  4. Bright Light Free Will Baptist Church has been blessed to know Anita. We, as a church family will miss her, terribly, but we know she sits at Jesus’ feet. She is reunited with her loved ones who have gone on before. We rejoice in knowing she will never feel pain or have sorrows again. She was a truly faithful church member and an example to us all. She served as our Church Clerk for over five years.

    She really loved and cared for her children. Her grandchildren held a very special place in her heart and she was so proud of them. She always lit up when she spoke of her family.

    Anita served many years as a caregiver to two of our elderly parishioners. Truly, her life was dedicated to serving others and to lifting people up in all of her earthly endeavors. Our hearts break, yet, we feel much joy knowing she is at home with the Lord.

  5. Mom,
    This has been the hardest most most difficult thing I’ve had to deal with. I take comfort in knowing your with Dad again. You were the best mother and grandmother. You are truly loved and missed. Rest in Heaven ❤
