Anita was a spitfire who loved everyone. She enjoyed spending time with her family. Don’t you dare walk into her house without speaking; she was sure to let you know a thing or two about respect. Anita will be remembered as a child of God who loved the Lord. We can see her now sitting on an organ, playing and singing her songs. A woman of class and dignity, she will be missed by many.

A visitation will be held to honor Anita on Tuesday, February 27, 2024 from 5:00-7:00pm in the chapel at A Natural State Funeral Service in Jacksonville, Arkansas.
