Anita Sue Loman, 67, of Martinsville, Indiana, passed away on March 25, 2025, in Martinsville.
Born on May 14, 1957, Anita was the daughter of the late Raymond and Ellanora Metheny. She was married to Darrell Loman and was a devoted mother to her sons Nathan (Amanda) and Steven Devine. She was preceded in death by her son Mark Devine.
Anita was a cherished stepmother to Courtney Deglandon, Darrell Pierce, Britney Pierce, Christina Valadez, and Margaret Cervantes (Ramiro). Her legacy continues through her many grandchildren: Nathaniel, Kal-El, Isabella, Matthew, Annettia, Haley, Victor, Madeline, Mayra, Nayeli, Jose, Noah, Jimena, Ashlynn, Jacob, Noriah, Hector, Alex, Maeli, Remy, and Aurelia. She was also a proud great-grandmother to Alizah and Calliope.
She was preceded in death by her sister Gene Hackney (Rick) and brothers Raymond Metheny, Edward Metheny, and Wayne Metheny. She is survived by her brother Brad Metheny (Lisa), and lots of nieces, and nephews.
Anita worked tirelessly throughout her life. For many years she stood beside her husband in their paint and body shop business. Later in life, after completing her education, she served as a respiratory therapist at IU Hospital of Morgan County.
Known for her kindness and generosity, Anita had an infectious smile that lit up every room. She loved bringing family together for large gatherings and pitch-ins. Her intelligence made her the go-to person for answers among those who knew her. A beloved friend to many and loved by all who met her, Anita will be deeply missed.
May her memory bring comfort to those who knew and loved her.
A memorial gathering in her honor will be held at a later date.
Arrangements entrusted to Simple Cremation Indianapolis, 6904 S. East Street, Suite E, Indianapolis, IN., (317)361-4516.

Mothers hold their children’s hands for a while, but their hearts forever. Anita was an amazing person who loved deeply who I was honored to have known. I am so sorry for your families loss. What you have once enjoyed you can never lose. A love that deep never fades in memory, it only grows stronger in your heart.
My heart goes out to you and your family.
