Nina Marie, daughter of Dorwin and Dorothy (Moore) Cornwell, was born, August 27, 1954, in Brookfield.  On September 1, 1972, she married Donald Bingham.

Throughout the years Nina worked at Esry’s IGA, Walsworth Publishing Company, where she was a Master Printer, and Walmart in Brookfield.  She worked hard to provide for her family and many of those years she worked two jobs at the same time.

She was a member of Laclede United Methodist Church and later transferred her membership to Trinity United Methodist Church in Brookfield.  She was a longtime member and officer for Eagles Auxiliary #2463 in Brookfield.

Survivors include her husband, Donald of the home; three daughters, Kim Grienke and husband, Chuck of St. Charles, Jamie Matheney and husband, Todd of Buffalo, and Kristy Sherwood and husband, Jason of Wellsville; five grandchildren, Nicolas Matheney, Hannah Matheney, Cole Grienke, Albert Sherwood, and Jonathan Sherwood; brother-in-law, Gary Bingham; and several aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents; stepfather, Ray Hoselton; two brothers, Donald Cornwell and Gary Cornwell; one brother-in-law, Ken Bingham; and one sister-in-law, Dorothy Bingham.

Nina was a friendly loving person who accepted everyone without judging. She gave more than she ever received and loved with all she had. She had an infectious smile and gave the most amazing hugs. Nina could make something from nothing. She enjoyed snagging, farming, the state fair, concerts, and dancing. But her family, friends, and faith were most important.
