Edward Stanley Anderson

May 24, 1925 - December 16, 2020

Edward Stanley Anderson, 95, of Louisville, entered Eternal Life on Wednesday, December 16, 2020. Edward was born and raised in Louisville. He served in the United States Navy during World War II and then became an accountant and started his own accounting firm. He was a longtime member of St. Raphael Catholic Church. He is preceded in death by his wife of 68 years, Mary Leigh Anderson; son, Denny Anderson; and grandson, John Anderson. Left to cherish Edward’s memory are his children, Robert “Mick’’ Anderson, Lynn Reid, his daughter-in-law Margaret H. Anderson, Kevin Anderson, Gary Anderson (Mary Ann), and Karen Bryan; grandchildren, Scott, Kurt, Erin, Marty, Katie, Keith, Hayley, Ashley, Matthew, Eric, and Taylor; great grandchildren, Grady, Myla, Desmond, Leon, Quinn, Carson, Lily, Barrett; and numerous nieces and nephews. Called “Fast Eddie” or “Andy” by many, he was well known for his great sense of humor and loved to tell jokes at every opportunity that he had. He always said that the secret to a long life is to “laugh a lot”, for “every time you laugh, you add another day to your life”. Over the years, he’s added a lot of time for those closest to him. Ed was also known for having a passion for gardening and every summer he would love to give the fruits (vegetables) of his labors to family, friends and acquaintances. Kroger veggies were just never quite as good! Visitation for Edward will be from 4-8 PM on Monday, December 21, 2020 at Ratterman & Sons Funeral Home, 3800 Bardstown Road.
