Anita Curato Obituary

Anita M. Curato, 92, formerly of Rumford, Maine, passed away on March 19, 2018, at the Fort Walton Beach Rehabilitation Center, after suffering through a long illness.
Anita was born in Rumford, Maine, on September 6, 1925, daughter of the late Eli and Marguerite Gallant. She was educated in Rumford schools and later worked in the Oxford Paper Mill, Rumford, the Diamond Match Company, Dixfield, and later, the Oxford Bowling Lanes, Rumford, Maine.
On October 7, 1946, Anita was married to Frank (Carm) William Curato, in Rumford, ME, and they worked and raised their family there. She was a communicant of St. Athanasius Church in Rumford. They were married for 63 years until the passing of her husband in 2009.
Anita loved sewing, crocheting and knitting, and made many beautiful items over the years. She also took such pleasure in landscaping her yards and planting her flower gardens. She loved living in their little community in Smith Crossing, Rumford. Later, in 1987, they moved south to Fort Walton Beach, FL. Anita was a quiet loving soul and she will be missed dearly.
Anita is survived by her son, James (Jim) Curato of Rumford, ME; her daughter, Linda Larson and husband Larry of Fort Walton Beach, FL; grandchildren, Lindsay Larson and Lance Larson, both of Fort Walton Beach, Lona Macatrao and husband Johnny and son Jonathon of San Antonio, TX; a sister, Theresa Clifford, of Marietta, GA, and many in-laws, nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her parents, Eli and Marguerite Gallant, her husband Frank, her sister Eva Barton, her brothers William Gallant and Ovide Gallant.
Friends and family are invited to A Celebration of Life service which will be held on Friday, March 30, 2018, at 11 a.m. at Davis-Watkins Funeral Home, 113 NE Racetrack Road, Fort Walton Beach, FL. Anita will be placed at the Barrancas National Cemetery Columbarium, Naval Air Station, Pensacola, FL, with her husband Frank.
