There is a Hole in my Heart

While running my fingers over her gold necklace and listening to the muffled sobs of my grandpa, in Grandma's memory, I wrote her this obituary:

Anita Louise Pritt was born May 1, 1942 to Charlie and Louise Voeltz, and passed away at her home August 17, 2010. She married her best friend and the biggest adventure of her life, Robert Eldon Pritt, on September 14, 1964 in the Salt Lake City, Utah Temple.

Anita loved life, and spent her days searching for laughs and seeking to share her love. Willing to try anything from back packing the Washington coast, ATV riding around her property in Duchesne, or trying to keep up with her grandchildren running around New York, she was always excited to go and do as fast as she could—also evident in “Lead Foot Hannah’s” speedometer. Family was always Anita’s priority, from days absorbed in genealogy work to the creation of her own legacy showing unconditional love to her husband, children and grandchildren.

She was always active in her church and willingly served as often as she could. She enjoyed her work in the Lab, fishing on the lake, and sneaking in a midnight game of poker.

Anita is survived by her husband, Robert; daughter, Kimberly Staker (Mark); Son, David (Jennifer); Son, Joel; Mother, Louise Voeltz; Sister, Nedra Robins; 18 grandchildren; and lots of cousins, nieces, and nephews. She was preceded in death by her father, Charlie Voeltz.
We all love her dearly and miss her greatly. She filled our lives with love and happiness.

A viewing will be held Friday, August 20, 2010 at Larkin Mortuary, 260 E. South Temple, SLC, Ut. from 6pm-7:30.Funeral services will be held Saturday, August 21, 2010 at the West Bountiful chapel, 1750 N. 900 W., West Bountiful, Ut. at noon.

I Miss You So Much.

I Love You.
