Shirley Anderson

Christian

Shirley Anderson Christian, 88, of Richmond, passed away peacefully on April 22, 2025, surrounded by many loved ones. She was preceded in death by her daughter, Sebrina Anderson-Ader. Shirley was born on June 17th, 1936, in King William County, Virginia to the late Philip and Louise Holmes.

Shirley was a member of the Eastern Star, Mary C. Stewart 128 Chapter, OESPHA. She served as a Past Laurel Lady Ruler of Richmond Assembly, 122. She worked many years at Thalhimers in the accounting department and was an avid reader and enjoyed spending time with her husband.

She is survived by her loving husband, William H. Christian, Sr.; her son, Michael Anderson (Shelly); her two daughters, Arethea Anderson and Tracey Pritchette; (Larry); a step-son, William Christian, II and a step-daughter, Sharie A. Christian; two granddaughters, La Micha Anderson, one devoted, Unique Richardson; three grandsons, Kofi, Lester and Lavelle; several great-grandchildren, Amare, Alijah, Kamaya, Jett and Nola; a devoted niece, Wilnett Dawodu, and a devoted sister-in-law, Doris Nowlin.

Shirley lived her life with strength, heart and humor. If she could leave us all with one last piece of wisdom, it would be "Stay In Your Lane". Two scriptures that she would leave us with are, John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." and "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." 2nd Timothy 4:7.
