Stella Cornelius, prominent Australian peace activist has died at 91, leaving the message to "Create centres of loving kindness wherever you go".

Ms Cornelius was co-founder of the Conflict Resolution Network which encouraged training in alternative dispute resolution across many sectors.

She was recognised for her work with an Order of Australia, an Honorary Doctorate from Macquarie University and the title of "Peace Messenger" awarded by the United Nations. She was also acclaimed for her work by Nelson Mandela in 2000.

Her legacy is appreciated by those of us who follow her.
