Nita June Stockment, 85, of West Lafayette, Ind. was surrounded by her loving family when she passed away at her home March 8, 2021. She was born Jan. 31, 1936 in Rensselaer, Ind. to the late Raymond and Edna Gish Victor.

Nita will be remembered for her lovingness, kindness, generosity, humor, determination, classiness, orderliness, loyalty and fortitude. She was an integral part of her family’s success, and her playful teasing and witty remarks made her easy to get along with. She enjoyed shopping, entertaining for family and traveling, especially to the family lake house in Monticello, Ind. and Florida.

Nita married Glen Stockment Feb. 26, 1962 in Wolcott, Ind. They shared 59 years together. In Glen’s words, “She was the wind beneath my wings.”

Among other positions, Nita worked at Eli Lilly in office administration for seven years. She attended Indiana Business College prior to working at Lilly. Additionally, Nita served as the first president of the prestigious Tri Kappa Sorority. God and family were her motivation.

Left to cherish Nita’s memory are her husband Glen, at home; a daughter Susan Sizemore of Battle Ground, Ind.; grandsons Tanner and Logan Sizemore of Battle Ground, Ind.; and sister Elizabeth Ann Harrigan of Greencastle, Ind. Preceding Nita in death were her parents Raymond and Edna, a daughter Lisa Stockment and brothers Larry and Jerry Victor.
