Trevor ‘Tom’ Anderson, 86, of Edwardsport, Indiana, went to Heaven with family by his side, on Saturday, October 31, 2026, at Deaconess Gateway Hospital in Newburgh, Indiana. He was born on January 6, 1940, in Martins Ferry, Ohio to Trevor Thomas and Florence M. (McCuen) Anderson. Tom married his loving wife, Doris L. (Meyers) Anderson on June 12, 1965.

Tom worked in Production at Ford Motor Company, retiring with 31 years of service. After that, he was a minister of the Gospel for 21 ½ years.
