ANITA CLAY KORNFELD, 84, of Palm Desert died March 17, 2012 in Palm Desert. Born to Harry Walker and Anita Reynolds Walker, Anita passed away surrounded by son Edwin (Johnson), daughters Melissa (Luce) and Marcia (Clay) [mother of grandson Nicholas], and husband John Kornfeld.
A world traveler and writer, Anita is remembered by her first semi-autobiographical novel “In a Bluebird’s Eye” (published by Holt, Rinehart & Winston) and her three-generational saga “Vintage” about a Napa Valley wine grower’s family (published by Simon & Schuster and Bantam).
A gifted writing teacher and lecturer, a woman who loved life and lived it to the fullest, Anita was a “force of nature” who continues to inspire her family and friends and those who knew her.
In lieu of flowers, please donate in her name to Planned Parenthood or to another organization that supports women’s rights.
There will be a memorial gathering in her honor at a later date.
