Anita was born on May 10, 1942, to Chester A. and Mae (Ingerman) Bennington in Dayton, Ohio. She attended Belmont Elementary School and graduated from Patterson High School.

Among other jobs, she worked for and retired from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. She was an active member and loved by her church family at the Brownwood Evangelism Center. She served as their Secretary/Treasurer.

Anita was a sweet soul and will be missed by all who ever knew her. During her final days at the Abilene Hendricks Hospital, the nurses and doctors all knew her as “The God Lady”, a testament to her strong and enduring faith.

Anita is survived by her son, James Brice of Jackson, Tennessee; her brother, Gene Bennington of Sunriver, Oregon; and her church family and friends. She was preceded in death by her daughter, Lisa Brice; and parents, Chester and Mae Bennington.
