I am so sorry and shocked to read of Anita’s passing. She was a sweet and caring person and I will miss her…
Our neighbor, Anita, was a sweet, kind, loving person and we have been blessed by knowing her and calling her our friend. We are so saddened by her death and will miss her very much. She had many ailments and sufferings, but I never heard her complain. It was an honor for me to bring her Holy Communion on Sundays for many years. Eternal rest grant unto, Anita, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her!
Prayers of comfort to Anita’s family. I graduated with her from Plymouth High School. I also worked with her for a short time. Anita was a very smart person, but she was also a kind and caring person. I hope you all have good memories of her, until you meet again.
So saddened to hear about the passing of Anita. She was such a kind hearted person In our class of 1973. Always had a smile of her face and was a friend to all. Prayers and thoughts are with all of her family and friends. Hold on to your memories close in heart.
We are so sorry for ya’r loss… Have so many good memories of good times with Anita…. I’ll always remember her smile and laughter.. She cared about her family and friends so very much…. I’ll miss calling and talking to her on the phone… We loved her and will miss her… Love to all her family and friends…
I want to extend my Deepest Sympathy to her Family, I was a neighbor that lived above the hill on her road. She was a nice person.
I was shocked when I picked up the Hub. Anita just texted me she got out of the hospital and would call me when she was feeling better. Anita ran with Seneca County EMS and was one of the original squad members. She was Captain for over 25 years. She gave a lot of herself to public service. I came in on the second bunch in 1981. We have been friends since then. Anita was a very caring person. She was thoughtful of others always. I will miss our telephone calls chatting about the old days and the laughs we shared. She loved her kitty and watching the wildlife from her home. Many great memories and now she is with John. My deepest sympathy
We were very sad to learn about Anita’s passing. What a sweet & caring lady she was. Over the years our family had became close to her, especially after the passing of the love of her life. We always felt bad to see her struggle with the emptiness she felt. We will truly miss all our little chats & text between us, and we’ll truly miss all her personal Xmas letters & Easter & Bday & Anniversary cards we always looked forward to reading them, what a talented writer she was, she made you feel as if you were a part of her life. She took the time to personalize each and everyone of them. She was some very special lady to us and we will sadly miss her. Our prayers and thoughts
