MARGARET B. ANDERSEN
April 5, 1918 – Dec. 20, 2015
Margaret Andersen of Vacaville, California passed away on December 20, 2015 at the age of 97. She was preceded in death by her husband Clarence. Margaret and Clarence lived in Vacaville’s Leisure Town for 37 years and were active in the Leisure Town community until their later years.
Margaret spent many years volunteering for the Vaca Fish Food Bank, an organization that provides food for people in need. Vaca Fish is an organization in which Margaret greatly believed. She shopped weekly and stocked the pantry for this organization for many years.
Born Margaret Beatrice Kellogg in Washington State, Margaret had a full and interesting life. Margaret’s mother died when she was 8 and she was then raised by her grandmother. Her family later moved to San Francisco. It was in San Francisco that she met Clarence Andersen. Clarence was a member of the Loring Club in San Francisco, a men’s choral organization. They met while Clarence sang and Margaret played the piano for a radio program in that city. During Margaret’s childhood, her father, Leo Kellogg, worked as a merchant marine. Later her father became a lighthouse keeper on Anacapa Island. The family joined him there and Clarence would visit Margaret on the island. In 1935, Clarence and Margaret were married and Margaret joined Clarence in San Francisco. After a few years they purchased a house in Millbrae and then relocated to Belmont, California. After Clarence retired they moved to Marin and then to Vacaville, California.
Both Margaret and Clarence loved to entertain and hosted many dinners for family and friends. Margaret had an unlimited amount of energy, was involved in many things, and always had an immaculate house.
Margaret is survived by her daughter, Sharon … and her husband Rob, of Paradise, California. She has two grandchildren, Elisa and Bryan … of Oakland, California, and a great-grandson (Elisa’s son) Stormy …. She also has a sister, Heather … of San Rafael, California.
Margaret requested no memorial service, but donations may be sent to Vaca Fish.

Aug 14, 2019: Obituary for Sharon Marie (Andersen) Black, Piedmont Funeral Services & Mountain View Cemetery:
Please join us in celebrating the life of Sharon Black. Our Beloved Mom; who said her greatest accomplishment was raising us kids and made everything special. Hard worker; a machinist, when not many women were. The glue of our People: Family, Friends and Neighbors in Redwood City and later Paradise…”everyone’s best friend”. Tender of the Earth; plants thrived under her touch and the animals flocked to her. Loving wife to Rob for 33 years, together for 40. Home was her expression, her art: a museum of history, craft and connection, where everyone felt welcome. We will miss her so much but now she is off to Rest, and we will send her with Love. Mom, you will Always Be in Our Hearts…
