Elizabeth (Beth) Anderson

Elizabeth (Beth) Slabaugh Anderson was born July 23, 1952, in Canton, Ohio. She was born to a teenage mother, raised by her natural grandparents.

She is preceded in death by her husband Robert Anderson, the love of her life, her natural mother Donna Slabaugh West, adoptive parents, and siblings.

She leaves behind to cherish her memory many relatives and friends including the Jerry (Betty) Weaver family of Cleveland, TN and the Carol Maley family of Athens, TN.

Beth's life was dedicated to the Lord at 11 years old, and she spent most of her life in service as long as she was physically able. Sunday school teacher and secretary, camp counselor, youth mission trip to Thailand, writer and editor for state and international church news magazines. In her later years she delighted in volunteer work at the local hospital, and bell ringing for the Salvation Army!

She had a way with words which she used often to create poems, stories, and songs to encourage, celebrate, and uplift people in their times of need or grief.

Friends and family will gather to celebrate Beth's life Saturday, October 25, 2025, at Companion Funeral Home, Ridge Chapel, beginning at 4:00. The service will follow at 6:00 PM.

Her life was a life of giving and her wit, writing talents, giving heart and love for others will be deeply missed.
