She graduated from Connell High School in 1964 then Pacific Lutheran University. She taught at Meadowdale High School in Lynnwood, WA. Anita married Roger Dale Pederson in 1972 and although they divorced in 1984, their friendship remained until Roger’s death in 2010. Anita moved to Lewis County in 1976, where she began working for Lewis County District Court Probation. She retired from District Court in 2015.
Anita’s hobbies included reading, knitting, crafts, family gatherings and attending events for her grandchildren. Anita’s friends and family described her as “so sweet and kind.” She had a silly side she reserved for those closest to her and she loved to laugh. Her smile, warmth and loving nature is missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Wilbur and Florence Krug; and sister, Marcia Krug.
She is survived by her daughter, Randi (Pederson) Bieker; granddaughter Codi Bieker; grandson, Jay Bieker; former son-in-law, Paul Bieker; sister, Phyllis Hailey; and a few nieces and a nephew.
The family extends their gratitude to those who loved and supported Anita along the way.
