Minnie Mae Anderson

April 29, 1929 — December 14, 2018

SHOSHONE

Minnie Mae Anderson died at the age of 89 at the Lincoln County Care Center early morning December 14, 2018. Mae was born April 29, 1929 to Willis and Anna Walton in Lewiston, Idaho. Mae was the fifth of six children.

Mae graduated from Dietrich High School in Dietrich, Idaho in 1948. That same year Mae married Billy J. Anderson in Winnemucca, Nevada.

Mae, Bill and the family lived in a home on South Greenwood Street in Shoshone, Idaho. Mae and Bill had five children Laura, Yvonne, Rex, Lex and Roy Anderson along with a collection of pets and creatures over the years. At the same location, Mae and Bill opened Floyd's Motel in 1959. Mae managed and operated the business for over three decades. This provided additional income as well as years of joy sprinkled with a little frustration for Mae.
