TUPELO, Miss. — Billy Wayne Anderson, who founded upholstery manufacturer Style Line Furniture with his wife, Margie, has died at his home after a lengthy illness. He was 74.
Like many in the upholstery business here, the Andersons founded the company in 1969 in a small, makeshift building and built it into a major business with national distribution. Anderson was active in the business until last July, when he semi-retired.
The company's showroom at the Tupelo Furniture Market was closed Saturday during Anderson's funeral at Lee Memorial Funeral Home Chapel.
Anderson had a number of interests, including cars, and was a member of StreetRods Car Club.
Survivors include his wife; sons Phillip Anderson and Mark Anderson; a daughter, Tina Anderson; a brother, two sisters and six grandchildren. Mark is vice president of Style Line, and Tina is the company's workers compensation administrator.
