Nancy Cornwell
d. June 7, 2010
Nancy Paige Dunn Cornwell, left this Earth on June 7, 2010 to be with her Mom, Dad, son and other loved ones in the heavenly home prepared for her by Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who suffered and died so her sins would be forgiven.
She was born on May 19, 1950 to Catherine Belle Edwards Dunn and Robert James Dunn, Jr. She attended Drewryville Elementary School, Southampton High School, and in 1972 graduated from Longwood College with a BS Degree in K-12 Art Education. She taught at Sussex Central High School, Southampton Academy, the Central State Hospital Adolescent Program, and the Merrimac Juvenile Detention School. In every location, she was privileged to work with an exceptional staff who made it a pleasure instead of a job. She retired due to illness in 2007.
She will be missed by Ron Cornwell, their two children, Ashley Paige Cornwell, Christopher Darden Cornwell and his wife, Melissa Wheeler Cornwell and her two grandchildren, Christopher, Jr. and Matthew Tristan, who are two of the most awesome children in the world. She is predeceased by her firstborn, Matthew Jason.
She was a member of Millfield Baptist Church and also attended Sedley Baptist Church. She was fortunate to be surrounded by friends and relatives who visited, transported, comforted, encouraged, and sustained her on both good days and bad.
Her family will be at Millfield Baptist Church from 7-9PM on Thursday evening and other times at the residence of Chris and Melissa Cornwell at 16104 Mission Church Road in Ivor. The funeral will be held at Millfield Baptist Church on Friday, June 11, 2010 at 1:30PM conducted by Rev. Jay Butcher and Rev. Lewis Harris. Burial will follow in the church cemetery. Memorial donations may be made to Millfield Baptist Church, 31389 Millfield Rd., Wakefield, VA 23888 or to Ralph H. Hrubam, MD, Johns Hopkins Medical Institute, 401 North Broadway, Weinberg, 2242, Baltimore, MD 21231-2410. The family is being served by the Purviance Chapel of J.T. Morriss & Son Funeral Home in Wakefield. Condolences may be posted at www.jtmorriss.com
