Jo was born on Aug. 18, 1923, in Sumter, to Clarence Saxby and Emma Richardson Baker Anderson. Jo graduated from Edmonds (Sumter) High School. Jo taught swimming for the Red Cross and dancing at Arthur Murray Dance Studios, and studied nursing in college. When the Army wanted physical therapists, Jo signed up to help. While assigned to the Post Hospital as a physical therapist working with polio patients, she met the love of her life, Ferd Anderson, at a dance at Ft. Bragg in 1949. Jo and Ferd married on Aug. 4, 1950, in Sumter. They were blessed with seven children, and eventually, eight wonderful grandchildren. Ferd and Jo also cared for five foster children, whom they always considered as family. When Ferd retired from the Army in 1976, they settled in Lincoln to be close to Ferd's parents. After the children were grown, Jo returned to school and received her licensed practical nurse degree at Southeast Community College. She also joined the Shim Shams senior dance troupe at Hart Dance Academy. Jo and Ferd taught their children to love the Lord and to serve others. In Lincoln, they attended St. Mark's on the Campus Episcopal Church. Jo will be greatly missed by her children, grandchildren, extended family and friends. She is now dancing in heaven with her beloved Ferd, and we look forward to the day we will all be together again! Jo is survived by her children, Gwen Victoria Anderson (Robert Edwin Bast), Ferd Emanuel (Monique) Anderson III, Lori Jean Anderson, Clarence Saxby (Claudia) Anderson III, Samuel Chandler Baker (Rebecca) Anderson and Helga Torell (Mark) Reynolds; grandchildren, Rachel Chaplin (Hans) Anderson-Seller, Isaac Taylor Anderson, Hannah Baker Anderson, Will Chandler Anderson and Eli Saxby Anderson, Simeon Mark (Amanda) Reynolds and Mary Helga Reynolds, Isabelita Chaya Anderson; great-grandson, Phillip Leonidas Seller; foster children, David Ward, Patty Walsh, Delores Arnold and Theresa Arnold; and niece, Vicky Anderson.
