Erma Grace Anderson

After slightly more than 99 years, we emotionally announce that Erma Grace Anderson, on August 2, 2020  has completed her lengthy journey on earth and began her new life in heaven.  She left us while sleeping peacefully at her residence in Woodville, Texas.

Born in 1921, Erma lived an amazing and interesting life as a true Renaissance Woman.  She was a child of the Great Depression who persevered to gain a degree in watch and clock repair from the Houston Technical School, as well as a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education, Minor in Music, and  a Master’s in Education from Lamar University.  She was a long-time business owner of Jasper Jewelry, as well  a recognized educator in the Kirbyville School District.  She was also an amateur pilot, a great cook, and a lover of art and music.  She was a dedicated Christian and friend to countless numbers of people.  She will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts.

Erma was preceded in death by her parents Robert and Eula Anderson as well as her three brothers, Tommy, Robert and Elmer Anderson.  She leaves behind a sister-in-law Billie Anderson, an array of nieces, nephews, extended family members and dear friends who will miss her tremendously.

Erma specifically wanted to thank the management and staff of the Orchard Assisted Living in Woodville, TX, particularly the Paper Pusher, The Hoot and the Clean Freak who embraced her into their lives and became dedicated members of the Erma Grace Fan Club.  The family would also like to thank the Olive Branch Hospice for their dedication and devotion to Erma and the family members during her last days and a thank you to her dear friend Liz Weaver.

Erma will be buried at the Egypt Cemetery on August 3, 2020, at 4 pm.  In lieu of flowers, please donate to The Happiness Foundation, at hppt:// www.hfecuador.org/donate/ Condolences can be posted at www.shultzfuneralhomeofjasper.com or on Facebook at Shultz Funeral Home &Cremator
