Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

Anita, you were such an inspiration for activists (in addition to the better known elected offices you served), you went all over the state & country as a volunteer leader for Clean Money Campaign Reform, US Action, and Pres of Fla Consumer Action Network & with organizers Juanita Fairfax & Susie Caplowe registered over 16000 voters here one year as Tally Voter Participation Project! You led with poise, patience & left time for young people you hoped would follow in meaningful community activism. Love Susie C & Dan Hendrickson.

Peddie as I know her is one of the most amazing women that I have ever known! She had a soul like no other! She will definitely be missed! Rest In Peace ! JoAnn and family!
