Harry Edward Anderson
Wake Forest
Harry Edward Anderson, 71, of Wake Forest passed away on December 4, 2015, after a brief bout with cancer. He was a loving husband, father, brother, and uncle, a wonderful friend and mentor to many, and N.C. State University’s biggest fan.
Harry was born in Louisa, Virginia, to the late Edward Otis Anderson and Dorothy Edmonia Martin. A 1966 graduate of N.C. State, Harry went on to serve as club manager at the N.C. State Faculty Club for twenty-five years.
Harry enjoyed the outdoors and was an avid hunter, though this did not get in the way of his love for all of God’s creatures, especially the birds and deer he fed for years following his retirement. Harry had many passions, but none bigger than his love of N.C. State athletics, of which he held lifetime rights in football, basketball, and baseball. He was one of the very few that could claim being at both of the Wolfpack’s national championship wins.
A celebration of Harry’s life was held at 2 o’clock Tuesday afternoon, December 8, 2015, in the Chapel of Bright Funeral Home.
He is survived by his wife of forty-eight years, Judith Shepherd Anderson; daughter, Maura Anderson Spencer and son-in-law Raymond Gerald Spencer of Durham; son, Logan Harry Anderson of Raleigh; sister and brother-in-law, Phyllis and Luther Sims of Mechanicsville, Virginia; brother and sister-in-law, Thomas and Hope Anderson of Louisa, Virginia; and brother, Allen Anderson of Louisa, Virginia. He was preceded in death by a beloved sister-in-law, Joan Anderson. He is also survived by his beloved dogs, cats, grand-dogs and grand-cats.
