Anita was a wonderful woman...a great friend to my mother for more than 55 years...my mom would often talk about how helpful she was... even with her large family. They were a member of the Dogwood Dolly's...a bridge group alternating Tuesday nights. My mom looked forward to these get togethers playing bridge and catching up on family business. Anita will be missed greatly. Our heart felt condolences to All and his family.Randy Thomas

Oh my, what a beautiful lady to have been in my life. Although we
didn't see each other often, I always have the memory of when I was in financial problems, Anita helped me to keep my head up until all was good again. She will be missed by family, friends and the Town of Orange.

My deepest condolences. Anita was one of my first patients, since joining season's this past year that i got the pleasure to see on a weekly basis. Not only did i enjoy our Wednesday mornings together, I looked forward to them. She always had the biggest smile on her face and greeted me with a hug. And I couldn't leave without one either. She's a special woman and will be missed.
