Anita was baptized and later confirmed her faith at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church, Stanhope, Iowa. On September 6, 1968, she and Douglas Johnson were married at her home church. They were blessed with two children, Carrie (Johnson) Hanson, Denver CO, and Eric Johnson, Coralville. They were gifted with two additional children through marriage, Micha Hanson and Anne (Kollmorgen) Johnson. And with their children, they welcomed five grandchildren, Carter and Ella Johnson, Coralville, and Lukas, Olivia and Jon Hanson, Denver CO.
After completing training in Radiologic Technology at Iowa Methodist Hospital, Des Moines, Anita worked as an X-ray technician, an inventory accounting clerk, a pharmacy technician and parish assistant at two area churches. She was also, and always, a loving caretaker of home and family. She liked to volunteer at Church helping with Holy Communion and making cakes for funeral lunches. She enjoyed her family and friends, traveling with Doug, supporting her grandchildren’s activities, genealogy research, floral gardening and landscaping, trying new recipes and reading good works of fiction.

In addition, her brother, Ron (Shirley) Sealine, Johnston, a sister, Diane (John) Ford, St. Joseph MO, a sister, Joyce Sealine, Plymouth MN, and brother Paul (Mary) Sealine, Stratford.
