Anita was predeceased by her parents, Ted and Marie Cummins and parents-in-law, Park and Dona Stimson. Anita will always be remembered for living life passionately. She was a joy to be around and loved entertaining family and friends. Anita enjoyed working in her beautiful yard, playing golf, shopping and spending time with her family. She loved to travel and together with Gary, visited many places around the world. Her favorite trips included going to Africa in 2017, France and Spain with her girls in 2018 and of course we can’t leave out her annual trips to Vegas.
