Anita Idiculla, 39, went to be with our Heavenly Father on March 7, 2021, in Los Angeles, CA.

Anita was born May 21, 1981, in Philadelphia, PA., to Drs. Alexander and Anne A. Idiculla.  Anita lived in Philadelphia until moving to California in 1999 to attend Stanford University.  She received her BA in 2003 and M.Ed. in 2004. Anita’s career began at Tollin/Robins, followed by several years at both Warner Brothers and Nickelodeon.  Anita continued her education at UCLA Anderson School of Management.  She attended the London Business School International Exchange Program before receiving her MBA in 2013.  After graduation, Anita joined Mattel Inc. as a Senior Marketing Manager for their Games Global Brand Team. Anita’s career was singularly focused on creating content and products that brought joy to so many.

From an early age, it was clear that Anita could accomplish anything she set her mind to do. She loved spending time with her friends and family and always remained a kid at heart.  She was a member of Bel-Air Presbyterian Church and dedicated years of service to their youth programs.  Anita was a lifelong voracious reader and co-founded a literary society in 2007. She was an avid pop culture aficionado, karaoke legend, and a genius meme creator.  She was a strong advocate for women’s rights and loved animals, especially unicorns and kittens.  Anita spent every moment she could attending live music concerts and traveling the world. Anita loved and was loved by so many people lucky enough to cross her path.  It’s impossible to think of Anita without smiling and her loss will be felt throughout the many communities she brought together and improved with her presence.

Anita is reunited for eternity with her father Dr. Alexander Idiculla who pre-deceased Anita in 1982.  She is survived by her mother, Anne; brothers, Rajiv and Anil; sister-in-law, Elizabeth (Loughran) and nephews, Alexander and Kellan.

Due to COVID-19 protocols, a small service will be held on March 20, 2021 for immediate family only at the Halverson, Stone & Myers Mortuary in Torrance, CA. The service will be live-streamed via a Zoom link provided on AnitaForever.com.  Interment in Philadelphia will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the organizations listed on AnitaForever.com.
