Frank Anderson Jr.

“The LORD is my Shepherd; I shall not want…. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.” Psalm 23:1,6 Frank Anderson Jr. peacefully entered Eternal Life to rejoice with his LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST on June 23, 2026 at the age of 91 in the loving embrace of his daughter. Frank – affectionately known as “June” by family and friends – was born on August 17, 1934 to Gladys Jolibroe and Frank Anderson Sr. in New Orleans. He was raised by his grandparents Louise Fierce Lee and Nat Lee. June was educated in the New Orleans public school system at Booker T Washington HS. June was married to the love of his life - Yvonne Gant Anderson - for 57 years until her passing. To this union was born his devoted daughter Tracey. June loved the water and travelled extensively as a Navy sights-setter on the USS Franklin D Roosevelt and later as a merchant seaman. He would often say that he had been around the world more than 3 times since he had set foot on each of the 7 continents on at least 3 different occasions. June would continue in his affinity for the water as a career Longshoreman until his retirement. June accepted JESUS CHRIST as his LORD AND SAVIOR and was baptized at Franklin Ave Baptist Church. June’s favorite scripture was the 23rd Psalm which he prayed nightly with the LORD’S Prayer until his passing. He was taught these scriptures in his grandmother’s kitchen as a child and carried them with him throughout his entire life. His favorite hymn was “Tone the Bells – Done Got Over”. June leaves to cherish his memory his devoted daughter Tracey Anderson-Zenon, niece Constance Brooms, sister Roselyn Honore’, son-in-law Norbert Zenon, dedicated aide Quintana Jackson and a host of other nieces, nephews, cousins, family and friends. He was preceded in death by his loving and devoted wife Yvonne Anderson, mother Gladys Jolibroe Carrier and father Frank Anderson Sr. Frank will truly and forever be missed but will live on in the memories of those who love him.
