Nadine G. Cornwell

Nadine G. "Deanie" Cornwell, born Oct. 7, 1937, the 23rd child of only 19 to survive, sadly departed this life on Tuesday, March 15, 2011, surrounded by her loving family in Montross.
She married the love of her life on Oct. 7, 1953, the day she turned 16, and they spent 52 wonderful years together and missed him immensely for five years.
Deanie started working in the school cafeteria so she could be on schedule with the raising of their children. She retired from working in 1975 and took care of her mom until 1980 and then took care of her dad until 1988. She was the loving mother of William E. Cornwell Jr. (Darlene) of Mathews and Nadine M. Cornwell and Karen Maczka of Coles Point, beloved grandmother of William E. Cornwell III of Fredericksburg, Amanda Wroten and John D. Cornwell of Deltaville and great-grandmother of Brandon.
Deanie will be sadly missed by Bill Kissenburger (Pearl) who was raised with her, and lifelong friend, Charlie Quick (Carol) of Fredericksburg. She also leaves behind two brothers, William Arrington of Fredericksburg, Morris Arrington (Pam) and one sister, Christine Wiley of Woodbridge and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, William E. "Coote" Cornwell Sr., parents, Hazel V. and Marion L. Trice. She was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend who will be missed dearly. We would like to thank Riverside Hospice for the tender care they provided for our mother.
Funeral services were held on Friday, March 18 at Welch Funeral Home, Montross Chapel. Interment followed at Currioman Baptist Church Cemetery. Pallbearers were Mark Harrell, Henry Bonner, Charlie Quick, Ed Cornwell III, Stephen Andrew Kissenburger and Bob Uhler. Memorial contributions may be made to Riverside Hospice, 618 Hospital Road, Medical Arts Building A, Suite 201, Tappahannock, Va. 22560.
