Anita was born on February 14, 1956, in Tucson, Arizona, to Ronald Dean Robinson and Evelyn Ann Robinson Hickey. Proudly raised in a military family, Anita's childhood reflected the sacrifices and adventures of military life. Her family lived in Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Louisiana, and Texas before eventually settling in Iowa Park, Texas, where she attended Iowa Park High School. The many moves shaped her into a resilient and adaptable woman who carried those qualities throughout her life.On February 28, 1992, Anita married the love of her life, Clifford Wayne Michael.

She is survived by her devoted husband of 34 years, whose unwavering love, faithfulness, and compassion were evident throughout their marriage. Clifford faithfully honored his commitment to Anita, lovingly caring for her through both sickness and health. Anita often spoke of how grateful she was for his steadfast love—not only as a faithful provider, but as an extraordinary caregiver and devoted husband who walked beside her through every season of life.

For more than twenty years, Anita served as a private-duty caregiver, a profession that perfectly reflected her compassionate heart. She approached each person in her care with patience, kindness, empathy, and respect, recognizing that true caregiving meant more than meeting physical needs. She offered encouragement, emotional support, and companionship while preserving the dignity, independence, and joy of those she served.

Anita will be remembered for her quiet strength, resilience, and steadfast perseverance. Throughout her life, she faced numerous health challenges with courage and determination, continually adapting while trusting God to sustain her. She found strength in her faith and remained grateful for the people God placed in her life.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Ronald Dean Robinson and Evelyn Ann Robinson Hickey.
