Anita Frances Benson Nodtvedt, 89, formerly of Charlotte NC passed away peacefully on August 12, 2020 at Somerby Assisted Living in Mt. Pleasant SC.

Anita was born April 25, 1931 in Montreal Quebec, Canada, the daughter of the late William Cecil Benson and the late Ruah Mairs Benson. After completing secretarial school she married John Martin Nodtvedt and as a devoted mother she raised her children Paul and Kristine in St. Bruno, Quebec Canada.
In 1969 the family moved to Charlotte NC. She and John were among the first members of St. John's Episcopal Church. Anita's many volunteer activities included serving in the office and on the altar guild. Anita worked over 20 years for Home Insurance ultimately becoming the branch executive secretary.

After John's death, Anita met and married Forest Brinson at St. John's, then retiring to Plantation Estates. She enjoyed friends and many activities including bridge, sewing and crafts, also sending handmade cards to remember each resident's birthday. In 2014 she moved to Mt. Pleasant, SC.

She is survived by her son Paul Nodtvedt (Ann) of Mount Pleasant, SC, daughter Kristine Nodtvedt Dartnall (Robert) of Charlotte, N.C; five grandchildren, Matt Nodtvedt (Tayler), Anna Nodtvedt Haysom (John) and Ben Nodtvedt (Katie) all of Mount Pleasant and Adam Joshua Dartnall and Grace Olivia Dartnall, both of Charlotte, NC; and four great-grandchildren.

Anita gained strength, perseverance, and courage through her Savior Jesus Christ. She will be remembered in love by her friends, family, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

The family is deeply grateful for the staff of the Somerby Assisted Living facility and the medical professionals who took such good care of Anita.

A service will be held later in Charlotte; She will be interred in the columbarium at St. John Church where she joins her parents, John, Forest, and her grandson Andrew Christian Dartnall.
