Jerry F. Cornish passed away August 1, 2010 at the age of 70. Jerry was born in Amber, Oklahoma on February 7, 1940 to Homer and Jeanette Cornish. He married Elaine Cornish on June 20, 1963 at Southwest Church of Christ. They spent most of their married life in OKC, but moved the family to Garland, TX in the late 70's & early 80's. Jerry worked for Western Electric/Lucent Technologies for over 30 years. Jerry was a very active member at the S.W. Church of Christ where he was a faithful servant for most of his 70 years. He loved spending the week at camp with the kids every year where he would work cooking from 5AM 'til 11PM each day. He also delivered meals on wheels each week & helped teach a Sunday morning Bible class. Jerry's favorite project was a day called "Tipton Fun Day". Each year on the first Saturday in August he would organize a carnival style day for the kids who lived at the children's home in Tipton, OK. He spent all year raising money & organizing the games and gifts for the kids and made sure they had a day where they could just have "fun". Jerry's pride & joy were his 3 grandsons. They were first priority with him. No plans could be made if they had any sport or school activity scheduled. Anyone who knew him knew that those boys worshiped the ground he walked on. He will be so dearly missed. He was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Elaine; & sister Gracie Mayhugh, He is survived by one brother Homer (Bud) Cornish
of Broken Arrow, OK; Son Jay Cornish & wife Traci of Yukon, OK. Daughter Tracy & husband Glenn of OKC; 3 grandsons; Garrett Cornish, Alex McDaniel & Dylan McDaniel.
