Muriel M. Anderson, 64, died at the Riverview Hospital in Wisconsin Rapids, on Friday December 8, 2006. She was born in Rural Iowa on June 6, 1942, the daughter of Helen and the late Leonard Schulke. On June 2, 1962, she was united in marriage to Richard “Dick” Anderson. They made their home in Racine and were very active members of Atonement Lutheran Church.
Dick and Muriel enjoyed playing tennis, golf, bridge, and most of all spending time with their cherished friends. In 2001, the Andersons moved to their retirement home at Lake Arrowhead in Rome, Wisconsin and were members of Woodland Lutheran Church.
Muriel’s greatest love was for her family, whom she leaves behind to cherish her memory. Her beloved husband, Richard; their children Heather (Ed) Dyson of Port Washington, WI, Kurt (Lynn) Anderson of Lake Mills, WI; grandchildren Joshua and Samantha Marcsis, Brian Dyson, Nicholas and Jacob Anderson; her mother Helen Lehnhardt; her brothers Leroy Lehnhardt both of Monroe, WI, Galen (Connie) Lehnhardt of Newport News, VA. Her nieces, nephews, other relatives and many cherished friends further survive her. She was preceded in death by her fathers Leonard Schulke and Arlin Lehnhardt.
Her funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, December 12th, in Atonement Lutheran Church, 2915 Wright Ave., with Rev. Dr. Warren D. Williams officiating. Visitation will be in the funeral home on Monday from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. and in the Church on Tuesday from 9:30 a.m. until the time of the service. Private burial services will be held in West Lawn Memorial Park. In lieu of flowers the family has suggested memorials to the American Diabetes Association.
