Lynn A.

Cornwell

Lynn Ann Cornwell, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, cousin and friend, passed away peacefully in her home on Friday, November 6, 2026. Born in Three Rivers, Michigan in 1954 to Marguerite (Davis) and James Cleland, she was preceded in death by her mother and father, sister, brother, and niece, along with many family members and friends to welcome her to heaven and keep her busy.

Lynn graduated from Three Rivers High School in 1972 and began a four decade-long career in the medical field. She would later proudly earn her certification as a Medical Assistant and continued providing care giving services long after retirement.

Lynn had a strong devotion to the Lord. She attended Verse by Verse Church and adored serving by helping with the children's ministry. She could be found attending the senior breakfast and spending time with the ladies groups. Her faith was a source of strength and comfort throughout the years she battled cancer.

Throughout her life, Lynn found her greatest joy in caring for others. The door was always open and her home was a place of comfort, warmth, and safety for those who needed it, and she had a special way of making people feel welcome, loved, and cared for. Grammy to all, she was everyone's personal nurse, always ready to offer advice, words of encouragement, a listening ear, lend a helping hand, or take care of anything asked of her. Lynn cherished the time she spent with her children and grandchildren and could often be found baking and cooking, sharing her favorite recipes, and creating memories. Lynn had a personality full of life and love, a sharp sense of humor, and an appreciation for enjoying life on her own terms.

Lynn's family was everything to her. She raised 6 children and spent her retirement caring for her family and traveling with her husband. She is survived by her devoted husband and squabbling partner of 40 years, Tom, her children, Chelsea (Jessee) Schoetzow, Kelli (Adam) Pound, Staci Bethuram Stokes, Emily (Bret) Cornwell-Hathaway, Tommy (Kelly) Cornwell, and Katie Murphy, along with 19 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren, aunts and uncles, countless cousins and endless friends.

A service to celebrate Lynn's life will be held at Verse by Verse Church, 300 Enterprise Dr, Three Rivers, Michigan, on Friday, November 13, 2026, at 1:00 pm, followed by a luncheon for friends and family at the VFW Post 4054, 53350 M-40, Marcellus, Michigan, at 3:00 pm. Interment will take place at a later date.

Memorial gifts in Lynn's name may be directed to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
