Goochland Obituary Lists Funeral Arrangements for Maidens Resident Joseph Anderson

Robert Mealy Funeral Home in Goochland is handling arrangements for Joseph Curtis Anderson, 89, of Maidens, with a viewing set for Friday, April 24, from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. and a funeral service planned for Saturday, April 25, at 1 p.m. at Emmaus Baptist Church in Sandy Hook, followed by interment in the church cemetery.

Anderson died peacefully on Thursday, April 16, 2026, and the obituary notice was featured in the Richmond Times-Dispatch on April 23. For Goochland families, the details mattered as much as the notice itself: the viewing at Robert Mealy Funeral Home gave neighbors a place to pay respects locally, while the church service in Sandy Hook offered a familiar gathering point in western Goochland County.

The obituary identified Anderson as a Maidens resident and noted that he was preceded in death by his wife, Hannah Cox Anderson, his parents, Joseph and Daisy Harris Anderson, and two sisters, Avis "Ed-de" Taylor and Bernice. Those family ties reflect a life rooted in the county’s rural community, where church cemeteries and long-standing funeral homes continue to anchor the way residents mark loss and remembrance.

Legacy’s Goochland obituary directory lists 135 local obituaries, underscoring how often county families turn to those listings to track services and memorial notices. Robert Mealy Funeral Home appears repeatedly in Goochland-area notices, reinforcing its role as a familiar point of contact when local families need service information, visitation times, and burial arrangements.

Emmaus Baptist Church, too, remains part of that local network of care. The Sandy Hook church will host the service and burial, keeping the final gathering close to the community Anderson called home.
