Anita was born in Dallas, TX on January 13, 1949, and was the daughter of the late, Bud and Paulita Reily. After she graduated from Texas Tech University with a degree in education, Anita and her husband Don traveled extensively throughout Southeast Asia and Europe before settling in Lubbock, TX.

Their daughter, Trina and her husband, Josh continue that legacy still today. Anita was a longtime member of first Baptist Church of Mt. Juliet and taught children’s Sunday School for over 30 years.

In her later years, she devoted herself to the full-time care of her father until his death.

As a lifelong student of the Bible, Anita often shared the message of the Gospel with her family, church children, friends and neighbors. She kept a Bible by the front door of the house so as to be ready to share a word of encouragement to a visitor in need of a blessing. Her family and friends will be forever blessed by Anita’s loving spirit and example of Christian service.
