Glee Lois Anderson of Oostburg, formerly of Delavan, passed away peacefully Oct. 27 2012 at the age of 91 surrounded by her beloved family. Glee by definition means joy and merriment and without question Glee embodied and provided 91 years of such joy to her family and friends.
She is survived by children, Sandra (Lawrence) Baltutis, Lawrence Parr, Cheri Parr and Brian (Barbara) Parr. Also survived by seven grandchildren; eight great grandchildren; sisters, Jean Penkalski, Joanne (Frank) Stemwell and Patricia Hodgson; brother Joseph (Betty) Golding; nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends.
Sons James Parr, Steven Parr and daughter, Cynthia Parr, preceded her in death.
With over nine decades of life, Glee had experienced all the highs and lows life could throw at a person and managed to get through a better and wiser person for it, calling herself a “tough ol’ bird.” To her family she was the sweetest of kind. Sending letters and holiday cards to all her grandchildren and great grandchildren, she was never at a loss to paint a colorful picture of life as she saw it through her window. Whether it was family matters, the Packers, or the weather, she’d let you know if it was “cold as the dickens” or if something was a “hum dinger.” Glee enjoyed being outdoors, gardening, and reading romance novels, making excellent soups and loved spending time with her kids.
Glee, you will be with us in spirit always and forever. We love you deeply, dearly, and endlessly. Rest in peace sweet Glee.
Per Glee’s request, a small private service has already been held.
The Eernisse Funeral Home, Port Washington is honored to have served the family. Online condolences may be left at www.eernissefuneralhome.com.
I will miss my favorite Auntie. She was the best, no matter what happened good or bad she would be there to either reprimand us or praise us. I will miss the pajama parties we had at the lake. I will miss her corned beef and cabbage. There is so much I will miss, but I still have all the great memories. My love goes to Sandy, Larry, Cheri, and Brian.
