Anita Rose Riddle

Anita Rose Riddle, age 71, of Jasper, Arkansas.

Anita Rose Riddle, age 71, of Jasper, Arkansas, passed away December 15, 2021, in Fayetteville, Arkansas. She entered this life January 21, 1950, in Denver, Colorado, the daughter of Fred and Hazel (Bruner) Mansfield. Preceding her in death are her parents; husband, Ervin Riddle; and a granddaughter, Alexis Mansfield.

A family person, Anita was most joyous when she was investing time with her family and spoiling her grandchildren. She enjoyed going on trips when she could manage, playing bingo, gambling, crocheting, sewing, and making gifts for her grandchildren. Anita was the go-to person for anything that needed fixing. She loved picking flowers and placing them on display. Looking into the eyes of the remaining family, you can see the love that has been shared. The emptiness in the hearts can only be filled with the joy of the memories made while she was with us.

Anita is survived by her three daughters: Lacey (Omar) Huerta of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Lucretia Dunn of Jasper, Arkansas, and Misti Riddle of Jasper, Arkansas; three granddaughters: Ashton, Destiny, and Summer; one grandson, Donnie; four great-grandchildren: Skyler, Major, Sammy, and Isaac; and a brother, Loren Smith of Texas.

A celebration of life will be 4:00 p.m. Sunday, December 19, 2021, at the chapel of Cremations of the Ozarks, 115 Industrial Park Drive, Hollister, Missouri. Arrangements and cremation are under the direction of Cremations of the Ozarks. To leave an online condolence, please visit www.cremationsoftheozarks.com.
