Obituary for Jamie Therese Anderson

Jamie Therese Anderson, age 67, entered into eternal rest while at home in Reno, Nev. on November 27, 2018. Jamie was born in Somerville, N.J. on April 26, 1951, to James and Rose Lavenia and was the youngest of three children. With an innate love of learning, Jamie soared through school pursuing her passion for medicine by earning her nursing degree from Saint Louis University followed by her master’s degree from San Jose State University. While working as a nurse at Stanford Medical Center, Jamie met a special patient who turned out to be the love of her life, Daniel Anderson. They were married in 1977 and lived in San Jose, Calif. where they raised their two daughters, Katherine and Margaret.
In 1986, the family moved to Reno after Jamie accepted a job at the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine. During her career there, Jamie finished her second master’s degree in public health and was known for making regular road trips to nearly every town in rural Nevada.
Jamie will be remembered in many ways, notably for her infectious laugh, generous spirit, and love of all things Disney. Jamie is survived by her children, Maggie and Katie (Ronnie), brother, Charles (Yvonne), sister Mary, three grandchildren, extended family, and a host of dear friends.
Funeral services will be held on Friday, December 7, 2018 at 11 a.m. at Our Lady of the Snows Church, Catholic Parish with a reception to follow and a private burial ceremony. Memorial donations can be made in Jamie’s name to Northern Nevada HOPES.
