January 12, 1944 - July 9, 2022

Mr. Leland Anderson, 78, died on Saturday, July 9, 2022, in Mountain Home, AR. He was born on January 12, 1944, in Waunakee, WI to Andrew and Dora Anderson.
Leland served in the U.S Army and was stationed in Germany. Upon returning, he went to work for the 3M corporation for over 30 years. He was usually forced to take his vacation time, and never had a sick day. He retired in 2005. He was a dedicated husband and father. When Leland was married to Laurita, they had 2 children together. Leland was very athletic and loved to compete in softball as an adult. This is probably why he never missed watching an MN Twins game. He was also a huge MN Vikings fan. Lee loved rock and roll music of many eras and styles. He was a man of integrity, he believed if you took wood from a community wood pile, you should cut more than you took so as not to be a burden on anyone else. He married Paula in 2006 and moved to Mountain Home AR in 2013. He enjoyed his new home, traveling with Paula, and going to see his family.
Leland is survived by his wife: Paula Anderson; daughter: Leah (Jeff) Magnuson; son: Kenneth (Holly) Anderson; one step-daughter: Erika Jackson; one step-son: Leland Riker; nine grandchildren: Cassie, Alex, and Gage Magnuson, Jonah, Flynn, Culley, and Willa Anderson, and Shelby and Tom Wick; two great-grandchildren: Theo and Skyla Magnuson; two step-grandchildren: Zoe and Jordan Jackson; brothers: Kenneth and Larry Anderson; sisters: Linda (Mike) Jacobson, Patty (Kevin) Raway, and Susie (Denny) Illa; and a host of nieces and nephews.
