Elisabeth Anderson passed on peacefully during the night of the 26th March 2025. She had been ill for some time and was staying at a home for the elderly in Sherwood Avenue, Kenilworth, Cape Town.

She leaves behind her husband, Peter (Levick) Anderson, her son Peter (Robert) Anderson (1984K), and her her daughters Janet, Megan and Pippin.

Her husband, Peter, was the head of Bishop's Prep from 1970 until 1984. Their son wrote matric at Bishops in 1984. He is now a lecturer in the English Department at UCT. Their youngest daughter, Pippin, is also a lecturer at UCT – in the Geographical and Environmental Sciences Department

Their eldest daughter, Janet, teaches Art at the United World in Tanzania and their middle daughter, Megan, is a Landscape Architect in Cape Town

Peter and Elisabeth left Cape Town in 1985 to teach at St Mark's College in Jane Furse, Limpopo. Peter was the first Head Master at St Mark's and Elisabeth taught History and built up a wonderful library at the school.

Elisabeth left St Mark's in 1998 to return to Cape Town where she took up the position of Head of the Centre for the Book in Cape Town. Peter followed a little while later. After retirement she and Peter lived for many years on the coast at Kasouga, about 70 kilometres south of Grahamstown.

They then moved to Kenilworth where they were closer to their children who have lovingly looked after them as they became frailer.

She will be sorely missed by many generations of young people who were taught by her at so many schools including in particular Abbotts College in Rondebosch and St Mark's College in Jane Furse, Limpopo, as well as her many colleagues and friends at these educational institutions and elsewhere.

We extend our condolences to Peter, their four children and all their grandchildren.

May our Lord have mercy on her soul and may she rest in peace and rise in glory.
