Anita L Cornett

Obituary- Anita L. Cornett Anita “Nita” Lou Cornett was born Beverly Ann Moredock on October 2, 1942, in Cincinnati, Ohio. She was adopted by Lula and Haven Everill a few years later, with one of her biological sisters, Yvette. Nita passed away peacefully on Saturday, April 27th, 2024, after a brief battle with colon cancer. Her belief was that life is everlasting, and the body is nothing more than a shell. She requested that there be no funeral or sad memorials on her passing, but rather, just to remember her as she was in life…intelligent, loving, funny, and spirited. Nita was survived by her two daughters , Cynthia Ann Murphy and Melissa Dawne Cornett. She was also survived by her two biological sisters, Vickie and Loveda (formerly Yvette), as well as many grandchildren and great grandchildren. Nita enjoyed a long career in healing as a registered nurse after obtaining her degree from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio in 1977. She retired from nursing in 1998, moving in with her youngest daughter and helping to raise her grandson, Tyler. She lived with Melissa for over 26 years, traveling and sharing adventures together throughout the world. Nita was a creative person at heart. She made beautiful artworks using oil and watercolor paints, drawings, oil pastels and chalks, as well as finding another creative outlet in quilting. She also questioned the universe and explored the deeper meaning of life through various books, teachings, churches, and ministries throughout her life. She found peace in meditation and journalling. She had a green thumb and could talk just about anyone into raising an orchid, giving them simple directions for a very complex, delicate flower. She has a gift for making many complexities seem simple. Encapsulating this amazing woman’s life essence into a few paragraphs is not possible, but those who had the privilege of knowing her would understand how well this fit Nita: “The river flows from dark to light And so, kind friends, my love to you And though my ship sails from your sight It does not mean my journey ends It merely means the river bends.” ~Anonymous Dave Culbertson Funeral in charge of Arrangements Please visit our website at www.davesculbertsonfuneralhome.com to leave online condolences.
