Preceded in death by her beloved husband James Nathan Nicely Jr., her daughter: Renita Nicely, her mother: Marie Kohlmeier (nee Geisel), and her brother Engelhard.
Anita will be remembered for her giving personality; she would have done anything for anybody. She had a special love for her Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren. Anita often loved to be the center of attention, always looking to get a laugh out of the ones she loved. She will be greatly missed by those close to her.
