It is with sadness that family announce the passing of their mother, Doris V. Kornelson, beloved wife of the late, Ed Kornelson, at St. Joseph’s Home - Carmel Hospice on Saturday, July 21, 2018, at the age of 82 years. Doris leaves to cherish her memory her daughters, Janet (Pat) Janzer and their daughter, Amy (Tyler) Deck (children: Huxley, Rowen and Jayla) and son, Matthew (Tacey) Janzer (children: Azalia, Haven, Kian and Coen); Wendy (Tom) Beach and their children, Jade Beach and Brett Beach; Patti (†) (Todd) Penner and their children, Ashton Penner and Haleigh Penner (Marcus) as well as her brothers, Bob (Lorraine) Monkman and Jack (Audrey) Monkman. Doris was predeceased by her husband, Ed Kornelson; her son, Ronald Kornelson and daughter, Patti Penner. Doris was born and raised in the Buffalo area and attended high school in Medicine Hat. She married Ed Kornelson on November 3, 1956, in Calgary. Doris worked hard for her family. She worked in office management, canned and worked on the farm for years either leading the charge or alongside Ed. Doris loved and adored her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and any chance to hold a baby was never missed. She loved golfing, curling, traveling and was a huge Blue Jays fan. She worked alongside Ed with the Shriners and was an active member with the UCW of Westminster United Church. Doris was the glue of the family gatherings. She loved her family and friends and showed it with wonderful home cooked meals. She always nurtured their Norwegian heritage and taught her family how to make all of the ethnic dishes, even the ones they didn’t like. She will be deeply missed. The Funeral Service will be held at Cook Southland Funeral Chapel, 901 - 13 Street S.W., Medicine Hat on Wednesday, July 25, 2018, at 11:00 a.m. with Dr. Shane Andrus officiating.

It's with heartfelt sorrow we received the message that Doris had passed away. We have so vivid and good memories from our meetings with her last year. Her home cooking and fun stories made us feel good. And her butter tarts were the best ever. Ingeborg and I will miss her, as will also the rest of her Norwegian family.
Our thoughts goes to Janet and Wendy with families. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
