Mr. Robert N. Cordell, 79, of Anthony Highway, Chambersburg, passed away peacefully at 6:50 A.M., Wednesday, August 21, 2019, in his home surrounded by his family. He led a joy filled and ornery life up until the end.
Born December 19, 1939 in Chambersburg, he was the son of the late Robert L. and Lillian S. (Bumbaugh) Cordell.
He and his wife, the late Bettie E. (Hovis) Cordell, were married on June 15, 1957 in Fayetteville, PA. They lived on Anthony Highway all their married life. Mrs. Cordell died on March 15, 2016.
Mr. Cordell began working in the orchards at the ripe young age of twelve, to working and eventually running multiple shoe factories in Virginia, Tennessee, Texas and even a stint in China. When not at work, “Pap” could be found deep sea fishing, hunting with his sons, wise cracking and smiling at the poker table, touring the country on his Harley, or tasting the finest cuisines with his wife Bettie. Most importantly, though, of all the things he loved, he made sure to share them with those he loved most, his family and friends and friends that became family.
He is survived by three children, Paul “Tony” Cordell of Forksville, PA, Bobbi A. Golden of Chambersburg, and Phil A. Cordell and his wife, Sherry of Chambersburg; five grandchildren: Tammy S. Shearer, Ashley K. Cordell, Jeremiah A. Cordell, Jarred N. Cordell, and Saige A. Cordell; two great-grandchildren: Aiden C. Shearer and Annika "Rosie" Shearer; one sister, Charlotte Cook of Chambersburg; one brother, Ronald Cordell of Chambersburg; and numerous nieces and nephews.
