Anita Mae Spitz (Bolivar)'s Obituary
Anita Mae Spitz of Bolivar, Missouri, passed away unexpectedly on March 17, 2022 after a brief illness. She was 69 years old. Anita was born on July 14, 1952 in Humansville, Missouri. She was the firstborn child of Harold and Barbara Spitz. Anita was a lifelong resident of Bolivar. She graduated from Bolivar High School in 1971. After high school, Anita worked at the old Dairy Queen on West Broadway before taking a job at Litton Industries in Springfield, where she worked for 25 years. In her youth, she enjoyed playing softball, fishing, raising calves, and bossing around her siblings. In her later years, she enjoyed reading, gardening, feeding birds, and bossing around her siblings. Anita was not a cat lady, but she did love to spoil her cats. She was preceded in death by her parents. She is survived by brother James Spitz and sister Debbie Spitz, both of Bolivar; brother Joe Spitz and wife Kathie, nieces Amanda Spitz and wife Tiffany, Bethany Spitz, and Delaney Spitz, all of Oklahoma City. We loved her dearly and will miss her terribly. Services for Anita will be at 1 p.m., Saturday March 26 at Payne Cemetery, Polk with Bill Moore officiating.
