Anita B. Winter, 82, passed away peacefully on Tuesday December 22, 2020 at her home in Lancaster.

Anita was born in Stettin Germany and emigrated to the States in 1956.

She was the wife of the late Charles R. Winter, M.D. who passed away February 2013. Anita was a trained x-ray technician and later became a full time mother and homemaker raising their 5 children. She enjoyed gardening, reading, traveling and spending time playing with her dogs. She was known for her quick wit, and hosting great dinner parties. Charles and Anita were very proud of the contribution they made through the Charles R. and Anita B. Winter Visual and Performing Arts Center at Millersville University.

She is survived by her 5 children: Rebecca (James Schmitt), Stephanie (Mick Owens), Victoria, Christina (Mike Richardson) and Charles Jr. (Sara Taylor Winter) as well as her 7 grandchildren: Cole, Tyson, Parker, Reese, Hayden, Sophie and Max.

Dearest Rebecca, Stephanie, Victoria, Christina, Charlie and Family,
Anita was so sweet, kind, loving and full of life.  I enjoyed every day that I cared for her.  Anita and I became very close… she was like a grandmother to me.  I’ll always remember her calling me Timberly.  I will fondly remember her beautiful smile and warmth.
Please know that I am praying for you all and your families during this time of sorrow.  Anitas passing leaves us hurting and mournful, but we have the memories and that will keep her alive in our hearts.  She will truly be missed.
If I can do anything to help during this difficult time, please let me know.
 
With Love,  Kimberly Rineer
