Anita was a loving and generous individual who always put her family first. Out of love and support to her beloved family in the Philippines, she was very generous, and helped to support the education of many of her nieces and nephews. She had a funny and feisty spirit and always making everyone laugh with her funny stories. She would often talk for hours on the phone with family into the wee hours of the night. She was known for making perfect Siopao (a steamed bun with meat filling). Her sweet presence and laughter will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
