March 16, 1941 – Aug. 13, 2022
It is with great sadness but also a sense of relief, we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. She completed her earthly mission with love, faith, sacrifice, and endurance.
Anita was a devoted mother of eight children and raised them with faith, patience, kindness, and a steadfastness that strengthened her entire family. She was a true matriarch accompanied in her duties by her husband Sidney, who truly loved and adored her. They were a wonderful example of a loving couple who loved being together, whether it was sitting on the porch or watching a musical together.
No one was a stranger to Anita. She loved starting up a conversation wherever she went and made everyone feel welcome. She was always talking about her family, her greatest blessing. She loved gardening, sewing, organizing, and cooking. Her rice pudding and funeral potatoes were the best! She was also very frugal, never let a coupon go to waste and was known as the “Coupon Queen” in the paper.

So sorry to hear of her passing. She was a fantastic lady! Love ya lots Anita.
I had the pleasure of working with her daughter Emily. Though I never met her, Emily spoke highly of her Mother. Thoughts and prayers for the family.
I’m so sorry Emily to hear about your mom. I know how you feel. I worked with Emily and she loved talking about her mom and family. My prayers are with you and your family. Take care.
