Mementos

Laufey G. Anderson went peacefully to our Lord Jesus Christ on June 3rd, 2025, in Johnstown, Colorado. Laufey was born on May 3rd, 1929, to Sigridur Ingjaldsdottir and Gudleifur Porarinsson in Reykjavik, Iceland. She was the second of two girls. Laufey grew up in Reykjavik with her sister, Loa, and benefitted from her grandmother, uncle, and cousin being significant parts of her youth and young adulthood.  While working in a flower shop, a former teacher suggested she apply for a new position as a stewardess with Flugfélag Airlines, a fledgling regional airline that would grow to serve both the United States and Europe. As one of the early crew members, she experienced many firsts. One of them was life-changing: she met an American engineer named Harmon C. Anderson, who was working on various projects across the Icelandic countryside.

 

After relentless pestering and strategic advances, she married Harmon of Coffeeville, Alabama, on January 18th, 1955. That marriage sparked a cascade of adventures across three continents and six U.S. states until Harmon’s passing on February 17th, 2013, at the age of ninety-two. Together, they raised four children and cared for pets of all types. Her children—Omar, Macie, Harmon II, and Leif—proved to be a full-time commitment spanning four decades. Later in life, she worked in boutique fashion retail in Scottsdale, Arizona.

 

In addition to her children, Laufey had eight grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren, ranging in age from three to fifty-seven. She touched everyone she met through her talents for entertaining, cooking, and baking. She was also known for her put-together  appearance and characteristically fashionably late arrivals. She will be deeply missed.

 

A celebration of life is planned for August 2nd in Johnstown, Colorado. At a later date, an inurnment with her husband of fifty-eight years will be held.
