Paulette was born to Robert and Bernadine (Thramer) Walnofer, Feb. 24, 1960, in Neligh.

She graduated from Ewing High School and received a finance degree from Wayne State College.

She was married to Mark Anderson, March 12, 1983, in Butte.

She supported Mark through many moves around the country, from Texas to Colorado, Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, Kansas and Arkansas.

Paulette was an exceptional wife and mother. She made her kids her life’s mission, from home-schooling to 4-H to attending multiple sports events.

The past few years of her life were sweetened by the presence of grandkids and soaking up their sweet smiles.

Paulette’s flourishing Christian walk was apparent to those around her and it was her life’s testimony to share Christ’s love, specifically with children and mothers. She was consistently involved in her local church, starting and attending many Missionette’s programs, mother’s Bible studies and supporting local pregnancy crisis centers.
