Anita was born on April 19, 1949, in Jackson County, Missouri. Anita spent her early years in Kansas City, Kansas, living with her mother and father, Buel and Dorothy Bunch, where she felt very loved and supported.
Anita graduated from Washington High School in 1967. She always knew she wanted to someday raise a family of her own. When she was introduced to Bill Bloodgood by her father, at her birthday party in July of 1966, she (and Bill) knew she had met the person with whom she would build a family. They were married in Kansas City, Kansas on June 16, 1968.
They moved to Spring Hill in 1976 to build a house and start their family. They were very proud of this new endeavor and the family’s achievements. Anita and Bill maintained a loving and supportive marriage of almost 58 years. Together they raised three children: Brandon, Jason and Brett. They have eight grandchildren: Mackenzy, Gage, Chase, Jeremy, Mason, Addison, Noah and Emery.
Anita’s life can best be encapsulated by five “F” words: Family, Friends, Flowers, Food and Fun. In her almost 76 years with us, she experienced an abundance of each. Anita was a compassionate spirit whose passion was caring for others.
Her interests included cooking, gardening, crafts, sewing and spending quality time with her family. Up until the end, Anita maintained her kindness, appreciation of beauty, love of family and friends and expressed gratitude for her long life, full of wonderful and varied experiences.
