Anita Marie Delozier

Anita Marie (Pierce) Delozier, 81, of Martinsville, passed peacefully from this life on Saturday, July 27, 2024, while in the care of Meadow Lakes of Mooresville. She was born on February 16, 1943, to the late George and Mary Elizabeth (Carson) Pierce. Anita was a proud graduate from Lincoln Park High School. She spent the first part of her life in Michigan before settling down to raise her two boys in Ohio, and later moved to Indiana, where her sons both graduated from Martinsville High School. After marrying Don Delozier, the couple enjoyed spending the winters in Indiana and summers in Michigan. With a kind and caring heart, Anita was truly a selfless matriarch who was generous to love and help others. Naturally drawn to the elderly and disabled; it was not uncommon for her to open her doors for several people during the holidays and opening her home to them. A member of the Red Hat Society, she was a dedicated volunteer at Sycamore Services and selflessly went out of her way to provide information for the aging, elderly, and disabled. Anita previously worked as a Physician’s Assistant, was a past member of St. Martin Catholic Church in Martinsville. She was an excellent cook and she enjoyed testing her creative side making different jewelry arrangements of her own. Anita was a 1970s rock-n-roll fan, and she was sure to tune in for anything Elvis and Motown at every chance. Forced to decline with dementia over the last decade, Anita’s legacy and good deeds shall forever stand as a testament to the kindness and legacy that she has brought into this world. Along with her parents, Anita was preceded in death by her husband, Don Delozier, and sister, Caroline Harper. She leaves behind her sons, Brenden Peters (Teena) of Martinsville, and Dave Watt (Shannon) of Mooresville, along with her beloved grandchildren, Sam, Olivia, and Graham. Cremation Arrangements have been entrusted into the care of Light Memorial & Funeral Chapel in Monrovia. Father Jude will officiate the Graveside Service and Inurnment Thursday, August 1, 2024, in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, Hall, where Anita will be laid to rest beside her husband Don.
