"My mother cherished spending time with her family and friends, forming lifelong bonds with those she befriended. She has many dear friends/sisters, some spanning over 35 years. Mom enjoyed long drives through the country and reminiscing about the ones she took with her parents when she was a child. Her favorite color was country blue. She loved reading and playing games, especially Yahtzee. And she made the best meatloaf in town!" - Katherine Adams Anita's legacy of faith, music, love, and laughter, as a mother, grandmother, and dear friend will be cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
