Anita Fay Taylor, age 70, of Panama City, Florida, went home to be with the Lord on January 9, 2026, at Ascension Sacred Heart Bay, surrounded by her loving family.
Anita was born on July 6, 1955, in Walnut Ridge, Arkansas, to the late John Henry Hill and Alma Jean (Knuckles) Hill. She attended Wausau Pentecostal Holiness Church when her health allowed and was of the Christian faith.

She will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved her.
In addition to her parents, Anita was preceded in death by her husband, Gordon Stubbs Jr.; her baby brother, Johnny Mac Hill; her sister, Patricia Phipps; and her stepson, Corey Stubbs.
