Elizabeth Hart Anderson, of Leawood, Kansas, went home to be with the Lord and her beloved husband on June 19, 2026. She was a cherished mother, eagerly awaiting the upcoming birth of her first grandchild, and a devoted friend. She will be deeply missed.

Elizabeth was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota on February 15, 1953, to Dale Richard Anderson and Helen Virginia Hart. She graduated from Mount Holyoke College with a Bachelor of Arts in 1975 and earned her Juris Doctor from Fordham University School of Law in 1980.

She moved from Santa Rosa, California to Leawood in 2001, where she and her husband, John, raised their greatest achievements, their children, Devlin and Judson. She was dedicated to the Leawood community as a member of the Leawood Welcomers and a devoted parishioner of St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Parish. Her Catholic faith was central to her life, even taking a solo trip to Israel in 2016 to immerse herself in the Holy Land. 

Elizabeth was full of energy and light. Her kindness was contagious and her smile infectious. She loved her Kansas City Chiefs and was often spotted donning her Chiefs scarf even after a tough loss, a true testament to her positivity.

She is survived by her children, Devlin and Judson, and their spouses and is predeceased by her husband, John. 

The Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 11:00 am on Saturday, June 27, 2026, at St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Parish, 14251 Nall Avenue, Leawood, Kansas 66223.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Purrfect Pets, a non-profit, no-kill cat rescue and adoption agency, or to Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic, a local clinic that provides support and guidance for those experiencing unplanned pregnancies.
