and friends forever. Jeans son Rocky and Namhui have 2 beautiful sons Bobby and Matthew who are also here with us today. Jean is a loved "Mamaw" and a Great Grandma of Nevaeh and Christian. Jean lived with her children and grandchildren after the death of her husband in 1985. Her life was dedicated to her family. She always put them first. Jean is know to most as "Mamaw". She healed our hurts both physical and emotional and never asked for anything in return. She was selfless. She made us all feel so loved and she was funny too! In September 2008 Jean was diagnosed with the beginning stages of Ahzheimers. She was living with her daughter Wanda, her grandaughter Melissa, Melissa's boyfriend D'Juan Johsnon and her great grandson Baby Christian. Christian became the indescribably delicious joy of Jeans life, just as her grandchildren and own children always were. How lucky you all were to have Jean! From living to dying happened very quickly for Jean. In December the family could no longer take care of her on their own and the doctors reccomended a nurisng home. Wanda says "Mama beame very sick" Each time she saw her she was worst and worst. We really dont know the cause of Jeans death but we do know that God called her home last Friday night May the 8th. Jean was only 75 years old In just a few hours it was Mothers Day. Wanda and Rocky, who is in the Navy and was luckily on a training mission at Nearby Quantico at the time rushed to the hospital along with Melissa and D'Juan, and 4 friends of Melissa's...They cried and cried and stayed with Mamaw for hours before they kissed her goodbye.
