The daughter of Robert and Delores Heist Anderson was born May 17, 1950 in York, Pennsylvania. She attended Wrightsville Schools in York, PA graduating in 1968. After graduation she continued her education at York College. She studied nursing at the York Hospital School of Nursing graduating in 1972. A short time later she found herself headed to Oklahoma to visit her brother. Her plan was to try out the Tulsa area for a while knowing that if she decided not to stay, she would move to California to work with nursing school friends. However, a friend of hers introduced her to Don Meeker. They were married April 21, 1979 at the Inola United Methodist Church. In 1978 she took a job with Hillcrest Hospital in Tulsa. She retired in 2002 due to illness. In her spare time she was very active in the church, and with her children's activities.
She is preceded in death by her father, Robert Anderson and sister, Wendy Anderson.
