Anita and James were married on August 26, 1947. Anita was a homemaker until 1988 when she started working for Kwik Kopy. She then went to work for Tom Clay's State Farm Agency until she retired at the age of 85. Anita was a gracious and caring wife, mother, and grandmother, and was very involved in her families' lives. She was an expert seamstress and loved working in her yard. She was full of laughter, loved to joke, and had the gift of encouragement. Everyone she met loved her. Anita served as Director of the GA's at First Baptist Church Houston for 8 years and was very active in W.M.U. along with many other activities in her church. Anita will be greatly missed, but she is wholly healed and living in the presence of her Lord for eternity.
