Louisa Cornell
Prospect, CT-Louisa Cappello Cornell (71), beloved wife, mother, grandmother and friend, passed away on Saturday, May 10 after a brief illness at St. Mary’s Hospital in Waterbury Connecticut. She was surrounded by her loving family.
Louisa was born on September 3, 1942 in New York City, along with her sister, the late Maria Cappello. The twins were daughters to Rosario and Grace (Volpi) Cappello. She is a graduate of Immaculata High School in New York City. At the age of 24 she married Robert Cornell and the couple settled in Naugatuck, CT where she raised three children and began a 20-year career at Naugatuck Savings Bank. She was a member of the Junior Women’s Club in Naugatuck where she met dear friends who were with her throughout the rest of her life.
Besides her husband Robert, she is survived by her daughters, Christine Ieronimo and Leanne Cornell, her son John Cornell, her son-in-law of Michael Ieronimo, her daughter-in-law Deborah Webster-Cornell and her six grandchildren, Jack, Alex, Diana, Anna Grace, Charlotte and Eva.
Among other things, Louisa enjoyed lunch with her friends, weekends at the beach in Rhode Island and shopping for her family, but nothing brought her more joy than spending time with her children and grandchildren, who all adored their GaGa and MeMa.
Her family would like to offer a special thank you to the nurses, doctors and staff at St. Mary’s Hospital CCU, who were caring, heartfelt and treated Louisa with the loving care she rightfully deserved.
The funeral will be held on Friday, May 16, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. at St. Anthony's Roman Catholic Church, 4 Union City Rd, Prospect. Everyone is asked to meet directly at the church. Burial will be at the convenience of the family. Friends may call at the Buckmiller Brothers Funeral Home, 26 Waterbury Rd, Rte. 69, Prospect on Thursday evening from 5-7 p.m.
