Marie Anderson, age 86, of Havre de Grace, Maryland passed away peacefully on June 30, 2024. Born in Yadkinville, North Carolina, she was the beloved daughter of the late Eugene and Oda (Edwards) Steelman and loving wife of the late Lawrence Anderson. Marie dedicated 57 years of her life to A & P (Superfresh) Grocery Store, where she served as a dedicated front-end manager. Her commitment to her work and her warm personality touched the lives of many in her community.

Marie was a devout lifetime member of Bel Air Church of the Nazarene, where her faith played a central role in her life. She had a passion for cooking and baking, renowned for her signature 5-flavor pound cake and the Sunday feasts she lovingly prepared for her family and friends, reminiscent of Thanksgiving meals. Her summer cookouts for the bus company were legendary, featuring her homemade ice cream that everyone eagerly anticipated.

Family was paramount to Marie, and she cherished her grandchildren and great-grandchildren dearly. They brought immense joy to her life, and she devoted herself to their happiness and well-being.
