I offer my sincerest condolences to the family. I worked with Anita at Gaston County Schools for a short time before she retired. Everyone loved her and she was always willing to teach you what she knew. She had a wealth of knowledge. I will always remember her and her loving personality. She always found the good in a person and never had negative word to say but always positive. She shared with me her faith so I know she loved the Lord. She will be missed dearly. Lavondra Mcclain
