In loving memory
November 26, 1946 to June 17, 2024
Anita was born in West Germany in 1946 and travelled with her family to Canada, finally arriving in Winnipeg in 1951. She graduated from Gordon Bell High School in 1965. She was a long time employee of Holiday Chevrolet, as well as Dynamex Courier Service where she retired from in 2006. Anita was an avid golfer in both Canada and the United States. During her stay (25 Years) as a snowbird in Arizona, she became an active member of the Cottonwood Hiking Club and travelled many of the trails throughout the state. Her laughter and dry wit, and endless energy will be sorely missed by all who met and loved her.
Anita leaves behind her husband of 48 years (Blake), her son Craig (Carla), and her granddaughter Emma, her step-son Ryan, her brother Ted (Lydia), along with a host of relatives, friends and acquaintances who will deeply miss this gentle soul. The family would like to extend our gratitude to the Winnipeg Paramedic Services and the staff at the Grace Hospital for their incredible dedication and professionalism in our hours of need.

Anita, we are going to miss you terribly. Over the years we have had many great times together. I will miss your great cookies on the golf course.
Anita and I were paired up as golf partners 15 years ago and instantly became friends. Over the years here and down south we hiked, golfed and laughed together. Her kindness and generosities will always be remembered by those whose life she touched.
To Blake and her family, love and good memories only. Anita my friend, I miss you already. Hugs and kisses Robyn
I met you almost 48 years ago when we worked at Holiday Chevrolet we have been freinds since then. I cannot believe someone as alive and fit as you is gone from this world. You were the best freind to me all those years and even though I now live in Nova Scotia you will be dearly missed. My dearest friend Anita RIP until we meet again.
So sorry to hear of Anita’s passing our condolences to Blake and all family. She will be sadly missed ❤️🥰🥰
Blake over all the years that I’ve known you and Anita it was obvious that she was a very special person in not only your life but with all the other people in your lifes that the two of had contact with. You were a very lucky man and as result you will have many great memories of the last 48 years for ever! Take care!
Anita, I am glad I came to visit you in Az.
I miss you terribly and always will. You have been a good friend to mum and dad. I hope they are taking good care of you in heaven. Tell Rick to do his magic for the USA. We are such a mess.
I will see you one day. Get the tea and oatmeal cookies ready.
Miss you and love you!

Our condolences to Blake, Maretta and Doug and the entire family. So sudden.
We will miss getting together with Anita and Blake during the winter. We imagine no one will miss her more than Blake. They were such a great couple.
So glad we got to have Anita in our lives, even for a short time!! You will be missed….
