Maurine Miles Anderson, age 87, peacefully passed July 29, 2022, in South Jordan, Utah. Born September 13, 1934, in Roosevelt, Utah, to her loving parents, Rue and Anona Miles.

Maurine met her sweetheart while attending Altamont High School and was married to Max Anderson for time and all eternity on December 17, 1952. They later moved to the Salt Lake Valley.

Maurine graduated from the University of Utah and excelled as a school teacher. She was always supportive and very proud of Max in his endeavors as a general contractor, and then co-owner of Superior Buck & Steel.

Max and Maurine enjoyed nearly 70 years together. They had the opportunity to go on many trips and adventures together. Best of all, they loved to spend time together on the back porch enjoying the beautiful view of the Salt Lake valley and the small window of nature on their property, especially the horses and quail.

Maurine was an amazing homemaker, mother, and grandmother. She always showed kindness and unconditional love. She made sure every birthday was celebrated.

Maurine loved music and was often found humming her favorite tunes. She was a talented pianist and gave many piano lessons to her children and grandchildren. She was always excited to see a musical or a children's music recital.

At church, she served in many callings, including Young Womens, Primary, and Relief Society presidencies. She loved serving and gave her callings her all. She enjoyed being a ministering sister. She truly treasured the years she was able to spend as a temple worker.

The family would like to send a special thank you to the staff at Stonehenge Rehabilitation Center. We are so grateful for the care and kindness that was provided during this difficult time. Thank you for going above and beyond.
