Anita Ward passed away Aug. 27, 2023.  Her life was full and busy as she creatively intertwined her career with her love of dogs.

She was a dedicated Realtor for many years to the community of Santa Barbara, assuring that her clients found a place to call home. She concluded her career with Village Properties-Santa Barbara Real Estate.
