It's with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Anita at the age of 65 at the Lakeridge Hospital Oshawa Ont. after a valiant battle with diabetes on Monday December 13 2021 with her loving husband Ken at her side. Loving mother to KJ  Otterbein. Daughter of the late Josephine and Tony Paolucci  sister to Frank Paolucci (Diane) Anthony Paolucci (Tracey). Special aunt to Andria Morris (Derek) Trisha Cloutier (Luke) Kimberly Paolucci, all of Sault Ste Marie, Deanna Paolucci of Ottawa, and A.J. Paolucci of Edmonton. Anita will be missed and fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews.

Anita was born, raised and educated in the Sault before marrying in 1987 and moving originally to Toronto, but always worked remotely and commuted on regular bases back home to assist in the family business.

At Anita's request no funeral service will take place, Cremation has taken place. There will be a celebration of life in 2022 .

Our thanks to Father O'Reilly of Oshawa, Dr. Kayssi, her long time friend and caregiver and the 9th floor nursing staff of Lakeridge for all their compassion and exceptional care. Memorial contributions to your local Diabetes Association or favourite charity would be appreciated.
