It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the news that Anita Laitinen, age 60 years lost her battle with cancer. There are few words adequate enough to describe her strength and bravery. Her heart was always open, putting others first even while fighting the biggest battle of her life. For those who knew her, remember her boisterous laugh and enthusiastic personality. Anita is survived by her loving daughter Hannah, with whom she had an unbreakable bond with. She will be missed dearly by her lifelong best friend Rick Widenoja. Our heartfelt thanks and gratitude goes to the TBRHSC Cancer Care staff, first responders, Keith and Angela and Sargent and Son Funeral Home; your care and compassion was above and beyond. As per Anita's wishes, no services will be held. Online condolences may be expressed at www.sargentandson.com.
