In Loving Memory of Callie Ruth Anderson

Callie Ruth Anderson, 97 years old, a long time Marco Island resident with her husband, Captain Ray Anderson, passed peacefully from this world with many family members by her side on December 15, 2021 in Maryville, Tennessee. Callie was born in Corpus Christi, Texas, lived for many years in Miami where she and Captain Ray raised their children and moved permanently to Marco Island in 1981. Previously they spent many weekends at their Mariner condominium and the South Seas North before building their home on Bimini Avenue. There they enjoyed many family gatherings and pontoon boat trips from their dock out to the Marco River. Callie became an accomplished stained glass and porcelain dolls artist, many items of which members of her family enjoy today. She and Captain Ray truly enjoyed living on Marco and their many "tennis player" friends. They saw many changes to the Island since first visiting the Marco Island Hotel and Villas in the late 1960s.

Callie was preceded in death by her father and mother, Bert and Annabelle Shults, her brothers Jack and Maurice Shults, and her husband Raymond L. Anderson, The family of which she was so very proud, includes sons Ramon L. Anderson (Cindy) of Punta Gorda, Florida and Robert M. Anderson (Roxann) of Bernalillo, New Mexico and daughter Robin Crawford (Jeff) of Syracuse New York, as well as grandchildren Laurie Jean Anderson, Gregory Anderson, Krista Libby, Karey Barron, Kevin Anderson, Allison Clifford, Brian Clifford and six great grandchildren.

Callie was always "joyful in hope, patient with affliction and faithful in prayer". Romans 12:12. We will miss her each day but take comfort in knowing that she and her husband/our Dad are united once again.
