1948-2016
Derek Shawn Cornford, 67, formerly of West Saint John, ended
his battle with cancer in the palliative care unit of the Saint John
Regional Hospital, on Aug. 16, 2016, with his wife and daughter at his
side.
Born on Sept. 13, 1948, to the late George Cornford and Dora
(Jonah) Cornford, Derek grew up on Bentley St. and attended the
Vocational School before working for the Irving Oil Refinery for 32
years. After retiring in 2003 Derek enjoyed meeting weekly with his
fellow retirees to enjoy coffee and friendship.
Throughout his life, Derek was an avid traveller and loved to
explore North America, with Glenna, in their motorhome and was a
member of the Perfect Circle chapter of the Family Motor Coach
Association. After retirement he and Glenna also visited numerous
countries in Europe. He loved to tinker with engines and motors and
had an endless curiosity about how things worked.
Derek will be dearly missed by his wife of 43 years, Glenna
(Fair) Cornford, his daughter, Alison Cornford-Matheson (Andrew), his
mother, Dora (Jonah) Cornford and his many friends and family
members.
The family would like to extend sincere gratitude to the
staff of the palliative care unit at the Regional for their unwavering
kindness and care in Derek’s final days. Special thanks to
Maureen McCarthy and to his many friends who visited and lifted
Derek’s spirits during his difficult battle with
cancer.
Arrangements are under the care of
Brenan’s Bay View Funeral Home, 1461
Manawagonish Road, Saint John, NB
(634-7425). Visitation
will be held Saturday, August 20, from 2-4 and 7-9 PM. Family and
friends are invited to attend a celebration of Derek’s life,
on Monday, August 22, 2016 at 11:00 am at Brenan’s Bay View
Chapel. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Saint John
Regional Hospital Foundation or Bobby’s Hospice would be
appreciated by the family.
