Anita loved the Lord and was a faithful servant. She was committed and loved her family and enjoyed spending time with them. She had an infectious smile, laughter and wit and she enjoyed the little things like watching the birds outside her window and watching old movies with her family. She was an amazing mother, grandmother, relative and friend to all that had the privilege to know her during her beautiful life. The absolute strongest and most courageous woman with the most powerful love. Well done my good and faithful servant. She was a selfless Giver and we’ll miss her until eternity.
