Anita will be remembered for her wit, kindness, and genuine interest in others. She is survived by her loving brother Tim, cousins in England and America, and many friends across the country.

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.

May the God of all comfort, strengthen your family during this time of sorrow. Those who fall asleep in death, God keeps in his memory because they are precious in his eyes -Psalm116:15 - My deepest sympathy.

To Tim Gregory and Anita's Cousins and Friends- Anita gave -many if not all- a bright smile and her humor. She must of been an awesome Librarian - for she was an intelligent and hard worker! I wonder if our paths first crossed when she was a Librarian at Immaculate Heart College and I was working on my Thesis. Her smile in her last months of life was filled with a blessed assurance in her Faith and Our Lord's Promise. Be assured we will see her again in God's Heaven.
