Helen Anderson Obituary

I have many wonderful memories spending time at the "Wildflower Ranch" with Uncle Lanny and Aunt Helen. They were special people! This picture is of her and her great great niece and nephew. She loved the babies! I will miss her

Helen was my Sister-in-law, married to my dearly departed brother. She was more like an actual sister to me & I deeply mourn the loss of a true friend & a beautiful soul. More than anyone I have ever known, she possessed an affinity with wildlife that could only be compared to Snow White herself. Living in Carlisle Canyon for decades, she amazingly developed relationships & was on a first name basis with generations of birds, foxes, mountain lions, raccoons & other wildlife that frequented Lanny & Helen's beloved rural property. One of my favorite memories was a camping trip I did with them where Helen (barefoot!!??!!) & I climbed to the top of Half Dome in Yosemite. We then visited the legendary ghost town of Bodie, where she had been involved when she was younger, in the restoration of that fascinating remnant of a bygone era. I will treasure our times together for the remainder of my time on this earthly realm.

...Helen could not have had a more loving, dedicated, and supportive caregiver in the toughest times, than her little sister, Nancy, who did everything in her power to protect, comfort and companion her. It is an honor to have known and loved both of these strong independent Norwegian women over the many years of our friendship. And now, my wonderful memories of Helen will have to take the place of her presence. `Thinking of her every single day.

I´m so sorry for your loss, Nancy. Helen was a rare and kind soul who showered love and kindness on all the living beings she crossed paths with along her journey through this life. She befriended the beauty of nature, created beauty in her many artistic projects, and was beautiful in the loving kindness she gave to her family, Lannys family, her friends, and her neighbors. She will always hold a beautiful and precious place in my heart

I miss you so much. I'm lost without you. We've been best friends forever and roommates for the last 13 years. Rest in peace. Love you.
Nancy
