Obituary of Sarah Esther Strohm Cornwell


Sarah Esther Strohm Cornwell, daughter of Henry T. and Mary
Elizabeth Spanger Strohm was born in Darwin Township January 31,
1906, and departed this life on September 5, 1982.

Esther married Charles Wesley Cornwell on March 24, 1936. 
He preceded her in death on December 10, 1959. They leave
four children: Mrs. Reta Jean Cutrell, Wapato, Washington;
Carol Ann Cornwell and Lowell Cornwell of Melrose, and Hilda Faye
Cornwell of Paris, Il. She leaves four grandchildren:
Charles and Steven Cutrell, Rene Singleterry and Wesley
Cornwell. She has two great grandchildren, Gerald Thomas
and Jessica. Also surviving are three sisters-in-law, Erma,
Mattie and Kathryn, as well as many relatives and friends. 
Esther was a loving mother and a good neighbor who will be
greatly missed by all.

Esther spent her lifetime in the West Union and Melrose
communities. Much of her adult life was spent accommodating the
public as a clerk in Marvin's Store and the Cornwell's Dry Goods
and Grocery stores. Besides that she was always willing to lend a
helping hand to those in need.

She accepted Christ at an early age and at the time of her death
was a faithful member of the Melrose Church of God.

Grandma Cornwell

G is for Generous In my time of need,
R is for Religious In God she believed,
A is for Always She will be in my heart,
N is for Never We will never be apart.
D is for Dear To all people that were near,
M is for Memories She left all of us here,
A is for Assurance About heaven above,
C is for Christ Grandma truly did love.

This is about Grandma Cornwell, and all words add up to swell.
