I still think about Anita quite often! Even though I didn´t know her long (she was my Avon lady at OMV), she made quite an impression on me and we became friends. Well, she was a talker and I am a talker so we just clicked! Always smiling, smiling smiling!! Even when life wasn´t roses. She was loved and treasured. Donna Colbey

I am so sorry for your loss. I just found today of her passing. I have dealings with your mom and Motor vehicles. She was the most kindest person I have ever meant in my entire life. Everytime I went there she always had a smile on her face. It brings tears to my eyes knowing I will never see her face again. I didnt know her that well but what i knew of her she was truly a blessing from God. Cherish all those memories that you had because those will get you through the toughest of time. My thoughts and prayer are with you. May God bless you and be with you always

I first met Anita as my Avon Lady many years ago . She was at Omv and I was at Data and we would meet halfway in the back parking lot to exchange goodies and chitchat. We would talk about kids and life and work. She is on my short list of world's nicest people and I know that heaven is richer now, but she will be sorely missed. Some people are so full of joy and love that you can't help but love them back.

Jared, Jessica, and Erica you all were the light in your mothers eyes. Anita I will forever miss your beautiful smile and personality. I will miss our 'catch up' conversations. After the tears have dried and the goodbyes have been said, all we have to hold onto are the happy memories that we've shared with our loved ones who have passed, this is what keeps them alive in our hearts and in our minds, and they will continue to live on, through us. My condolences. Co-worker/friend - Accent Maintenance & Motor Vehicles

I am so sadden by this to realize time just passes us by .To realize you can never turn back the hands of time, to wish if you had just made a phone call or send a card will now be something I will never have a chance to do .But to read the wonderful comments that where made by the people who knew her makes me smile . I missed out on knowing a great person who will never be forgotten. Jarred, Jessica, Erica stay true to each other no matter what .God Bless You.

So sorry to hear of Anita's passing. I was her Section Manager for many years and I can say she was a wonderful employee and friend to many of us. For whatever reason God must have needed another angel to help him with his work. Her family should be very proud of her and for the for the many lives she touched. RIP Anita

Anita, was not only my co-worker she was my friend. She may be gone but she will never ever be forgotten. I'm going to miss hearing her say to me everyday "what you doing badness." To Erica, Jessica and Jarrett, your mama loved you all. OMV have lost a great employee, Anita was the one everyone went to she knew it all and she enjoyed talking with her customers. My prayers are with you.
