Prayers and hugs for Anita's family. Anita will be missed by many that she has touched whether they were family or friends. I will be missing my cousin. From the late night calls or texts when she was working on genealogy and wanted to share the latest find or help with working on a trail of hints. Then finding lost cousins who she hadn't seen in years like Kathy. The three of us (Anita, Kathy, and me would get together on a conference call going that would last hours making up long lost time and filling in the family trees together.
Kristen Bienvenu February 22, 2021
I love you Mom so very much! You will always be apart of me!

Anita was the one who setup my Facebook account for me.
Rita Hankey February 22, 2021
I remember when Anita and I went to Cloverleaf Elementary and we were at PE and I was chasing after her and I grabbed her belt sash to her dress she had on and it tore. If I remember right her Mom made her dresses and I felt really bad about it and she was worried she would get in trouble. I’m not sure if she did don’t remember. It was an accident. Anita and I were friends all through school and graduated together from a Northshore in 1978.
