Martha "Marty" Anderson

                Martha A. (Mansfield) Anderson, 88, of Oil City, passed away on Sunday, July 13, 2025 at UPMC Northwest. 

                She was born in Oil City on November 30, 1936 to the late Marshall and Helen (End) Mansfield.

                She married Paul Anderson on February 22, 1958. He preceded her in death. 

                Marty loved to go to garage sales and thrift stores to find treasures!  She was known as Aunt Marty or Grandma Marty to the neighborhood.  For anyone who stopped by, she always had snacks ready, usually chips and dip, and a cold Pepsi.

                In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by her daughter, Mary Jo Anderson; and her siblings: Jack Mansfield, Mary Elizabeth "Sis" Wagner, Theresa Mansfield, Kathleen Ward, Jerome Mansfield, and Joseph Mansfield. 

                Marty's family would like to extend their thanks and appreciation to the staff at Oil City Healthcare's Personal Care for being so wonderful to her over the past several years, and to the residents, who were like family to her.  They would also like to thank the staff at UPMC Northwest's ICU for their care and compassion. 

                In keeping with her wishes, there will be no visitation or service held.  Private interment will be made in Heckathorn Cemetery in Seneca at the convenience of the family.
