Anita R. (nee LeVey) Evers, a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend who touched the lives of all who knew her, passed away on May 10, 2024. She departed this world peacefully, surrounded by love, and leaving behind a legacy of kindness, generosity, and warmth.

Anita was the beloved wife of the late Dr. William Evers, the beloved mother of Dr. Wendy Evers Gordon (Michael), Marcia Evers Levy (Joel), and the late Dr. Aimee Evers Kane (Howard). She was the adoring “Granma” to Alexander Gordon (Lucy), Joshua Gordon (Ashley), Robert Kane, Sam Kane, and Hayley Levy Kupin (Jacob). She was “GiGi” to her great grandchildren,
Timothy and Elsa Gordon.

Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Louis and Rose LeVey, Anita attended Temple University, served as a WAC during WWII, and a Gray Lady at Albert Einstein Hospital. She and her husband moved with their children to DeWitt, New York in the 1960’s, where Anita worked as office manager and accounts manager for several medical practices. She was also an active
volunteer for what is now known as the Syracuse Hebrew Day School, the Women of the University at the SUNY Health Science Center, and for many years with the Syracuse City Schools Student Mentoring Program.

Anita was a frequent traveler, first with her husband and then with her children.
She enjoyed the Syracuse Symphony, Syracuse University Drama productions, and supported numerous charities across the Upstate New York Region and internationally.

The family will be forever grateful to Sharon Glavin and her team at Help & Hugs CNY (Darlene White, Renee Fletcher, Geneva Fortune, and Victoria Queor) for the loving care and companionship they extended, enhancing Anita’s final years with love, laughter, and kindness.

Donations may be directed to the Crouse Health Foundation, 736 Irving Ave, Syracuse, NY 13210, to benefit the Steinmann Emergency Medicine Education Fund or to the Syracuse Hebrew Day School.
