She was a wonderful full of fun Mom. She loved to garden and cook for her family and friends. There was always enough food at the table and it wasn’t unusual for people to just show up and eat! Anita loved hunting and sitting by the fire at the camp! Her favorite pastimes were FISHING, catching, cleaning, cooking, and eating the fish right there on the waters’ edge!!!
