April 24, 1971 - May 1, 2022
*Obituary
White Funeral Home and Crematory
Cassville, Missouri
Kelly Jo Anderson, age 51, of Seligman, Missouri, went to her heavenly home after a sudden heart attack on Sunday, May 1, 2022, at her home in Seligman. The daughter of Jack and Loretta Wright, Kelly was born on April 24, 1971, in Cassville. On October 26, 1990, she was united in marriage to Andy Anderson at Rock Springs Church in Seligman, and to this union two sons were born, Eric Anderson, of Seligman, and Brent Anderson and his girlfriend, Mollie, of Washburn.
Additional survivors include three sisters, Karen Roller and her husband Wesley, and Judy Brooks, all of Washburn, and Jackie Rouse, of Anadarko, Oklahoma; her mother and father in-law, Johnny and Diane Anderson, of Seligman, her brother-in-law, Mark Anderson and his wife Lynn, of Lockwood; her sister-in-law, Abby Anderson, of Washburn; and several nieces and nephews.
Kelly was preceded in death by her father, Jack Wright; her mother Loretta Tilford and her husband Bill; one brother, Leslie Wright; and one nephew, Cody Crim.
Kelly received her education from Southwest R-V School and graduated in 1989. Subsequent to graduation she went on and received her hairdressers’ licenses in 1991 from Marcel Royal in Rogers, Arkansas. For the past thirty-one years, Kelly worked at Finesse Salon in Bentonville, Arkansas, making several lasting friendships along the way. Some of her favorite pastimes included reading, riding horses, float trips with her friends, mushroom hunting, anything her boys were doing, and spending time with family. Kelly had a huge heart and was always willing to help others as well as animals, and over the years she has provided a loving and warm home for strays. She received the Lord on October 21, 1979, at Rock Springs Church in Seligman, and Heaven gained a special angel the morning she passed. Though Kelly’s time with us was cut short, she has left a lasting impression on so many lives and she will forever be missed.
"In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still, in our hearts you hold a place, no one else will ever fill."
The family will receive friends from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 7, 2022, at the White Funeral Home & Crematory, Cassville; graveside services to follow at 1:00 p.m. at King Cemetery, Seligman, with Pastor John Henry officiating.
Memorial contributions may be made to St. Jude Children’s Hospital in memory of Kelly, and entrusted to the White Funeral Home, P.O. Box 890, Cassville, MO 65625.
Funeral arrangements are under the direction of the White Funeral Home and Crematory, Cassville, Missouri.
