Jerry Lee Anderson

Jerry Lee Anderson, age 81, of Clifton, TN, passed away on September 1, 2025. He was born on August 18, 1944, he was the son of the late Richard and Eddith Stricklin Anderson. On May 30, 1963, Jerry found love and companionship when he united in marriage with Iva Lee Brown, creating a bond that would last a lifetime.

A proud member of the Masonic Lodge post 173 and the Shriners, Jerry dedicated many years to his community and fellow members. He had a fulfilling career as a supervisor, beginning with Genesco Manufacturing Company, then moving on to Johnson Control, and culminating in a well-earned retirement from CCA.

Softball was more than just a pastime for Jerry; it was his passion, and he played with heart until he could no longer swing the bat. He also coached baseball for the Dixie League. Outside of his work and athletic endeavors, Jerry found joy in participating in horse shows and squirrel hunting. Perhaps most importantly, he treasured the moments spent with his family and relished the time he could escape to his beloved farm.

He will be deeply missed but fondly remembered for the warmth and kindness he brought to all who crossed his path.

He is survived by his wife Iva Lee Anderson of Clifton, TN; his daughter, Darlene Anderson White (John Jr.) of Joelton, TN; grandchildren, Johnny White III (Ashley Ramar) of Malcomb, MI, and Colby White (Alissa) of Troy, MI; great grandchild, Johnny LJ White IIII; nephew, Timmy Anderson (Kelly); and several other nieces, nephews, cousins, and in-laws.
