Anita spoke fluent French and took classes at the famous Sorbonne University. She traveled extensively throughout Europe before returning to Kansas where she then received a finance degree with a minor in accounting from Wichita State University. After graduation she worked in several different fields until she found her niche in real estate and property management.

She was an excellent bridge player, followed politics, devoured historical novels and the daily newspapers. She particularly liked completing the NY Times crossword puzzle regularly.
