Anita Christine Balderas, 56, received the promise of eternal life on Saturday, July 26, 2014.  She was born in Detroit, MI, on May 9, 1958, daughter of Carl and Joyce (nee: Tomblin) Balderas.

Anita is a graduate of J.I. Case High School.  She worked for many years at One Hour Martinizing on Main Street in Racine.  Anita was an avid pool player and was a member of the South Side Women's Pool League.  She won the championship ten years straight.  Anita also could be found trying her luck in the casino at Potawatomi playing slot machines and bingo.  She was a true fan of the Packers and loved everything to do with Aaron Rodgers.  Above all, Anita cherished her family and loved being grandma.  She will be dearly missed.
