Bruce V. Anderson Obituary (1942 - 2015)

Bruce V. Anderson, 73 died at his home on November 17, 2015. He will be missed by many and is finally at peace from the demons that tormented him. Bruce was born July 2, 1942 in Delta, Utah to Ernest and Phyllis Anderson. Bruce received his barber license in 1962 and was a barber through the date of his passing. Bruce married his sweetheart Leigh Ann in the Salt Lake Temple on August 26, 1966. Bruce was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and served a full time-mission from 1962-1964 in the Southwest-Indian Mission, where he assisted in the establishment of the Arizona Indian Education Association. Bruce is survived by his wife Leigh Ann, son Mark Anderson (Lisa), daughter Michelle Anderson-Wallace, grandchildren Alex, Dustin, Miranda and Spencer, sisters Nancy Taylor and Nora McDonald. Bruce was preceeded in death by his parents Ernest and Phyllis Anderson, son-in-law Kenneth Wallace and sister Colleen Otterstrom. You could not spend more than five minutes with Bruce and not like him. He was a genuine, unselfish person who probably never charged a customer the full price in his career. He was proud of his hometown of Delta. Bruce enjoyed hunting, golfing and worrying. Bruce was a renouned worrier; he was affectionately known as "WW" or "Worry Wart". His greatest joys came from his family. He constantly talked about what a wonderful patient woman Leigh Ann was. He loved talking about what Mark/Lisa and Michelle/Kenny were up to. He was very proud of his grandchildren. He loved them and they loved him back. The mirror in his barber shop was full of pictures of Alex, Dustin, Miranda and Spencer. A highlight for him and his grandsons was golfing every Monday where they all learned a new form of scoring. The roads will be much safer with Bruce gone. If he wasn't the world's worst driver, he was close to it. Funeral services are to be held Monday, November 23, 2015 at the Clearfield 11th ward chapel located at 1175 E 1245 S, Clearfield Utah at 10:30AM.
