Anita began working for Carnation potato processing in Nampa in 1980 retired in 2008 as a Supervisor over the Team Leaders and computer operator. She loved the challenges of her job and the many friends she made along the way. When she wasn’t working far more than she should, Anita enjoyed camping in Hell’s Canyon, boating, fishing, swimming, traveling, cooking, church, Boise State Football and any activity that her grandchildren and great grandchildren participated in.  Anita’s favorite holiday was Christmas, if she wasn’t waking her family up at 4:30 am for presents she was inventing fun Christmas games to play.  Anita was well known for her home baked Christmas cookies and fudge as she baked for weeks, if you ever received a platter from her, you were someone special. Anita was most proud of anytime she could spend with her family and leaves nothing but beautiful memories.
