Fred Anderson

1937 - 2019

Cook Southland Funeral Chapel - Anderson(2019)

Mr. Frederick “Fred” D. Anderson, beloved husband of Mrs. Carole Anderson, passed away at St. Joseph’s Home - Carmel Hospice in Medicine Hat on Monday, July 1, 2019, at the age of 82 years. Fred was born on May 2, 1937 in Maple Creek, Saskatchewan. He was raised on the family farm where he learned the value of a hard day’s work. He attended the Somerset Country School, middle school in Maple Creek and graduated high school at Balfour Tech in Regina. While in Regina, Fred met his future wife, Carole and they were married on June 13, 1959 in which they recently celebrated their 60th anniversary! Fred worked for Toledo Scale Co. in Regina and was eventually transferred to Edmonton where he worked for a period of time. In 1968, Fred and Carole returned to his roots on the family farm in Maple Creek where he farmed and resided until the time of his passing. Fred was an avid bowler and once bowled a perfect game! He competed in many provincial tournaments and even competed on the national stage. Fred gave back to bowling by coaching for many years in both Maple Creek and Medicine Hat. He coached youth and adults and not only transformed their games, he transformed their lives and developed them as people. Fred was a straight shooter and would tell it like it is and yet, he had a big heart and was caring and empathetic toward others. He will be deeply missed by his wife of 60 years, Carole; son, Glen (Annie) Anderson and grandsons, Jeff and Jack. He was predeceased by his parents, Donnie and Pat Anderson. In honour of Fred’s life, family and friends will round up at the Elk’s Hall, 521 - 5th Ave. in Maple Creek, SK. on Friday, July 12, 2019, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Please accept the condolences and sympathies of me and my family to Carole and Glen and the Anderson family. Fred was a teammate, a competitor, a mentor and a coach to me. We enjoyed many coffees after bowling and Fred would have bacon and eggs at Perkins before driving back from the Hat to Maple Creek. Fred was wise, intelligent, empathic and kind. I have fond memories.

Sorry to read of your recent loss of husband, father and grandfather. Fred was an exceptional friend to my late brother Ewart. My brother always spoke very highly of Fred, at times with laughter and enjoyed their friendship. They had many fun filled trips together to watch bowling through the years. I know he will be missed and remembered fondly by friends, fellow bowlers and family. Take care.
