Anita will always live on as someone who dedicated themselves to helping, and bettering the lives of others. Be it tutoring students when they needed help, or just having someone to listen to. My favorite times were our conversations about the history in her life and in the world around her. You will be missed greatly, and with love.
My sweet beautiful aunt left this earth but shall live forever in the arms of the lord. ✝️
Dear Ron, Sandra, & Gerald. I am so sorry to hear of Anita, passing. I worked many years with Anita. She trained me to be a waitress, and she trained me well. We became good friends, and I will miss talking to her. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love, Rachel (Collette) Burbank
Ron and Sandra, I’m so sorry for your loss. I know she meant so much to you. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
