Anita Diane (Tate) Cole (55), passed away on October 23, 2020. She was born August 29, 1965 to James O. Tate and Jann Winbush Tate who preceded her in death. She was also preceded in death by her brother, James Tate, her sister, Stacey Tate and two grandchildren, Cheyanne Tate and Zander Young.

Anita and Todd married on July 7, 2001, and they built a wonderful and happy life together. To know Anita was to laugh as she was always joking. Throughout her battle with cancer her sense of humor never diminished. She loved her family and fought for more days to spend with them. Anita will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
