Obituary

STOUGHTON - Gerald “Jerry” Anderson, age 85, of Stoughton, passed away on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, at Nazareth Health and Rehabilitation. He was born on October 21, 1939, in Madison Wis., the son of Ernest Anderson and Nora (Weitsman) Anderson.


Jerry graduated from Stoughton High School in 1956. After high school, Jerry joined the U.S Navy. He was united in marriage to Judith (Bowman) on January 1, 1960, in Washington D.C. He was employed as a production worker for Uniroyal (US Rubber Company) for 37 years. He also delivered milk and enjoyed harvesting tobacco.


Jerry enjoyed golfing, bowling, hunting and fishing - especially in Canada. He loved travelling around the United States and had visited almost all 50 states. Jerry was an avid card and Bingo player. He enjoyed putting together puzzles with his brother, Ron. During his time at Nazareth, he was very involved in his community. He was well known to others as the “repair man,” as he was talented at fixing televisions, remote controls, shavers and small electronics.


Jerry is survived by his daughter, Debbie (Shaun) Schroeder; grandson, Van Schroeder; brother, Ronald Anderson; nephew and niece, Michael Anderson and Linda (Scott) Ziegler. He was preceded in death by his parents, Nora and Ernest; wife, Judith; son, Jamie Anderson; and sister-in-law, Beverley Anderson.

My husband Paul and I played euchre every Wednesday with Jerry and his brother Ron. The stories they would tell us about their childhood were hilarious! I’ve known Jerry for many years and will miss him. ❤️

I had the privilege of working in the Activity Department at Nazareth, where I got to know Jerry. He was always quick to lend a hand—fixing things for both staff and fellow residents, often before we even asked. Jerry’s generosity, wisdom, and quiet humor left a lasting mark on me and so many others. I’ll miss him dearly. His presence and impact will continue to be felt throughout the Nazareth community. My heartfelt thoughts are with everyone there.

I am writing this for my Uncle Don Becker and his sister Joyce who used to talk to Jerry quite a lot while visiting their mother at Nazereth. Even visited Jerry after their mother passed. They talked about Jerry quite a lot. He will be missed, they send their condolences.

I was lucky to know Jerry. I was a cna instructor at Nazareth over 6 years. Jerry met with the students and shared his card and number tricks. We all admired his skill. His kindness was so appreciated. We always knew he would be available for advice about residents we were caring for. Jerry will be remembered by those of us who were luck to know him.
