When the children were older Anita enjoyed working in the local fabric shop and Shirley's Pharmacy. After Charlie retired they both enjoyed spending 13 summers working in beautiful Yellowstone National Park. Anita and Charlie loved traveling every chance they had and saw much of the United States together including an anniversary cruise to Alaska.
Anita had many hobbies. She created beautiful cross-stitch projects, crochet projects and colorful hand stitched quilts for her family.

She loved her husband of 70 years and she loved each phone call and every moment spent with her family. She leaves her fingerprints all over our hearts.
