ANITA DOCKERY Obituary
Anita Louise Bryant Dockery passed away from this earth on May 12, 2021 at the age of 87 years. She was born January 3, 1934 in San Antonio, Texas to Alice and Jerry D. Bryant. She was preceded in death by Richard Lee Dockery, the father of her five children, her brothers J.D. Bryant and Eugene Bryant and her son-in-law Paul Kniestedt. Surviving Anita are her sister, Janis Burton (Carroll), her daughters Debra J.

Anita graduated from Harlandale High School in 1951. She had a near 40- year career as an editor of training manuals at Fort Sam Houston. She was so proud of her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She never missed one of their sports events, recitals, school events or birthdays. Her hobbies were reading and gardening. Resilient, independent, and often stubborn, she was a role model for all her family.
