Henrietta was born in Dell Rapids, S.D., one of eight children born to Henry and Grace (Meinders) Poel. She attended school and graduated from high school in Trent, S.D., and later attended beauty school.

On June 3, 1948, she married Harvey Anderson in Dell Rapids. The couple moved to Grant County where they farmed near Barrett for many years. In 1970, they moved into Barrett. Henrietta was a cook at the Barrett Public School; she also cooked at the Barrett Care Center for many years.
