Paul Curtis Anderson, a resident of the Iola community, passed away peacefully at the age of 77 on October 17, 2026. Born on October 6, 1949, in Iola, Paul was the son of the late Robert and Eunice (Miedaner) Anderson, the loving brother of Carol (Thomas) Hoff, David (Carol) Anderson, John (Beverly) Anderson, Barbara (James) Erdmann and Judith Schultz, and uncle of numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and brother in law: Donald Schultz.

After earning his Associate's Degree, Paul dedicated his career to the field of aviation as an aircraft mechanic for Air Cargo Co, in Milwaukee for over 15 years. His meticulous work and passion for aviation underscored his professional life, earning him the respect and admiration of his colleagues and friends. He also enjoyed photography and looked forward to exploring new things to photograph.

Paul was known for his warm smile, gentle spirit, and unwavering kindness. He had a profound impact on those around him, extending his friendship to everyone he met. He found joy in both the simple and significant moments of life, whether spending time with family, enjoying the beauty of the outdoors, or sharing stories with friends.
