Nita Flammini Obituary
November 6, 1946 ~ February 27, 2009
Sand City - Nita Flammini, a local artist and Monterey Peninsula native, passed peacefully, surrounded by her family and friends on February 27, 2009.
Nita often stated that her art was very eclectic, as was her life. Throughout her life, she remained involved with the arts in varying aspects as actor, director, writer, painter, sculptor and photographer. When she retired from the corporate world in 2006, she was able to devote herself fulltime to "Artography".
Artography is a term she created to describe her most recent artistic passion, an art form which combined her skills and knowledge of computer technology with her love of photography. Nita delighted in exploring her surroundings with her ever-present camera. She was gifted with a unique vision and a wry sense of humor which lives in her art. Nita's work is exhibited throughout the area and was chosen for the cover of the Monterey County Art's Council's 2008 calendar.
Nita was a loving mother, grandmother, artist and a beloved friend. She was also a spirited and strong-willed woman who recently said that she would prefer to be remembered as "sassy". Nita is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Jason and Dedri Raichart; her grandchildren: James, Justin, Brent and Sydnee and her brothers, Chuck Flammini, Chet Flammini and Jerry Flammini. She leaves behind many close friends but most notably her "Sisters": Shirley Fischer, Kathy Jacobs and Linda Smith.
Nita was a special friend with whom you could share anything. She cherished the time she shared with friends near and far but her greatest joy was her family. She believed that 'art feeds the soul' reflecting discovery, serenity, beauty, humor, and love of life. It was a joy to be included along the journey. We will miss her laughter and long talks but know that she is never far away as we will keep her in our hearts.
