Anita Faith (Wilson) Waldron, 59, of Blue Springs, MO passed away peacefully at the Kansas City Hospice House September 28, 2015 surrounded by her family after a long battle with ovarian cancer. A Celebration of Life was held at St. John LaLande Catholic Church in Blue Springs Friday, October 2. Burial was at St. John LaLande Cemetery.
Anita was born April 24, 1956 in Man, WV. She moved to the Kansas City area at a young age, attended Westport High School and graduated from Shawnee Mission North High School in 1974. She also attended the University of Missouri - Kansas City, Medical School.
Anita met the love of her life, Richard (Rick) Waldron of Waukon, at Houlihan’s and their first date was St. Patrick’s Day. The two were married November 10, 1979. Soon after, they started their family and settled into their current home in Blue Springs, MO, where they have made countless wonderful memories over the last 35 years.
Anita is survived by her loving husband, Rick; her three daughters, Courtney (husband Bas Rol and son Kees), Amy (husband John Benne and daughters Madilynn and Leighton), and Kate (husband Chris Teuber and daughter Penny); her sister, Susan Wilson; and countless other family and friends who love, adore and will greatly miss her.
Anita’s amazing traits and reasons to be loved are far too numerous to list here. However, her greatest legacy, and no doubt the one of which she would be most proud, is that of an exceptionally loving, caring, protective and giving wife, mother and grandmother (or “Nini”). She will be eternally missed, but she can leave knowing she made this world a better place through her presence, her example, and the inspiration she has left for those following behind her.
Condolences may be sent to the family at 1204 Westwood Drive, Blue Springs, MO, 64015.
