Anita Ruth Conway

Anita Ruth Conway, age 76, went to be with the Lord on Friday, September 4, 2020 3:39PM in San Antonio, Texas. She was born October 10, 1943 to Carrie L. Beaty and Francis M. Hill in McGregor, Texas. Always loved and never forgotten, she is preceded in death and now rejoices in a reunion with her parents and 3 children Deborah L. Conway, Daniel M. Conway, and Sherry L. Conway, all truly missed.

Throughout her life, she worked as a registered nurse, accountant and waitress at the Smokestack. Avid collector of cross necklaces, old t-shirts and anything soft for her beautiful feet. She loved dancing to George Straight but was best known for her love of Elvis Presley and in some of her final moments she sang the words to “Love Me Tender”. She had a vivacious personality and you never had to wonder what she was thinking. All whom know her will dearly miss her wit, charm, grace and undying love and caring for them.

Anita lived a full life with tenacity, faith and strong will that has been instilled in her surviving children, Larry A. Conway, Tina M. Conway (Michael) Buckingham and Christina R. Conway (Tim Huddleston). She is a Beloved Mimi and Nana to her grandchildren Daniel L. (Christy) Goss, Russel W. Goss, Chryl L. Goss, Ashley R. (Todd) Wilkins, K.C. A. (Ashleigh) Conway, Faith M.N. Blair and her great grandchildren Bailey L. Goss, Breanna L. Goss, Braxton L. Goss, Paisley N. Goss, Cameryn A. Wilkins, Todd J. Wilkins Jr, Presley C. Wilkins, John L. Wilkins, Zaeleigh A. Conway, Braelee A. Conway & Kacen A. Conway. She is forever remembered by her niece Shanna D. (Bart) Salter, their two girls Lauren N. & Jamie M. Salter, numerous other relatives, and a lifetime of friends.

A visitation for family and friends will be held in San Antonio, TX at Porter Loring Mortuary North on Sunday, September 13, 2020 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM.

Anita had a long-standing relationship with God and was very blessed with his faith to her dying breath. Her favorite poem was “Footprints In The Sand” which she kept dear to her heart during times of hardship

One night I had a dream…

I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord, and across the sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; One belonged to me, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of my life flashed before us, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that many times along the path of my life, There was only one set of footprints.

I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest

and saddest times in my life

This really bothered me, and I questioned the Lord about it.

“Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,

You would walk with me all the way;

But I have noticed that during the

most troublesome times in my life,

There is only one set of footprints.

I don’t understand why in times when I

needed you the most, you should leave me.

The Lord replied, “My precious, precious

child. I love you, and I would never,

never leave you during your times of

trial and suffering.

When you saw only one set of footprints,

It was then that I carried you.
