Born on March 22, 1984, Anita grew up with a vibrant spirit and was a proud graduate of Antioch High School. Her life was defined by two great passions: her deep love for her family and her profound compassion for animals. Though life brought its challenges, one truth remained entirely absolute: she cared deeply for her children and loved them fiercely with all her heart.
Anita is survived by her loving husband, Jerry Rayner; her cherished children, Olivia Cowan, Alexus Avveduti ( Dalton), Will Cowan, and David Milliken; and her granddaughter Adalynn Avveduti. She also leaves behind her mother, Kim Milliken; her sister, April Milliken; and her aunt, Liesa Hall.
Her kindness to all living creatures and her unwavering love for her children will never be forgotten. She is at peace, and her memory remains woven into our hearts forever.
