Gene Ronnie Anderson of Chehalis, Wash., passed away at home surrounded by those closest to him June 15, 2016. He was 67 years old.
Gene was born to Donald and Louvena (Fowler) Anderson Nov. 25, 1948. He grew up in the Doty Pe Ell area and graduated from Pe Ell High School in 1967. Gene had a big heart and enjoyed life and all its little “critters.” He was known to feed any and all living things that wandered into his path including deer, cats and birds, which included his “crow boys” and of course the many generations of “coonies” that choose to reside under the back deck.
Gene was a diehard Seahawks and Mariners fan. Clam digging with family was also one of his life’s greatest joys. He was a ‘perfectionist,’ to say the least, taking extreme pride in all of his work, a trait he used daily working for the Washington State Department of Transportation, for 30 years as an engineer. In the end, family was his everything.
He leaves behind his beloved wife of 26 years, Teresa Anderson; daughter, Tamara Gould of Enid, Okla.; son, Trent Anderson of Abilene, Texas; daughter, Amanda Gardin of Chehalis, Wash.; three granddaughters; three grandsons; one great-granddaughter; and four siblings, two brothers and two sisters.
Special thanks to Cattermole Funeral Home in Winlock.
