Anita was a kind person who dearly loved her pets. I was unaware she had grandchildren. I do remember she had a partner and dear friend Jeanie of many years. I hope she is doing ok with the news. God bless.

Chris, I am so sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. She and I had such a great time working at the old First National Bank in the 70's. What an amazing woman she was. A real trailblazer. I am sorry I will be out of town Friday but will have you and her family in my prayers. Jennifer Nicholson
