Cleo La Von Speh was born on September 11, 1926, to Jake and Florence (Ericson) Speh of Tolstoy, SD. 

Cleo graduated from Plainview Academy in Redfield, SD where she met and made many lifelong friends, including her future husband, Russell Lee Anderson.  Russell and Cleo were married January 12, 1950.  They spent their lives together at the Anderson Farm west of Tulare. 

Cleo attended Union College in Lincoln, NE and then completed her teaching degree at Northern State University in Aberdeen, SD.  She taught Home Economics at Plainview Academy until it closed in 1965.  In addition to teaching, Cleo dedicated herself to many civic, community, and neighborhood activities that included the Wheaton Missionary Society and the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Cleo was also quite the lady.  She always dressed with style, grace, and class.  Her immaculate home reflected her passion for fine china, crystal, glassware, and shoes. 

Cleo is survived by her children:  Randall (Vickee), Rocky, Candee (Randal), Reginald, Reed (Tamara), Ryan (Pam); grandchildren:  Chad, Chauncey, Ross, Sara, Dylan, Abigail, Emily,  and Sarah; and great-grandchildren: Mackenzie, Lyndzie, Lexzie, and Brynlee.

Cleo was preceded in death by her parents, husband Russell Lee Anderson, sister Ardis Fulk and daughter-in-law Kathleen (Lagro) Anderson.
