Anita Squires Obituary

Anita (Neets) Squires, born August 30th, 1937, passed away September 25th, 2022 at the age of 85. Anita was at home in Oceanside, CA, surrounded by family and filled with the thoughts and prayers of those who loved her. Although she spent the first 50 years of her life in Minnesota, her ""favorite years"" were in Cortez, CO. She retired in 2007, after 17 years with the District Attorney's Office. Her involvement with the Catholic Daughters of St. Margaret Mary's church filled her with purpose and belonging. She truly felt like a member of the community. Anita was known by many simply as ""Gram,"" as she gave off a warmth and acceptance that is unique to a grandmother. She loved many things, her family, her dog Lacey, flowers, holidays and mice (the cute kind, not the ones hiding in the cupboard) to name a few. She enjoyed the last few years in Washington and California, while adventuring with her Granddaughter Jessie and family Mike and Gabriel Guzman.

She was preceded in death by her husband Robert Squires, and daughters Kristin Squires, Amy Squires and Laurie Boveé. She is survived by her daughter Jennifer Squires, grandchildren Jessica Guzman, Paul Squires, Angela Ritter and Jordan Boveé, Nick Squires, and Samantha and Patrick Angell, along with several great grandchildren and her brother Paul Nicely.
