Anderson, Dayle Evelyn (4 February 1948 - 24 April 2009)

A memorial service will be held to celebrate the life of Dayle Evelyn Anderson (61) on Saturday, May 23, 2009 at 10:00 a.m. at the New Hope Presbyterian Church in Hannibal with Pastor E. Bradley Carloss officiating.

Dayle passed away at her home in Johnson Creek on April 24, 2009 after a six-year battle with three different cancers invading her body. Her family was with her when she completed her journey here on earth.

Dayle, the eldest daughter of Glen and Florence (Grandquist) Anderson, was born February 4, 1948, at the Stanley Hospital. She attended elementary school in Gilman. The family moved to Waukesha where she graduated from high school in 1966. Dayle and Jerry Kasmarek were married October 1966 in a Presbyterian church in Waukesha. They later divorced.

She worked at various jobs, then attended (college) and graduated with an Associate Degree as an Administrative Assistant in 2001. She was employed in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Unit at the University of Wisconsin, Madison from 2001 to February 2008 when her illness forced her to resign from the job she loved. She worked with thousands of graduate students with scheduling, being a thoughtful watcher to those under her care.

Dayle’s family, reading, crocheting, all kinds of music, attending Country Jam, and challenging herself in the quest for knowledge filled her life with purpose and joy.

Survivors include her ex-husband, Jerry; one daughter, Penny (Len) Lepkowski, Bowling Green, KY; and two sons: Geoffrey, Waupun, and Chris, Johnson Creek; also surviving are three sisters: Diana Rohl, Manitowoc, Shelly Treen, Fremont, Ohio, and Holly Anderson, Green Spring, Ohio; one brother, Jim Anderson, Ohio; nine grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles and many cousins.

She was preceded in death by her parents.
