Celebrating the life of Vanessa Latrice Anderson, age 31 and unborn daughter “Dior” (due to be born on October 18, 2021).

The second youngest of 12 children, Vanessa was born in Chicago, IL on September 2, 1990 to Alfred D. Clemons and Edna Anderson. She was a graduate of JI Case High School. Vanessa had been employed by various companies over the years all the while working on entrepreneurship. She was full of so many ideas and goals to make her dream a reality and worked toward them faithfully.

Vanessa always loved being the center of attention. She was a glamorous fashionista, and expressed that through her attire any chance she was able to dress for a special occasion. Vanessa was always living life to the fullest, taking advantage of every opportunity when given. Vanessa enjoyed every  family get together, we all knew she would be the first to turn up at our gatherings. We could always count on Vanessa for a sincere laugh or many.  Her over-the-top extra personality was certainly contagious which we all loved and adored. We all shared an unconditional love only our family understood. Unexpectedly, having our memories cut short with Vanessa & Dior’s passing, which we are certain would of been full of so many memorable moments.

Had Dior been fortunate to live, there is no doubt , she would of shared some of her mom’s free spirited, loving, caring and outgoing personality. Also sharing her mom’s beautiful features.

Surviving are Vanessa & Dior’s heart-broken immediate family–  unfortunately having to endure the loss of them both, Lanyah Anderson (daughter/sister) age 13 and Ja’vah Anderson (daughter/sister) age 12; loving mother/grandmother, Edna Anderson; beloved siblings/Aunties & Uncle’s, Alfred Anderson, Evelyn Anderson, Charlie Anderson, Natasha Anderson, Angela Hampton, Lashunda Anderson, Carren Hampton, Alicia Anderson and Shanita Hampton; a plethora of nieces, nephews, in addition to a host of relatives and friends.

Vanessa & baby Dior were greeted in Heaven by her father/grandfather, Alfred D. Clemons (2019); brothers/uncles, Allen Anderson (2009) and DeMarcus Anderson (2020).

Homegoing services celebrating Vanessa & Dior’s life will be held in Draeger-Langendorf Funeral Home on Monday, October 18, 2021 at 12:00 noon with Rev. Willie Scott officiating.

Testimonials

December 1, 2023

My siblings and I recently had the unfortunate experience of having to plan a funeral for our beloved mother – Juana Munoz. During this difficult time, we were fortunate enough to come across a funeral home that truly went above and beyond what was expected. Their attention to detail and dedication to ensuring our comfort and safety throughout the entire process was truly remarkable. From the moment we stepped foot into the funeral home, we were greeted with warmth and compassion. The staff members, but specifically Mark was incredibly understanding and empathetic, making us feel at ease during such a challenging time. Mark took the time to listen to our needs and wishes, and his guidance and support were invaluable. One aspect that truly stood out was Mark’s meticulous attention to detail. He paid close attention to every aspect of the funeral arrangements, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. From the floral arrangements to the music selection, every detail was carefully considered and executed flawlessly. Mark even noticed that the temperature in the room was getting warm and promptly adjusted it to ensure our comfort. What impressed me the most was their commitment to our safety. Mark and his team took every precaution to ensure that our family and guests were protected throughout the entire process. From the funeral home to the cemetery, Mark made sure that all safety measures were in place, including providing hand sanitizers, and even arranging for additional staff members to assist with crowd control. Furthermore, Mark’s professionalism and organization was evident in every aspect of the funeral service. He coordinated seamlessly with the cemetery staff, ensuring a smooth transition from the funeral home to the final resting place. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence truly made a difference in our overall experience. In addition to their exceptional service, the funeral home also provided us with resources and support beyond the funeral itself. They offered grief counseling services and connected us with local support groups, which proved to be invaluable during our grieving process. Overall, we cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service provided by Mark, and broader, Draeger Langendorf team. Their attention to detail, commitment to our safety, and genuine compassion made a difficult time a little more bearable. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of funeral arrangements, as they truly go above and beyond to ensure that every detail is taken care of and that families are supported throughout . the entire process. – Epifanio and The Munoz Family
