She began her education at Rock River All-Age School and graduated from Mitchell’s Hill All-Age School. After graduating, she entered the workforce as a self-employed caregiver, nurturing the children she cared for and creating family-like bonds with her employers.

Ann will also be fondly remembered by a host of close friends, extended family, and adopted relatives, all of whom will cherish her memory. Anita’s life was a testament to love, persistence, and an unwavering commitment to others. She would have given the world for her children and family. A devoted reader of the Bible, she began each day by sharing a verse. Anita was a loving soul who found joy in helping those in need and had a deep passion for cooking and sharing meals. She will be remembered as a devoted mother and aunt, a loving daughter, and a faithfu friend. We celebrate her life and legacy, and. we will forever hold her memory in our hearts.
