In 1925, the Heitman family which included two brothers (Ewald and Wilbert) relocated to Meridian, CA where t hey eventually acquired 200 acres of farm ground. Anita married Eddie F. Lang and moved onto the 60 acre property located on Morgan Road in the Meridian area where Anita continued to live until her death. Anita and Eddie had four children: Eddie F. Lang Jr., Lynda G. Lang, Diane Jaeger and Nancy Sandgren.
During Anita's life she encountered many challenges including the Great Depression, four major wars and she lived through four floods, the last of which destroyed her home in 1996. Anita could hardly wait for her new home to be completed and return to the farm that she loved. There were accomplishments that Anita was proud of during her life including landscaping Sutter High School and serving on the grand jury, but nothing compared to the love of being on the farm and the pride in growing things.
Her husband Eddie F. Lang and her daughter Lynda G. Lang preceded her in death.

Lang Jr. (son) and Cheri Lang (his wife), Diane Jaeger (daughter) and Jerry Jaeger (her husband), Nancy Sandgren (daughter) and Steve Sandgren (her husband); grandchildren Eddie F.

Our prayers are with all of you and we are very sorry for your loss. I always enjoyed visits with your mom seeing her often at First Lutheran. She was always doing something for or at the church and I know that her faith was a constant part of her life. I knew her through church and later Val met her through farming. He really enjoyed his visits with Anita and admired her hard work and strength. Anita was a very special person to all who knew her. We know how special it is to have a parent and grandparent for so many years and she was blessed to have had such a long and happy life.
With our Love,
Annette Huston Olenski and Val Olenski

My husband Charles (now also gone)used to tell me how, as kids, he rode horses with Anita and her brother in the Buttes. I remember her as a wonderful, kind, and knowledgeable lady who was always willing to help.
Anita was a legend in this area and she will be truly missed. Praying for her.
