Anita Mickley, 89 of Cottonwood, passed away on July 3, 2017. She
was born on March 10, 1928 in Glauchau, Germany to Ernst Freitag and
Margarete Keppel Freitag.
Anita worked as an assembly worker for Eagle Signal Controls and
owned a farm. She became a proud citizen of the United States in
1965. Her biggest achievement was to become a “born again” Christian
after settling in America.
Anita attended Canyon Bible Church. She enjoyed reading the Bible,
raising animals on her farm and traveling to see her family.
Anita loved the Lord with all her heart and soul. For 64 years, she
looked after her Hermann with a fierce devotion and loyalty that was
beyond measure.
Despite facing hardship, hunger and potential homelessness during
her early years in war torn Germany, she never lost her lively
spirit or strong will.
Courage, determination and persistence became lifelong strengths.
Although our hearts are hurting, we have faith that Anita is with
her Lord and the love of her life.
Anita was preceded in death by her husband Hermann Mickley; father
Ernst Freitag; mother Margarete Freitag; brothers Erhard and Harald
Freitag and sisters Margot and Renate Freitag.
She is survived by brother Otfried Freitag (Ursula) of Germany; 4
nieces and 1 nephew.
There are no public services planned.
In lieu of flowers, please send any contributions to the Canyon
Bible Church, P.O. Box 2984, Cottonwood, AZ 86326.
