Born in a coal camp on October 22, 1934, in Mcalpin, WVa. outside of Beckley, WVa. Anita grew up in Woodbridge and Lorton, Va. Graduating from Mt. Vernon High School she went to work for The Department of the Army in 1952 at The Pentagon.
She married her husband Walter Randolph Carter in 1954 who she has missed every day since he passed. A strong and independent woman for her era, she had a distinguished 39-year career in public service. Once retired she found that she could not sit still and obtained her real estate license which led to a very successful second career with Coldwell Banker. She filled her life with her family and friends.
Services will be held graveside at Quantico National Cemetery Friday, December 2 at 10:40 am. Friends and family will gather at her daughterâs home to celebrate her life at 12:30 pm.
