Anita was a good friend of ours. We always had a good time whenever we met at the Wooden Nickel, Patrick’s Lake, or the Community Center. I enjoyed working at the fish fries with her, babysitting Carrie in my younger years and anything else we may have done. She will be sadly missed as a friend and a member of the community.
