Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
Wanda May Anders, of Pierceton, passed away peacefully on Saturday, Feb. 14, 2026, at Parkview Regional Medical Center at the age of 80.
Born on Nov. 17, 1947, in Kosciusko County, she was the daughter of Frank and Hazel Elder Phillips.
After graduating from Pierceton High School in 1964, Wanda married Allan Anders on Aug. 8, 1964. Together, they created a warm and loving home. Wanda was the proud mother of her three children, Kathy, Kristie, and Kim. Her life was marked by her deep commitment to family, a trait she cherished and nurtured throughout her years.
In addition to her devotion to her family, Wanda had a variety of hobbies that she loved to share with those around her. She found joy in puzzles and was a fantastic cook. Her family’s favorites were her apple pie and ham salad. Her flower gardening was not just a hobby; it was a reflection of her character.
Wanda is survived by her husband of 61 years, Allan; children: Kathy Rude (Thomas), Kristie Jackson (John Parker) and Kim Allan Anders; her grandchildren: Lindsey Reid (Brad), Chase Jackson (Janelle), Coleman Rude (Mariah) and Bradley Anders; as well as her four great-grandchildren: Remington Reid, Grayson Reid, Lyla Rude and Tommie Rude, who all brought immense joy to her life. She was preceded in passing by her parents and brothers, Richard and Wayne Phillips.
