Anita’s first marriage was to Dalton Lawrence Perry, known as Larry Perry. They had two children together, Jennifer Perry and Debra Perry. Anita left Ogdensburg at a young age and moved to Tucson where she spent most of her life in warm weather.
Her second marriage was to John E. Rideout of Ottawa, Illinois. They had a long and successful marriage. Together they had a child, John W. Rideout. Anita worked for Desert Diamond Casino for decades and was known for her kindness to all those around her. She loved to play billiards and was a mean shot.
