Anita was born on March 14, 1936 and passed peacefully on May 27, 2018 of natural causes. She was mom to four children, Steven Medeiros, Michael Medeiros, Debbie Perry, and Dorrie Simons. 

Anita was of Italian and Irish decent. She was raised in Canada, by her immigrant Italian mother. Anita loved adventure, and lived in over 30 states during her lifetime. She was a business owner and accountant before retiring to Florida in the early 80's. 

Anita was the most compassionate person, whom would do anything to help others, she had never met.  She was a champion of human rights, women's rights, minorities, and the constitution of the United States. She was a true individual - Bold, independent, creative, artistic, well read, and largely self-educated. Anita never followed the status quo, just to fit in. You always knew where you stood with mom. She will be greatly missed, and forever loved.

Anita donated her extensive book collection to the Pace Center for Children, and has established a charitable foundation for girls who need help. If you are interested in supporting this cause, the information is below.
