Dean Stromness Cornell slipped quietly away into the loving arms of his Savior Jesus Christ. It was a wonderful reunion with his father Thomas Custer Cornell, his mother Agnes Pauline Stromness, his brothers Charles W. and Thomas Paul Cornell, his sister Netta Harriett Skidmore (Meryl Skidmore), and his loving grandparents, aunts and uncles. Dean is survived by his sister Afton June Cornell Harvey (Arthur R. Harvey) of Vallejo, CA; his brother F. Norman Cornell (Betty Raymond Cornell) of St. George, UT; his sister-in-law Ruby Cornell, and many nieces and nephews.
Dean grew up in the 33rd Ward of Salt Lake City where he became a Deacon, Teacher and Priest. He was sociable and made friends easily. Later he became an Elder and joyfully worked as an assistant in the Webelo Scout Program. Children were attracted to him, and he loved them. He also thoroughly enjoyed being a greeter at sacrament meetings. Dean always was conscientious, dependable and appropriate. He proudly worked as a uniformed usher at the Utah Theater and later as a ward custodian. Many neighbors called on Dean to tend their babies and children. He helped widows wash woodwork and floors, clean wallpaper and run errands.
He lived with his brother Paul and family for a number of years to help their son who became disabled through muscular dystrophy. For a year he helped his uncle who had a stroke. He lived several years with other family members where he served as another "parent" to help them raise their children. They knew Uncle Dean always did what was right. He lived a life of service to others. He was loving, forgiving, patient and kind. He could not stand at the pulpit and deliver a sermon on the gospel of Jesus Christ: his life was a sermon. He embodied all the principles our Savior taught. He touched the heart of everyone he met.
Friends and Family are invited to call at Cottonwood Mortuary at 4670 Highland Drive Friday evening from 6-8 p.m. Funeral Services will be held Saturday, November 3, 2007, at the L.D.S. Olympus 1st Ward Chapel, 4100 Camille Drive (directly east of the Olympus High School) at 1 p.m. A viewing will be held one hour prior to the services. Interment: Lake Hills Memorial Park, 10055 South State.
