Violet Elaine Anderson was born the daughter of Irvin and Violet Barrere on August 31, 1944 in Savannah, Georgia, while her dad was in the military service. They later moved to the family ranch near Ekalaka Montana and she began school at the local Schofield county school house and then attended schools in Baker Montana, Ekalaka and Miles City Montana where she graduated with the class of 1962 from Custer County High School.

She was united in marriage to Lyle Anderson on August 21, 1963 in Lindsay Montana.. Following their wedding ceremony the couple moved to College Place, Washington where Lyle finished college. They then moved to Boise, Idaho, and from there onto Missoula Montana where their son Brent was born in 1966.

During those years, Elaine was a member of the Clear Creek Homemakers Club, director of the Seventh Day Adventist Community Services Center in Glendive and held other offices in the Glendive Seventh Day Adventist Church. One of her greatest joys was visiting and encouraging her elderly friends.
