I had the pleasure of working with Anita at Grant Wood Elementary. She always brightened up the cafeteria with her smile, laughter, and kind words.
When I brought her a meal during her first round of chemotherapy she gifted me an angel. On the day I heard the news of her passing, I unpacked my Valentine's box to decorate my home and the first thing I pulled out of the box was Anita's angel. I truly believe it was a sign from above.
I am holding the entire family of Anita's close to my heart during this difficult time.

I’m so saddened by the loss of Anita! She was such a caring and loving lady. I got the chance to meet her at Collins for several years. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Anita’s family. I didn’t know her all that well but she had asked me to fill in at a state tournament and even though I normally didn’t go, I did because she was so nice and tomorrow me to just have fun! I remember her at a women’s tournament that we have annually, she was the happy go lucky one that danced and sang with the TouchTunes! I thought” she is enjoying her best life” and for the rest of her life, I understand she did just that! She is not suffering any longer and loved her life and did live it to the fullest! I am glad to have met her. Such a kind and meaningful lady she was! May she rest in heavenly peace.
Sincerely,
Jessica Bruening
