“Sister Anderson”, ultimately retired and got baptized as a Jehovah Witness on June 24, 1977 at the Natick Assembly Hall in Natick, MA.  She strongly embraced the “Truth”, as her secular activities gravitated toward her spiritual activities.  She advocated her love for Jehovah God by regularly attending Kingdom Hall meetings, engaging in preaching activity, pioneering work in field service and personal bible studies. Being a Matriarch she was a “Giant” in both the secular world and spiritual world. She was loved by many.
