Anita found humor in simple things. The way she perceived the world around her often made others laugh. She enjoyed shopping and craft shows. Innately creative, her hobbies included playing the organ, embroidery, and ceramics. Always at the center of her greatest happiness and deepest sorrows were her family, friends, and animals. She had faith in our Lord and often talked aloud to him in her later years. Please hold her memory in reverence and wish her eternal peace.
