I had the privilege of knowing Anita in many ways. I worked with Anita at Hamilton Health Sciences; and knew her to be always professional, caring of patients and staff alike.

Thank you for sharing such a beautiful and inspirational story that can give hope to so many. Anita’s letter and your pictures together are now treasured keepsakes❤️

I became friends with Anita while we were board members at Hamilton Health Sciences. She was a quiet, respectful person who gave deep thought to all the issues. When speaking to her one-on-one it was always a great moment to coax her into a wonderful smile and deep laugh. I am going to miss her. Glenn Gibson- Vice Chairman- Hamilton Tiger-Cats

Anita was a very classy and caring lady. She was a great listener and always had a kind word. She went out of her way to help people when they needed it most. She always made time and found ways to help people in ways that suited them best. She was always there for her family, church, Zonta and her friends. She always looked great and had a very classy demeanor. I admired Anita and found her inspirational. She positively impacted many lives. Anita made me want to be a better person. I can’t believe you’re gone, rest in peace […]
