Anita was so thoughtful and caring of others. She loved little children and delighted in giving neighborhood children rides on her power scooter. She enjoyed having children come visit her and always had a treat for them. Christmas was her favorite holiday. She planned all year for the gifts she would give the children who attended the family Christmas Eve party. She has brought much joy and happiness into the lives of her family and neighbors. She had a great deal of compassion and spent many hours working on projects for Humanitarian Aide for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, of which she was a faithful member.
