Marian Kornegay Obituary
Left to cherish her memory are husband - Glenn Kornegay; grandchildren - Kelly P. Carroll of Teachey and Joe William Powell III of Mount Olive; great grandchildren-Eden and Myles Carroll of Teachey, Tyson Carroll of Washington (NC), Wyatt Powell of Mount Olive, Levi and Waylin Powell; sister - Mary Lee Carey of Florida.
Anne wanted to be a nurse from a very early age and her life long goal was to make a positive difference in the care of the elderly and infirm in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. She worked in long term care while getting her nursing degree. In the nursing home environment, she quickly transitioned from floor nurse to director of nursing, then to corporate nurse consultant. In this position she was quite often referred to as a "miracle worker" by company executives and was sometimes in three states in a single day in order to resolve issues more timely.
Later, in her own business, she was vice president of Kornegay Healthcare Inc., GlenCare Assisted Living Inc. and Marian Management Inc. As a woman of many talents, she was skilled in cooking, planning large events involving food, sewing, home design and renovation, and was an excellent artist.
Mrs. Kornegay was a dedicated member of the Penderlea Assembly of God Church for many years after moving to the Wallace area. Her Christian values inspired many during her work career and she set the example in her Christian walk through life. She was always eager to share the joy she felt in her Lord, which was the major goal of her life.
A service to celebrate her life is set for 2:00 pm on Sunday, May 5, 2024, in Penderlea Assembly of God Church with visitation one hour prior to the service at 1:00 pm. Padgett Funeral and Cremation services is assisting the Kornegay family.
