The son of the late Darrell and Edna Anderson was born October 26, 1942 in Ogden, UT. On January 11, 1969 he married the former Noreen A. Harris in Midland. They enjoyed 55 years of marriage.

He attended Weber State University earning a BS degree in psychology and sociology and the University of Utah earning an MA degree in psychology and an MS degree in industrial/labor relations. Steve was employed with The Dow Chemical Company until retiring in 1996 after completing 30 years of service. Following his retirement, Steve worked in Midland for Right Management Consultants, was an adjunct instructor at Saginaw Valley State University and Davenport University, provided human resources consulting services through Anderson and Associates and was Director of Human Resources at the Midland Center for the Arts.

As a community volunteer Steve was a dedicated board member of the Salvation Army, Senior Services and Habitat for Humanity. His positive attitude and willingness to help was always in the forefront.

Steve loved being with his grandchildren, taking family vacations and visiting with family and friends. He will be remembered as a devoted husband, father, grandfather and a trusted friend.

Surviving besides his wife Noreen are sons Todd (Krista) and Joel (Tara), five grandchildren, brother-in-law Loren (Debbie) Harris and cousin David Young.

In accordance with Steve’s wishes, cremation has taken place and a private celebration of his life will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers those planning an expression of sympathy are asked to consider the local Salvation Army, Senior Services, or Habitat for Humanity in his honor.
