Anita R. Riblet passed away on Sunday, March 1, 2026 leaving behind a legacy of love, generosity, and dedication that touched many lives.
Anita was known for her joyful spirit and wonderful sense of humor. Her laughter filled rooms and brought comfort and happiness to everyone around her. She had a special gift for bringing people together, often through the meals she lovingly prepared. Cooking and baking were a few of her greatest joys. She delighted in hosting gatherings where friends and family could enjoy delicious food, warm conversation, and her welcoming hospitality.
She was also incredibly talented and creative. She loved to paint and had a vivid imagination that shone through in her artistic work. One of her most cherished talents was baking beautiful wedding cakes, which became part of many couples' most special celebrations. Her creativity and eye for beauty were especially evident in the home she lovingly designed, decorated, and brought to life. From the very blueprint to the finishing touches, Anita poured her vision and talent into creating a warm and welcoming space where many cherished memories were made.
Her heart for others was evident in her work as a foster mother with Bethany Christian Services, where she opened her home and life to children in need, offering them love, safety, and care.
Alongside her beloved husband, Ronald Riblet, who preceded her in death, she was the co-owner of Riblet Wholesale Enterprise, Inc. that distributed Martin's Potato Rolls. Together they built a successful business and a life centered on faith, family, and hard work.
More than anything, she will be remembered for the love she shared so freely. Her kindness, laughter, and vibrant presence left a lasting impression on all who knew her. She created memories around kitchen tables, at celebrations, and in everyday moments that will be treasured forever.
Anita will be forever cherished in the lives of her three children: Chay Riblet, Colby Riblet, and Chloe Riblet. She is also survived by her brother, Jim Martin and sister Keren Martin of Pennsylvania.
