COLUMBIA - Mrs. Anita Momand passed peacefully in her sleep April 4, 2018. Anita was born Anita Lillian Shuman on July 9, 1938 in Vidalia, GA. Daughter of Marvin and Lillian Shuman, sister of James Shuman.
Anita graduated from Vidalia High School in 1956. She then went on to attend Mercer University in Macon, GA, there she was a Chi Omega and through that, she met the love of her life, Henry C. Momand. They were soon married on September 1, 1957. They resided in Macon, GA for many years before settling in Columbia, SC in 1974. Anita’s greatest loves were her husband and her three daughters-Cindy, Kim and Christy. Her favorite saying was, “Charity begins at home, if everyone took care of their own family, the world would be a much better place.”
Other than tending to her family, Anita loved to read, watch movies and play bridge in her spare time. In fact, her love of books and history, lead to her career at the Richland County Public Library, St. Andrew’s branch, where she was a devoted employee for 23 years. Anita was also a very talented artist-she loved to paint, draw and sketch pictures of her family, nature and beautiful scenery.
Anita was preceded in death by her parents, Marvin and Lillian Shuman. She is survived by her beloved husband of 60 years, Henry Coleman Momand; their three daughters, Cindy Hudson (Chuck) of Columbia, SC, Kim Maness (Dave) of Mt. Pleasant, SC and Christy Edens (Zach) of Columbia, SC. Anita is also survived by six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren: Taylor Black (Jonathan, Savannah, Dawson, Julie) of Lexington, SC, Megan Maness of Greenville, SC, Rachel York (CT, Jenna) of Lexington, SC, Coleman Maness (Jackie) of Greenville, SC, Sam and Henry Edens of Columbia, SC. Anita also had two nieces and one nephew.
The family wishes to extend a sincere thank you to Dr. Chelsea Stillwell, McLeod Home Care and Heartstrings Hospice for their sincere support, care and love during her time of need.
