Anita Stanke Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
She was married to Robert Stanke, who preceded her in death just months ago, on February 22, 2024.
Anita had the gift of gab - she loved talking on the phone, to anyone, for as long as they would listen. She also enjoyed music and watching movies. The girls recall her giving nature, as she was always eager to send a donation, regardless of whatever her own situation may be.
Anita is survived by daughters, Maria Stanke (Jim), and Tina Michalec (Jaime); grandsons Robert Michalec (Angel) and Chance Gaffney (Madyson); aunt and uncle, Felix (Vera); as well as many siblings, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
Preceded in death by husband, Robert Stanke; parents, Reuben and Basilia DelCastillo; and brothers, Mario and David.
Skinner Funeral Home of Turtle Lake is serving the family.

Anita always made sure she called and talked to me over the months and years after Mario passed. She understood how lonely it gets even if people are around. I will forever miss our talks and laughter, her kindness and desire for all to be happy and kind to each other! I took these pictures August 18 2018 in Stillwater, WI, we had so much fun that day, never dreaming it would be the last time we were all together.

My Sweet Sister Anita, I never thought I would be writing to you like this. I always figured we would have more time to do what we liked doing, which was shopping at the Thrift Store. I will continue to talk to you every night before I go to sleep and I will always keep you close in my heart and mind every time i am awake. I miss You so much and I want you to enjoy your time up in Heaven with Bob, Mom, Daddy, David and of course Mario. I know how much you both laughed behind the sofa eating those Dog Biscuits. I still cant believe you two did that. Love You Always and Forever in My Heart............Until.
