Anita was born on July 21, 1933 in Goose Prairie Township, MN to John and Jennie (Walstrom) Swenson. She married Robert Haller on November 21, 1951. Anita's main focus was working as a homemaker, raising eight children. She was very active in her church community and participated as Director of several church choirs. Anita worked as an Administrative Assistant at Haller Realty, did secretarial work at various businesses, was an online school teacher and also worked with adults with disabilities at the Day Activity Center. She could fix anything that needed fixing, whether it be electrical or plumbing. Anita was the woman to solve the problem. Anita's biggest gift was being a natural caregiver to those she loved, and to many, a surrogate mother. She was an incredibly talented pianist, an amazing seamstress and she most certainly has set a world record for most sporting events of children and grandchildren ever attended.
Anita is survived by her children, Roger (Kala) Haller of Sauk Rapids, Mary Jo (Mark) Renier of Alpharatta, GA, Kim Streeter of Victoria, Sarah Lee (Gary) Monson of Lake Shore, Beth (Dennis) Butner of Chandler, AZ and Joel of Phoenix, AZ; son-in-law, Rick Ballin of Shorewood; daughter-in-law, Sandra of Sauk Rapids; sister, Darlene Uthus of University Place, WA; grandchildren, Beau, Natalie, Chad, Kyle, Michelle, Ashley, Chelsea, Brandon, Justin, Jennifer, Nick, Denny, Nikki, Rob, Corey, Joel, Taylor, Tyler; great-grandchildren, Chloe, Emily, Maxfield, Knox, Maren, Meridy, Reid, Patrick, Walter, Jack, Lauren, Isla, Anya, Ethan, Owen, Ella, Gwendolyn, Sloane, Svea, Ava, Julianna, and Joey.
