Obituary of Dolly Cornish

CORNISH, Dolly (Edna G.) On Sunday January 24, 2016, Dolly (née Bird) passed away peacefully at St. Mary's of the Lake Hospital in Kingston. She was 73. Dolly was the beloved wife of John, mother to Dan (Haruko) and Chris (Todd) and loving Grandmother to Mitchell. She was the dear sister to Bob Bird, Dee LaFrance, Mary Flynn, Dick Bird (deceased) and Ginny Dame. Dolly had a knack of making friends easily and will be remembered for her smile, humour, generosity and for her easy approachability. Since retiring 15 years ago from Hotel Dieu X-Ray, Dolly has been active in her community volunteering her time to the Gananoque Food Bank and to the Gardens at St. John's Catholic Church and the Thousand Islands Playhouse. The family will receive friends at the Tompkins Funeral Home 63 Garden St. Gananoque on Thursday from 3-5 and 7-9pm. Mass of Christian Burial will be held in St. John the Evangelist Church on Friday January 29 at 1pm. Interment will be held in Willowbank cemetery at a later date. As expressions of sympathy memorial donations to the Gananoque Food bank, Willowbank cemetery or to the U.H.K.F. (Cancer Centre) would be appreciated by the family.
