Dr. Victor S. Anderson

Victor S. Anderson, 83, of Cranberry Township, was called to Heaven on Monday January 20, 2020.

Born June 26, 1936 in Hanumakonda, Deccan, India, a son to late Arthur Hemlin Anderson and Isabell

Sarah Anderson (Barnett).  Victor was a graduate of Breeks Memorial Anglo Indian Higher Secondary

School in Ootacamund, India. After graduating, he left to settle in the United States and continue his

education.

Victor continued his education first at Providence-Barrington Bible College in Rhode Island.  He then

attended Wheaton College in Illinois, earning a Bachelor of Science while competing on the soccer and

wrestling teams.  He had a heart to serve the Lord and his choice was to follow in his parents footsteps

and become a missionary or continue his education and serve through becoming a Doctor.

He chose the path of medicine and attended the University of Illinois Medical School.  It was also during

this period where he met his wife, Dorothy Ann Anderson (Zoppelt). They were married on September

15, 1962 in Aliquippa, Pa.  They were married for 45 years, until March 25, 2008 when Dorothy was

called to her Heavenly home.

Victor was called to serve in the US Army Medical Corp. He served two years as a Captain spending time

abroad in Korea.  After his military service Victor and Dorothy lived in several communities in the

Pittsburgh area, including Monroeville, Greensburg, and Center Township.  He continued his education at

the University of Pittsburgh where he specialized in Plastic and Reconstructive surgery. After receiving his

specialized training he worked in several Pittsburgh area hospitals prior to establishing his own practice

in Greensburg, where Dorothy assisted as the Office Manager.

Other than his passion for medicine and learning, Victor was strongly committed to the Lord. He was

involved as an elder at many churches and sang in multiple choirs.  Even as his mobility began to decline

he was dedicated to praying for others as his way to continue to serve the Lord.

Victor leaves two sons, Michael S. Anderson and his wife Amber Anderson with their children, Annelies

and Tabitha, and Samuel Anderson and his wife Katie Anderson along with their children, Kyle and Sarah.

He also leaves two siblings, Eunice Kolb and her husband Aaron Kolb, Ken Anderson and his wife Lois

Anderson and preceded in death by his brother David Anderson and his wife Joan Anderson.  Victor also

leaves numerous loving nieces and nephews.

Friends will be received on Wednesday January 22, 2020 from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. at the Simpson

Funeral & Cremation Services, 1119 Washington Avenue, Monaca, Pa (724-728-4000). Friends may also call on Thursday
