Warren Vincent "Andy" Anderson

December 22, 1935 - October 7, 2020

U.S. Naval Chief Petty Officer Ret. Warren Vincent “Andy” Anderson, 84, of Millington, TN passed away on Wednesday afternoon October 7, 2020 after a welllived life. A tech and gadget guru with a gruff exterior, he was ultimately a teddy bear who loved his pretzel sticks, Maryland Crab Cakes, and a squirt of ketchup on his spaghetti. A family hero who lived with six women in a one-bathroom house, Andy was preceded in death by the love of his life, his beautiful wife of 62 years, Virginia, and siblings Helen, Jim, Harrison, Pauline, and Evelyn. He is survived by his brother Charles, and five distinctive daughters Juliana Biggers (J.O.), Kelline Dent (Ted), Christine Yates (Steve), Mary Beth “Murph” Carver (Bobby), and Caroline Anderson. Born on December 22, 1935, in York Haven, PA to Theodore Anderson and Jenny Hake, Andy was the youngest of seven children. A Korean and Vietnam era veteran, Andy spent his career in the Navy serving and traveling around his country for 22 years. Ultimately settling in Millington with his family and proud of his service until his last days, Chief Anderson leaves behind a glorious legacy in his grandchildren: Joseph Biggers (Sarah), Shane Yates, Jennifer Taylor (Shaun), Juliana Williams (Brandon), Jeremy Dent (Brandy), Justin Yates (Lynn), Clyde Carver (Meagan), Alyse Anderson (Michael), John Myers (Madison), Kristina Dent, Sarah Carver (Dustin), Mathew Bailey (Crystal). He also leaves behind hope for the next generation through his great-grandchildren: Eli, Maddie, Kera, Lily, Liam, Noah, Ainsley, Joe, Carsyn, Jeremiah, James, Emersyn, Blakely, and soon to arrive Savannah (2020), and baby Anderson (2021). He will always be treasured by those who knew him best and will never be forgotten when the scent of cherry pipe tobacco is in the air. A celebration of life service for Mr. Anderson will be held at 1:00 P.M., Sunday, October 18, 2020 at the Navy Lakehouse in Millington. “If you don’t know, then ask the Chief”.
