Anita grew up in Alburgh, where she attended school and later married the love of her life, Raymond Bruley, on December 5, 1949. They made their home in Isle La Motte where Anita's dedication to her community was evident through her many engagements, including her role as a Foster Grandparent at Isle La Motte Elementary, where she shared her wisdom and kindness with countless children.

Anita cherished her involvement in the Isle La Motte Historical Society and the church choir. Alongside her fellow choir members, she was an enthusiastic participant in the Grandmas and Grandpas Choir.
