I´ve known Anita since high school, stayed in touch over the years and one day in Walmart some years back she was the happiest I´d seen her in a long time, she told me she really liked the " meat man" at Walmart so she stuck with her heart and married Kevin who made her the happiest in life . We would see each other around town in different places , always starting with a hug or a good chat and ending with a " good to see ya ". Anita , your smile always said it all , you had a beautiful heart . I send My condolences to Kevin , her kids , her family and her friends . Rest in beautiful peace my friend, you will be missed

I went through all of high school with Anita. She was a very sweet person and a wonderful friend and has a beautiful soul. She will be truly missed by everyone. I pray that God will wrap his loving arms around her entire family, church family, and all her friends.
