Our Beautiful Anita Gratkowski, went to heaven with incredible grace, strength, and courage on February 6, 2022, at the age of 81 after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer at Lifepath Hospice House, Sun City Center, Florida.

Anita was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend who dedicated her life to building a home for her family. She loved working at church with her husband Dan, travelling, daily walks, solving crosswords and sewing. Anita was passionate about life and had a genuine interest in people. She had a warm, kind-hearted spirit and charming personality.

Anita is survived by her husband Dan, three children, Paul (Jackie), Mark (Elizabeth), Dina (Clark) Menard, four grandchildren, Kiley and Kody Gratkowski, Hannah & Gracie Menard.  Anita is leaving behind her a legacy of courage, family, resilience, and love. She will be missed by all.

A visitation will be held at the St. Stephen Catholic Church, Riverview FL Saturday March 5, 2022 at 10:00AM followed by a Mass of the Resurrection at 11:00 AM.

In lieu of flowers Anita requested that donations be given to the American Cancer Society or to the St. Stephen Catholic Church Building Fund.
