Anita Mae Van Vugt (Kienzle) was born on May 13, 1945, to John and Emma Kienzle in Isabel, SD and passed away on January 18, 2023. When she was young, the family moved to Mobridge, SD where she graduated from Mobridge High School in 1963. She met Gerrit Van Vugt and they were married on December 6, 1964, in Mobridge, SD where they continued to live and raise their six children.
Throughout her life she held multiple jobs and was known for her hard work ethic and her no nonsense attitude. Outside of work she loved spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She enjoyed drinking coffee, playing cards, baking, sewing, and embroidery. Anita was one of a kind with an infectious laugh and will be remembered for being Gramma Nita to so many.
