In Loving Memory
1932•2026
Marjory “Mitzi” Anderson, beloved daughter, sister, aunt and friend, passed away on May 14, 2026 at the age of 93.
Mitzi was born in Salt Lake City on October 27, 1932. Her parents were Glen Christensen Anderson and Edna Jean Rigby Anderson. She grew up in Salt Lake City with her four wonderful, fun-loving sisters, who were also her best friends.
Mitzi graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in education. Loving travel and adventure, she soon left Utah and dashed to Europe, landing a job teaching elementary school in Germany. While living in Germany, she traveled extensively in the Middle East and Europe. She taught countless elementary school-aged children in Germany and later California. She loved her students and she loved to teach. One of her favorite teaching methods was to incorporate music in her lessons.
Mitzi loved music, travel, playing games, and spending time with her family and friends. She had a unique free-spirited and fun-loving personality and she spread joy and smiles to all. She will be sorely missed.
Mitzi was preceded in death by her parents and by her four beloved sisters - Jean Nelson (Frank), Donna Stephens (Wayne), Carol Anderson, and Ruth South (Kent).
Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, May 19 at 12:00 noon at the Larkin Mortuary (260 East South Temple, Salt Lake City). Family and friends are invited to visit from 11:00 to 11:30. Interment, Salt Lake City Cemetery.
Mitzi went about spreading joy and happiness to everyone. I’d see her at the mall, at Costco, even at the opera in Logan. I especially enjoyed seeing her with Alma at Relief Society lessons and functions, always so happy and friendly and ready to share a lovely message to all around her. We were blessed to know her.
Mitzi was such a spit fire. She was always looking for new experiences and fun things to do. We were visiting teachers together for many years and I enjoyed her so much. She was always making me laugh and telling me about events around town. She cared for her friends and family deeply. She was an avid reader and shared with me what she had read to help me in my life. She will be truly missed.

They both lived their last chapter of life at Highland Cove in independent living. They played endless games of Rumikub and watched NBA games together.
Mitzi’s fun personality and interest in people was appreciated.
We also loved having Mitzi in ourbhomecwardvdueingbherbyears living with Alma.
Last but not least, Mitzi’s family connection has been so meaningful. Her nephew Kent Belsinnis my beloved brother in law- married to my sister Pam.
We will all miss Mitzi!❤️
Best card buddy and friend at Hyland Cove. Loved going to Trader Joe's and working on Relief Society projects with you. Will miss you much.
A few kind words can mean a great deal to the family in the days ahead.
