March 5, 1941 — November 6, 2024

Two Harbors

Janice A. Anderson, 83, Two Harbors, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, November 6, 2024 at Waterview Shores.

She was born March 5, 1941 to Elmer and Grace (Erickson) Sward and the family lived in the Pequot Lakes area during her childhood. Graduating from Central High School, Jan went to work for Prudential Insurance in Duluth and through a mutual friend met David H. Anderson on a blind date. They were married on October, 14, 1967 and just celebrated their 57th anniversary. Jan and Dave settled in Two Harbors where she served as secretary at Bethlehem Lutheran Church for more than 30 years.

Jan’s greatest joy was found in her family and faith. She loved to sew; making clothes and baby blankets and was also active in the quilting group at the church. Music was very important for Jan and she sang in many choirs and groups.

Jan was preceded in death by her parents and siblings, Judy Surman, Roland Sward, Joe Sward, and Terri Sward.

She is survived by her husband, David; a son, Tim (Kristy Dupree); daughter, Jill (Gavin) Bopp; grandchildren, Ethan and Rachel; siblings Roger (Vicki) Sward and Janene (Steve) Adamson; sisters-in-law, Melissa and Lisa; brother-in-law, Bob; and many nieces and nephews. 

The family would like to thank the nurses and caregivers at Lake View Hospital, Waterview Shores, and Moments Hospice for their genuine kindness and loving care.

Visitation will be from 3 PM until the 4 PM service on Friday, November 15, 2024 at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Two Harbors.
