AIKEN, SC - Graveside services for Anita Woodward Brunson were held on Friday, October 3, 2014 at Aiken Memorial Gardens, with close family and friends present. She was born in Pooler, Georgia, to William Jonas and Minnie Lee Miller, and went to her heavenly home on Wednesday, October 1, 2014. Mrs. Brunson was predeceased by both her first husband, Everett Woodward in 1976 and her second husband, Jeff Brunson in 2002. Mrs. Brunson received her Bachelor's degree in English from Winthrop College in 1939 and her Master's degree from the University of South Carolina. She taught school in S.C. for thirty years, beginning her career in Lexington, SC, and ending it in Aiken, SC.

She also served her community as a volunteer at Aiken Memorial Hospital and Hopeland Gardens. Mrs. Brunson took great joy in time spent with her family, as well as neighbors, friends, and loved ones, all of whom will mourn her passing, yet celebrate her time with us on Earth.
