Mr. Wallace Anderson departed this earthly life at home, very peacefully on Thursday, August 29, 2019 at the blessed age of 82 years. He was born July 25, 1937 in Panola, Alabama, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Pete Anderson.
Wallace accepted Christ at an early age and was a member of House of Prayer Baptist Church. He was employed with The General Motors Corporation Malleable Iron Plant and was active with UAW Local 455. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. He was a quiet man with a loud sense of humor. His nicknames he was known by were “Biscuit” and “One Day.”
Wallace interests included attending church services, cars, trucks and fashion. The man loved to dress, and everything had to match with shiny shoes. His favorite tv shows were In The Heat of the Night and Walker Texas Ranger. To say he will be missed is an understatement. He will forever be remembered and honored in our hearts.
