Marjy L. (Shanks) Anderson: Newspaper Obituary and Death Notice Daily Register (Portage, WI) - Tuesday, September 13, 2005 Deceased Name: Marjy L. (Shanks) Anderson Marjy L. (Shanks) Anderson, age 80, of Tempe, Ariz., died Sept. 8, 2005, after a long struggle with Parkinson's disease. She was born in Portage and graduated from Portage High School in 1942. Marjy was a 25-year Motorola employee and began her career at Chicago Title and Trust. She was preceded in death by her parents, Alan Bogue Shanks and Mabel (Stone) Shanks, both longtime Portage residents, and a sister, Mabel Elizabeth "Betty" (Shanks) Austin. She is survived by John K., her husband of 54 years, and children Alan Anderson of Tempe, Maggie (Bruce) Bessette of Tempe, and Neal (Cindy) Anderson of Albuquerque, N.M., as well as her sisters, Isabel McAtee, 98, of Mesa, Ariz., and Jean Davidson, 90, of Steamboat Springs, Colo.

Dear Annette and other Listers, Thank you very much, Annette, for sending me Marjy Anderson's obituary! It filled in just the details I needed on her! Wonderful! Her marriage to Robert Nitter can only have lasted about 2-3 years! Could it be that their divorce announcement was published in the local Phoenix, AZ newspaper? Thanks again for making the NORWAY list such a wonderful one! Very sincerely yours, Lars E. Oyane ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Mar 28, 2015, at 12:51 PM, Annette Bowen via wrote: > Marjy L.
