Lillian was born May 15, 1921, to Irwin Daniels and Tina Elliott Daniels on a farm east of Lehigh. She grew up and attended schools in the Lehigh and Homer areas. At the age of 15, she moved to Fort Dodge to work for a family with a young son and she also cared for an elderly woman. During the winter of 1937, she met her future husband, Oliver A. Anderson. Lillian and Oliver were married on July 30, 1939 at the parsonage of Our Saviour's Lutheran Church in Callender. As newlyweds, they lived in the Johnston Clayworks area south of Fort Dodge. They later moved to a farm near there and farmed until 1961 when they moved to Moorland where Lillian worked as a cook at the elementary school. The couple moved to Lehigh in 1977, and operated Anderson Grocery from 1974 to 1982, when they retired. She belonged to the Golden Memories Club and for several years helped cook and serve the noon meals on Mondays. Oliver died on May 20, 2000. Lillian moved to an assisted living apartment in Webster City in 2006 and had resided at the Stratford Nursing and Rehabilitation Center since November 2008.
She loved spending time with her family and especially enjoyed cooking for them. Her interests included sewing, gardening and raising flowers.
