Orvin Ernest Corney
1928-2017
After living a long life, loved by family and friends, Orvin
Ernest Corney, passed from this earth, on Saturday morning, April 29,
2017 at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Charlottetown.
Born on April 14, 1928,in Appin Rd. to Ernest and Ada (Cann)
Corney, Orvin went to help on his grandparent’s farm ,in his beloved
Green Bay at the age of 13, and under their guidance, he grew up from
a boy to a young man with the engrained character traits of
loyalty, a hard work ethic, a love of reading and music and his
wonderful stories that we , his family, are left with to be treasured
forever. Orvin spent his career as a carpenter and building
contractor, and this island is dotted with houses, barns and
restaurants built with his talent and skill, and all remain today,
looking as strong and straight as the day he completed them. After a
hard, long days work, Dad would remove his work clothes, change into
clean street clothes and play one of his many beautiful violins for
hours on end, often until very late at night, then carefully and
lovingly tuck it away for another time, and then rest before the next
day’s hard work.
On June 27, 1953, Orvin married Wanda (Buchanan) who survives
him and grieves his loss after 64 years together; as well as his three
loving daughters, Glenna Smith (Sid), Ferne MacNevin (Ian), and Beth
Corney Gauthier (Lee). « Bompy » was the proud grandfather of
Vanessa Snider ( Eric ) , Jessica Lord ( Justin ), Alyssa Allain (
Steve ), Amy MacNevin (predeceased in 1989), Brodie MacNevin
( Vanessa Stanley ), Shelby MacNevin ( Michael Cudmore ), and Zachary
Gauthier. Bompy was very pleased when he became a great grandfather to
Charlotte, James, Brenya, Amelia and Elijah. Orvin was second eldest
of nine boys; Leon (predeceased), George (predeceased), Hessell
(predeceased), Hollis, Vernon, Walter, Norris and an infant boy. Also
survived by cousin, friend and buddy, Hartley Corney, as well as
sisters-in-law and many nieces and nephews in the Corney and Buchanan
