(Nee Anderson) Reunited with her beloved parents, Verdal and Christy Anderson, on Tuesday, June 16, 2020, at the age of 57. Devoted wife of James Lemke, for 38 years. Loving mother of Joseph Lemke, Jennifer (Walter) Majewski, Amanda (Jacob) Waterworth, Jacob Lemke, and Joshua (fiancée Marina Fanciullo) Lemke. Adored Nana of William Waterworth, Noah Waterworth, and Baby Waterworth due in December. Dear sister of Vione (Tim) Lightfield, Jody Anderson, Kevin (Lynn) Anderson, and Kirk Anderson. Also loved by nieces, nephews, other relatives, friends, and her family at Faith Community Church.
Jim was her husband, but also her best friend and partner in everything. They walked side by side through many adventures. She was the great woman behind the great man. They were active members of Faith Community Church, leaders of the church’s Youth Ministry, and helped lead many of the church’s annual mission trips to Lithuania. She was the decorations coordinator for Vacation Bible School for many years. When her own children were in school, she was very active in their school. They touched so many lives throughout the years. The family has heard so many people talk about the difference Jim and Nedra made in their lives. They lived out their faith in Christ and their love for one another and taught others to do the same. Their legacy on Earth is great; their inheritance in Heaven is so much greater. So many people enjoyed Nedra’s hospitality as they were welcomed into her home…including a number of foster children throughout the years. She would set aside everything else to focus only on you. The meals and desserts she made (especially her cinnamon rolls) were a small taste of the delights she is now experiencing in Heaven. It was always such a wonderful shock when people realized how this sweet, sweet lady could be such a devilish prankster.
