Obituary

Dr. Howard C. Anderson, a longtime resident of Lincoln, passed away on Friday May 22, 2015 at St. Clara’s Manor in Lincoln.

Dr. Anderson was born in Chicago on May 29, 1934. His was the second child of Dr. Myrtle V. Anderson, and Dr. Truman O Anderson.

Dr. Anderson received his B.S. from Roosevelt University, and a Master’s and Ph.D. from Illinois State University. A longtime advocate of education, Dr. Anderson taught a variety of topics including Political Science, History, and English at Lincoln College for 30 years in Lincoln. He often measured his success on the accomplishments of those he took the most pride in, his students.

After retirement he became an Auxiliary Deputy for the Logan County Police, a position he loved almost as much as teaching where he would meet some of his closest life-long friends.

Lovingly known as the “wasp whisperer” by his family, he could gently escort any type of unwanted insect or animal (including wasps) outside to safety without being stung; his kind and gentle nature was felt by all.

He is survived by his daughter, Lynn (Chris) Carpenter; his granddaughter, Gabriella Carpenter; his brother, Truman O Anderson II M.D.; his nephew, Truman O. (Caroline) Anderson III; three nieces, Mary Beth Logas, Barbara (Richard) Hickey, and Amy Ellen (David) de Jong; and 11 grandnieces and grandnephews.

A memorial service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday May 30, 2015 at Fricke-Calvert-Schrader Funeral Home in Lincoln with Larry Crawford officiating. In Lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Safe Haven Hospice, 628 ½ Broadway, Lincoln IL 62656.
