Gwendolyn E. Cornwall Obituary (1929 - 2020)

Gwendolyn made her entrance into God's earthly Kingdom on October 3, 1929. She peacefully made her entrance into God's Heavenly Kingdom on Tuesday, June 30, 2020, at Saint Francis Hospital. Gwendolyn is an offspring of the late Mr. Dan and Kathleen Anita Whittaker of George Town, Grand Cayman. Gwendolyn was educated at George Town Primary school in the Cayman Islands. She went on to standard one which would go up to standard six. She loved going to Sunday School and was a faithful member of the Wesley Holiness Church from a very young age. Wee Wee as many of us affectionally calls her. She worked with Ms. Margie Thompson Hurlston of Crew Road, Cayman Islands to make ends meet. She would ride her bike to get to work, and anyone that worked along side Wee Wee will attest that she was a professional and perfectionist. Sometimes she would leave the house before light and get back home around 7pm or so to prepare dinner for her family, but on Sundays she would prepare a feast. In 1968 she migrated to the United States. Gwendolyn was exceptionally loving and devoted to her family. We will dearly miss her jovial spirit and her steadfast faith in God, even in the midst of adversity. We rejoice in knowing that while here on this earth "She fought a good fight and she kept the faith." Though she is now absent from her physical body, she is now present with the Lord. She leaves to cherish her memory and her legacy one daughter, Tory Cornwall Ricketts (Ralston Roy), two sons, Hector Whittaker (Jacqueline) and Claude Cornwall; 28 grandchildren, Nina, Patty, Tilly, Nerlaine, Merclia, Serena, Letreal, Noel, Renda, Rhonda, Ryan, Royce, Zuliekia, Andre, Tamara, Matthew, Mark, Uriah, Javon, Inekia, Janicia, Shavon, Noel, Latrel, Owen Jr., and Ryan; 37 great grandchildren; one sister, Kathleen Alvernie Whittaker; and several adopted families - The Blanks, Dean and Bing Families; several adopted sons, Tiger, Johnny and Billy, and many dear friends. A viewing will held Saturday, July 18, 2020 Mimms Funeral Home at 1:00pm.
