She was a full-blooded descendent of the Wichita and Waco Tribes. She was also an enrolled member of the Wichita and Affiliated Tribes. She was born one of six children on Dec. 9, 1954, in Anadarko, to Milo Ross and Lorene Warden Ross. She attended school in Lawton, and graduated from Lawton MacArthur High School and later attended Rose State College. Anita became the primary caretaker for her elderly mother, with whom she regularly attended the Rock Springs Indian Baptist Church. It was at the Church that Anita was actively working with the children and young people, who looked up to her as inspiration and role model. Anita was a creative person who enjoyed the experience of creating both simple and challenging crafts. Her sense of humor was ever present and she always had a smile on her face and a joke to tell. Anita was a single parent to her only child, Nathan, and provided loving nurturance to him throughout his life. That same loving nurturance was extended to her granddaughters, who were the light of her life.
Anita was preceded in death by her great-grandmother, Wah-kits; parents, Milo and Lorene Ross; and a sister, Suda Kaye Dugan.
