Obituary for Anita Lanning

Our mother Anita Marie Lanning, 72, passed away Friday afternoon, on September 5, 2025 peacefully from cancer. She was born in Cedar Rapids, IA on December 17, 1952. She was preceded in death by her parents Wallace Sr. and Helen Anderson Boddicker, her brothers Wallace Jr. and Ralph Boddicker, and her sisters Alberta Ann Bradley and Angela Rinderknecht. She is survived by her daughter Alethia Paige Henry of Virginia and son Travis Jude Kramer of North Carolina, her grandchildren, Bryce, Ryan and Alison Weslowski and TJ and Cody Kramer. She is also survived by eighteen nieces and nephews along with her sisters in law.

Anita lived in Newhall and Atkins Iowa most of her life before moving to North Carolina, Oregon and then finally settling in Arizona the past 20 years. Anita was passionate about being creative artistically, with many hobbies such as drawing, painting and making beautiful art from stained glass. She has been a German Sheppard lover having three over the course of her lifetime. Her families history, love and legacy were very important to her and she treasured many of the family items that have been passed down from generations through the years.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Floating love, flowers and hearts mom!
