While Dorothy had been subject to deteriorating physical conditions for a number of years, her death occurred quickly and peacefully with her husband, Walter and other family members at her side. The precise cause of death is not known. Dorothy, the youngest daughter of Roy Cole and Maud Ernst Cole, was born at home few miles northwest of O'Neill, Neb., on March 1, 1924, and barely missed being a leap year baby. She was greeted by her siblings Helen and Walter. The family lived in the Page and O'Neill communities. On Oct. 8, 1946, she married Walter Anson at the New Hope Church in Page. Their marriage lasted 66 years until her death parted them. To the marriage were born four children, Gwendolyn Marie, Wayne Melvin, Charles Martin and Danny M. The family lived first on his parents farm near Orchard then on the Ralph Ernst farm on the Eagle Creek north of O'Neill. After a few years there the family moved to a farm on the south bank of the Ponca Creek about midway between Bristow and Lynch, Neb. After the homestead flooded they relocated to Grand Island, where they lived for many years. In December 2011 when Dorothy's deteriorating condition required around the clock supervision she and Walter relocated to Superior, Ariz., where she then lived until her death. Dorothy primarily was a homemaker and active church worker in the Wesleyan Church in Grand Island. She supplemented the family income by took in ironing, cleaning for a select number of ladies and part time jobs at the Grand Island Independent and the Grand Island Salvation Army. The most common remark by those who knew her was "she was a special lady," or "a true Christian woman." A beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, Dorothy is survived by her husband, Walter of Superior, Ariz.; her daughter and son-in-law, Gwendolyn and Bob Doane of Superior, Ariz.; her three sons and their wives, Wayne and Patti Anson, Charles and Suellen Anson, and Danny and Sarah Anson, all of Grand Island. She is also survived by 12 grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren who are scattered from Wisconsin to Texas and to Arizona. Dorothy is also survived by a few of her cousins and a large number of nephews and nieces plus their children and grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, her siblings, one grandson and one great-grandson. Dorothy's earthly body has been cremated and will be laid to rest in the O'Neill Cemetery in O'Neill, Neb. A memorial service will be at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, June 26 at New Life Community Church, 301 W. 2nd St., in Grand Island, with guest Pastor Bob Stretch officiating. The ashes will be interred at the O'Neill Cemetery in O'Neill, the following day. We are not working through a mortuary. Published in The Grand Island Independent on June 20, 2012
