Kirsten Marie Anderson was born in Portland, Oregon on October 21, 1959, to Jack and Lee Anderson. She passed away peacefully in her home Saturday April 19, 2025, with Hospice Caregivers at her side. Kirsten was married to the love of her life, Pat Maggiore, for over 20 years. Sadly, he predeceased her several years ago. Kirsten was a Caregiver and spent many years as a live-in caregiver for several different clients. These clients became like family to her and she to them. She loved nothing so much as playing her guitar and making beaded earrings. She was a big Harry Potter fan, and she loved horror films as well the scarier the better. She had recently taken up drawing and painting. She loved family gatherings, and this is how we will celebrate her life, in a private family gathering at the home of her younger brother Mitchell. She is also survived by two sisters, Jonna and Tracy, and 8 nieces and nephews.
