Anita L. Zajic

January 29, 1930 — June 6, 2021

Anita Lee Zajic née Tweedy passed away on June 6, 2021, at the age of 91 in Huntsville, Alabama. Anita was born January 29, 1930, in Altoona, Kansas, to Fred Tweedy and Stella (Miller) Tweedy.

Anita led a full and busy life. She loved music, dancing, and also to sing and as such was a member of the Sweet Adelines. Anita was a long-time active supporter of the Loyal Order of Moose fraternity where she held several international officer or committee positions within the Women of the Moose. She also gleefully volunteered extensive time with Veterans Administration Hospital in Fayetteville, Arkansas and with the Friends of the Library in Rogers, Arkansas. Whenever she took time out from these activities, she loved playing all sorts of card and family friendly board games or puzzle books. At family gatherings it was not uncommon to have cards, dice or dominoes on the table. She loved to travel, and in particular enjoyed wintering at the Fun-N-Sun resort in Texas. Above all else, she made good friends wherever she went. She will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her.

Anita was preceded in death by her parents, Fred and Stella Tweedy; her beloved husband of 42 years, Lloyd; two brothers; one sister; and three grandchildren.

Anita is survived by two sons from her late-husband Lloyd: Ronald (Eileen McCarthy), Derby, Kansas, David (Terinda Graber) Decatur, Alabama; step-daughter, Vicki Wideman, Wentzville, Missouri; step-son, Richard (Dick) Zajic, Iola, Kansas; eight grandchildren, Teresa (Mark) Atloff, Rae Lynn (Donnie) Moulton, Lisa (Troy) Smith, Cathleen (Randy) Bornhop, John (Mitzie) Graeler, Amy (Keith) Bruso, Elizabeth Zajic, Samantha Drotar; twenty great-grandchildren; and twelve great-great-grandchildren.
