by her loved ones.
Anita was born on August 25, 1930 to Roberto and Maria-Rosa Rieoumont in Pinar Del Rio Cuba.
At the age of 14, Anita gave her life to Jesus and sustained her calling over the next 77 years. As a missionary, Anita co-founded several churches for the glory of God spreading the word of Jesus in Cuba, Panama, and the United states.
In 1952 she married the love of her life, Estenio, and from that beautiful union their children
were born Eduardo, Roberto, Ana Elizabeth and Janet along with 12 grandchildren: Jessica, Kenneth, Jennifer, Allyson, Joycelyn, Jonathan, Kristin, Jessica, Brittney, Jean, Michael, and Angel as well as 11 Great-grandchildren with one on the way.
Anita was a prayer warrior, even when you didn’t know it she was on her knees praying for you.
She had a God given gift of encouragement and a way to unapologetically hold you accountable. She was an obedient servant of Christ and was an example to her family. She listened and prayed with you and she loved Jesus with her whole heart. She was an amazing wife, mother, daughter, sister, grandmother and friend to so many. She knew how to cook and dress with style. She had a subtle sense of humor that always made you laugh.
Anita is now home with the Lord alongside her Mother, Father, Husband and those who have gone before her. May her legacy and love for Jesus be a constant reminder in our lives.
