Anita was the oldest of 5 children and she is survived by her sister Rosalie Jordan and her brother William Winkler and many loving nieces and nephews.
The family would like to extend heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to Ed and Eva Long for their unselfish dedication to the care of Anita.
Anita had a lust for life and enjoyed cooking, reading and listening to classical music. We remember her sweet loving nature and her great sense of humor. Friends and family were always a priority in Anita's life; this resulted in dear, life-long friendships and close family ties.
