Larry Anderson

Andy Anderson

TUPELO - Larry "Andy" Carlton Anderson, 79, passed away peacefully at his home on Monday, January 19, 2026. A native of Pontotoc, MS he was born August 19, 1946, to the late Thomas Harold Anderson and Prudy Florence McCord Anderson. His roots were in Pontotoc County, where he played baseball for Ecru High School.

A man of precision, Andy completed exactly 56 years, 4 months, and 10 days on the dot in the telecommunications field; he never was one to leave a detail or day unaccounted for. In his downtime, Andy found peace in simple pleasures: tending to his lawn, enjoying the outdoors, and following Ole Miss Rebels football. He loved reading, especially Louis L'Amour's Western adventures.

Above all else, Andy loved his family immensely. On November 30, 1979, he married his wife, Terri Lautenbach Anderson, and together they built a home centered around family. He was a devoted husband and father who also found a special joy in being 'Papaw' to his four grandchildren.

He is survived by his wife of 46 years, Terri Anderson; his son, Sean Anderson of Memphis, TN; two daughters, Brandi Burch (Jason) of Marietta, MS, and Jessica Johnson (Rus) of Tupelo, MS; and his four grandchildren, Memphis Burch, Oxford Burch, Gabe Johnson, and Noah Johnson. He was preceded in death by his parents, Harold and Prudy Anderson.

Visitation will be held from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM on Thursday, January 22, 2026, at Mt. Vernon Chapel, 1716 McCullough Boulevard, Tupelo, MS. The funeral service will be held at 1:00 PM on Friday, January 23, 2026, at Life at Tupelo Church, 1195 South Gloster Street, Tupelo, MS. with visitation from 12:00 Noon until the service time on Friday at the church. Pastor Jay Carney and Rev. Stephen Drury will be officiating. A private graveside service will follow at Harmony Baptist Church Cemetery in Pontotoc, MS.

Pallbearers will be Larry Causey, Michael Martin, Dennis Lautenbach, Bobby Sides, Taylor Capocaccia, and Cole Wilkinson.

Mt. Vernon Chapel is honored to be assisting the family at this time. Condolences for the family may be left on Andy's page at mtvernonchapel.com.
