While most people have hobbies, Anita had passions. Throughout her life she had 
many, She had her vegetable gardens, canning and baking to provide food for her 
family. Many a day her children would come home to the smell of fresh baked 
bread and canister of cookies. Anita had many years that she did quilting.She 
did all the sewing by hand and created quite a variety of quilts.

She and Dave built two homes from the ground up! All that have known of her love 
of her A.M.C. Cars and Car club. She and Dave won hundreds of trophies, plaques 
and various awards, with their cars, which are proudly displayed through out 
their home. She loved Nascar! Sitting by the radio rooting on her drivers long 
before the races were regularly broadcasted on Television. Her collections of 
Teapots is enormous! How many times we've all heard her say that she had room 
for no more only to be shown a new one during the next visit. Avid not even 
describe the type of reader she was. She never forgot anything that she read 
either.
