Kenneth Lloyd Anderson

August 24, 1929 — July 9, 2024

Calgary, Alberta

It is with deep sadness that the family of Kenneth Anderson announce his passing on Tuesday, July 9, 2024 at Newport Harbour, Park Place Senior Living in Calgary, Alberta, at the age of 94.

Besides his loving wife, Ruby, Kenneth is survived by his children, Yvonne (Roy) O'Sullivan, Leonard (Sonia) Anderson, Lenford (Audrey) Anderson, and Errol (Blythe) Anderson; eleven grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren; sisters, Mavis Ramsay (Enoch), Hazel Gibson; brother Hector; and numerous other relatives and friends. Kenneth was predeceased by his parents, Ruby and David Anderson; sisters, Rosa Morgan, Inez Jarrett; brother, Rupert; and son, Tony.

Kenneth was born on August 24, 1929 and raised in Spanish Town, Jamaica. He attended St. Catherine School. His Chosen Trade was Carpentry. He excelled at this and his workmanship in construction or making furniture was well known.

In 1964, Kenneth immigrated to Montreal, Canada, where he began working at the Douglas Hospital in maintenance and repair. With his hard work, people skills and workmanship, he retired in 1994 from Douglas Hospital as a Therapist Assistant, a position which he enjoyed, teaching and passing on the knowledge of carpentry to the residents.

After many fulfilling years in Montreal, Kenneth and Ruby relocated to Alberta to be closer to their children and grandchildren. They settled in Calgary, where they enjoyed their retirement years gardening, participating in church activities, and creating lasting memories with family and friends.

Kenneth will be remembered as a kind-hearted and sociable individual, always ready to lend a helping hand and enjoyed being surrounded by the ones he loved.

The family wishes to express their gratitude to the administration and staff at Newport Harbour Park Place Senior Living for the exceptional care provided to Kenneth.
