In Memory
Juanita Margaret “Margie” Anderson (Yoeme, Apache, born for the Native Hawaiian) was a strong woman of faith whose day began and ended with prayer. She carried herself with grace and beauty, both inside and outside. She was a shining example of humbleness, confidence, creativity, and dedication.
As a wellness provider, Margie worked tirelessly to offer support to members of the Native American community, including her work as a program director at Inner Tribal Treatment, as an alcohol drug counselor recovery specialist at the San Diego American Indian Health Center, and as a facilitator for Wellbriety, Generation Red Road, and the Spiritual Solutions Talking Circle.
Margie was a mentor, role model, and community leader who will forever be remembered for her unconditional love and compassion. She found strength in her circle of support, which extended throughout the nation.
She loved spending time with family, including her daughter Brenda, and sons Bobby and Adrian. She enjoyed traveling throughout Native country with the love of her life, her genuinely supportive husband, Robert Anderson. Together they made a lasting impact on the lives of countless people. Margie lived an exemplary life that showed what it means to walk in beauty and balance.
