Anita was most known for her tenacity, lack of patience and providing her opinion whether or not it was asked. She always told you the truth even if it wasn’t what you wanted to hear. But her passion and love for her family and friends knew no bounds and taught strength and resilience to all those who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her love, Victor Ferrara and parents, Russell and Theresa Gray. She was most happy fishing, taking pictures, playing Scrabble or Wii Bowling and spending time with her grandsons who she adored.
