Fred Sterling Vanderburg
ODESSA - Fred Sterling Vanderburg was born July 12, 1920, to pioneers Ernest and Ethel Vanderburg on a farm south of Pampa. As a young boy, he attended Hopkins Country School No. 1, riding horse back to school. A 1937 graduate of Pampa High School, he participated in state track meets, declamation and was voted the most popular boy. He remained an avid fan of Pampa Harvester sports and could recount, play by play, the games in which the Harvesters defeated the Amarillo Sandies. In September 1938, he attended Texas Tech University.
Mr. Vanderburg was a farmer and rancher south of Pampa for many years. During that time, he served his community and country in several capacities, acting as a Hopkins school board trustee from 1947 to 1954, Gray County commissioner beginning in 1948 and director of the Highland General Hospital board. His passionate interest in the conservation of water in the Panhandle led him to serve as president of the underground water district No. 3 and District Director of Water Inc., eventually leading to an appointment to former Gov. Preston Smith’s committee of 500 designated to carry out long-range water plans for the state of Texas. Mr. Vanderburg was honored for his service of more than 16 years for the betterment and conservation of the farm and water programs of the High Plains.
A lifelong interest and love for young people led Mr. Vanderburg to support the junior livestock programs, and he initiated the first Buyer’s Breakfast in the Panhandle. He was especially interested in the spiritual lives of young people and taught the high school boys’ Sunday school class at the First Baptist Church of Pampa for many years.
In April 1981, Mr. Vanderburg married
Jessie Lee Wilkerson of Odessa and in 1990, they moved from Pampa to Odessa where he was the co-founder of Flo-Co2. There, they attended First Christian Church, where Fred served as an elder and chairman of the trustees. Recently, Mr. Vanderburg received one of the highest honors bestowed by the church when he was elected Elder Emeritus.
His first wife, Darleen Vance, formerly of Midland, preceded him in death.
He is survived by his wife, Jessie Lee, and eight children, Joy Rice and her husband Ronnie Rice of Pampa, Gay Kuempel and her husband Dennis Kuempel of Amarillo, Judy Cambern and her husband Kenny Cambern of Fort Worth, Fred Vanderburg Jr. and his wife Sandy Vanderburg of Odessa, Glenn Wilkerson and his wife Karen of Houston, Dean Wilkerson and his wife Carol of Fort Worth, Steve Wilkerson and his wife Kim of Grand Prairie, and Jan Nelson and her husband Tom of Bedford; 31 grandchildren, one of whom preceded him in death; 26 great-grandchildren; and a brother, Ellzey Vanderburg of Lubbock.
Fred loved everyone and was loved by all. He has now completed his earthly pilgrimage and come into his greatest reward as he has gone on to be with His Lord, Jesus Christ, surrounded by those who he had introduced to the Savior and the precious loved ones who have preceded him.
Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. today, Feb. 27, 2001, at First Christian Church with Dr. David Mindel, Dr. Glenn Wilkerson and the Rev.
