Anita G. Amendola, 102, of Muhlenberg Twp., last residing at Keystone Villa of Fleetwood, died of natural causes on January 27, 2016. She was the widow of Bart, deceased in 2002. Born in Fasano, Italy on May 27, 1913, to Raffaella (Sansonetti) and Pasquale G. Guarini, Anita sailed with her parents on her 7th birthday to New York City. Subsequently, she resided in Brooklyn, Jackson Heights, Queens, N.Y., Muhlenberg Twp., and Bernville.
After graduating from Newtown High School in Queens she was a legal secretary. The position of store manager of Pomeroy's brought Anita and her family to Reading in 1947. She was very active in the community as Treasurer of the Woman's Club of Muhlenberg, the Woman's Committee of the Reading Symphony Orchestra, and the Reading Hospital Auxiliary. She frequently modeled for their events.
Anita loved international travel, playing golf, watching baseball and football, sewing, ballroom dancing, oil and ceramic painting, and flower arranging, always with a smile and lots of laughter. Nothing pleased her more than hosting family events with Bart at their home. She charmed all who knew her.

There are three grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. Her sister, Gene, 94, widow of Edmund A. Gleason, deceased, resides at Keystone Villa of Fleetwood. They were inseparable.
