Obituary-John Owen Cornia

 John finally got his only wish and went home to be with the love of his life on New Year’s Day.

John Owen Cornia was the second of four children born to Dodge and Lilly Cornia born on January 13th in 1935.

John grew up in Woodruff Utah and spent his youth fishing up Woodruff Creek and had often said that it was the creek that raised him.   John’s mom was a talented seamstress and he and his brothers wore many beautifully crafted western shirts.   This wasn’t something that as a child he loved, but he and his brothers were the envy of many young men in those shirts. 

John went to school in Woodruff as a child and his upper education was in Randolph Utah, it was here as a Junior that he started dating and fell in love with the love of his life Anna Mae Kennedy.  She often said that he was the best dancer that she had ever danced with and that’s how he hooked her.  They married on February 10th 1956 in Randolph Utah and were later joined together for time and all eternity in the Logan Temple on April 19, 1965.

John and AnnaMae had six children. He worked hard to support his family; often times working two jobs until he was able to find work at the P&M Coal mine in Kemmerer, Wyoming where he completed his career and retired.  After retiring John spent his time working on the ranch and doing woodworking. He was talented and gifted items to family and friends.

Conversations with John quite often ended up with his talking about his regret in not having a better relationship with his children, all of which he loved deeply.  Anytime he received mail from them or his grandchildren, his countenance would perk up but quite often ended in tears of regret.  He loved his family so much, he missed his wife each and every second of the day and would pause to look at her picture every time he walked down the hall to his bedroom.

John is survived by his children, Grass (Donna) Cornia of Spanish Fork Utah, Cathy (Alvin) McNeil of Marion Utah, Shorty(Jeannie) Cornia of Midland Texas, Rodney (Joannie) Cornia of Washington Utah, Jackie (Jimmy) O’Halloran of Spring Park Minnesota, and Dan Cornia of Randolph Utah; brothers Scott (Betty) Cornia of Randolph Utah and Tick Cornia of Woodruff Utah, 16 grandchildren, 34 great grandchildren and 1 great great grandchild.

John was proceeded in death by his wife AnnaMae, father Dodge Cornia, mother Lilly Cornia, and sister Maxine Nichols.

We would like to thank all the staff at Compassionate Journey who made John feel at home as soon as he walked in the door.  The love, compassion, and service they give their clients is unmatched and greatly appreciated.  Special thanks to Jaime with Cowboy Care for her quick response to care for John and relieve him from pain.  We would also like to express our appreciation to Crandall’s Funeral home for the caring service they provide.

Obituary-Shirlene Sorensen Fisher

 

Loving, determined, caring, faith-filled, beautiful, supportive, devout, classy, inclusive, musical. A few words from the list that describe Shirlene Rae Sorenson Fisher. She was a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, and friend. Shirlene was reunited in heaven with her husband and other family on December 30, 2022. She was 82 years old, living in Taylorsville at the time of her passing. Her death was a result of natural causes incident to age.

Shirlene was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, on November 2, 1940, to Dale and Geneva Sorenson. She attended then graduated from South High School. Shirlene graduated from Stevens-Henager College as well. She then went to work for Bennet's as a computer operator. Not long after, she agreed to a blind date, and met Walter Fisher. They married on May 5, 1960. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple on June 26,1969. Walter passed away in November 2021.

Mom was a devout member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In addition to many music callings, she served in the Relief Society, Young Women, and Primary. Mom had an enduring, special faith in the power of prayer, and loved being in the temple.

For almost three decades, she dedicated her life to caring for her son, Wayne, after a serious accident that caused a debilitating traumatic brain injury. She was always at his side during rehab, while he finished his undergraduate degree at the University of Utah, and dutifully caring for all his needs. She was recognized by the Live with Regis and Kathie Lee Show on an annual Mother's Day ""Mom's Dreams Come True"" episode.

Mom and Dad built their dream home on Sweetwater Mountain near Bear Lake. They lived there for about 15 years. She still found time to continue being a loving mother and doting, supportive grandmother to all her grandchildren, no matter how they became members of the family. She also loved and served her neighbors well.

Shirlene was preceded in death by her devoted husband, Walter, two grandchildren, Michael and Erica, her brother, James, and her parents. She is survived by her children, Lauri (Kris) Rainey, Bart (Brenda) Fisher, Shelli (Chuck) Moore, Daneen (Harold) Nolte, Wayne Fisher, and Shaunel Abele, 19 grandchildren, 40 great-grandchildren, and 3 great-great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her siblings Diana Young, Marsha Davis, Kevin Sorenson, Kathy Barnes, and a whole bunch of nieces and nephews.

Shirlene's funeral was held on Saturday, January 7, 2023, Internment will be at Mountain View Memorial Estates in Cottonwood Heights. The family would like to thank the staff at Ashby Home and Hospice (especially Britanee!) and The Cottage at Legacy House in Taylorsville. More than anyone, thank you mom for loving and teaching us.
