PRIOR LAKE, MN — With profound sorrow and heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Carrie Lee Anderson on July 1st, 2025, following a courageous and dignified battle with cancer. Carrie faced her illness with strength, grace, and a quiet determination that inspired everyone around her. Her passing leaves a deep and lasting void in the lives of all who knew and loved her.

Carrie was best known for her quick wit, nurturing spirit, and unshakable devotion to her family. She brought light into every room she entered and could lift others with just her words and her smile. Her laugh was unmistakable—warm and full of life—and her ability to make people feel valued and seen was one of her most treasured gifts.

At the center of Carrie’s life were her husband, Jason, and their beloved son, Chase. She often spoke of them as her greatest joys and her strongest motivations. Whether cheering Chase on at school events or sharing quiet evenings at home with Jason, Carrie found profound happiness in the simplest moments shared with her family.

Her role as a wife and mother was not just something she cherished—it was something she excelled at. Her love for Jason was deep and enduring, built on friendship, faith, and years of shared experiences. Her bond with Chase was unbreakable; he was the pride of her life, and she nurtured him with unwavering support, love, and encouragement.

Carrie’s journey with cancer was marked by tremendous resilience. Even in the face of pain and uncertainty, she continued to think of others—checking in on friends, offering comfort to fellow patients, and ensuring her loved ones were taken care of. She taught us all what true courage looks like: not in the absence of fear, but in rising each day with hope and purpose.

A Community Rallies in Love and Support

As Jason and Chase now face the unimaginable challenge of life without Carrie, friends and loved ones have come together to support them during this painful transition. A fund has been set up to assist with funeral expenses and help ease the financial burden of this tremendous loss.

Honoring a Legacy of Love and Kindness

Carrie’s memory will live on in countless ways—in Jason’s unwavering strength, in Chase’s smile, and in the lives of all who were lucky enough to know her. Her spirit will remain in every kind gesture, every heartfelt laugh, and every moment of compassion shared among those she loved.

Though her time here was far too short, Carrie Lee Anderson leaves behind a legacy of love that will never fade. She taught us all to cherish one another, to hold close the people we love, and to live with a full and grateful heart.
