Anita R. Ware

Anita R. Ware, age 93, of El Dorado, Arkansas passed away on Monday, May 15, 2023 at Hudson Memorial Nursing Home after a long battle with Alzheimer's while surrounded by her daughters, sister, and Hudson staff members.

Anita was born in Fouke, Arkansas, on February 23, 1930, to Morris Wheeler Robertson and Connie Kazetta Guthrie Robertson. She graduated from New Boston Texas High School. When she moved to El Dorado to live with her aunt and uncle, she met the love of her life, Ferrell Ware, at church. She worked as a bookkeeper for Arkansas Specialty Company after raising their three daughters.

Also, her brother, Jim Robertson (Ruth), and sisters, Elaine Meadows and Annette Fisher (Ron), and sister-in-law, Marie Robertson.

Anita was a true servant of God who loved to sew, cook, and entertain family and friends. She was a charter member of Hillsboro St. Church of Christ where she served as a Sunday school teacher and elders wife. Her life was devoted to caring for others, and she continued her concern for others even during her long Alzheimer's journey.
