Eddie Cornelius Obituary

Eddie Rose Cornelius age 83, was ushered into the presence of the Lord on Wednesday, September 17, 2014. She was born to the late Jay and Rose Cornelius on September 2, 1931 in Columbus, Ohio. She graduated from East High School. She joined Mt. Olivet Baptist Church under the leadership of Reverend H. Beecher Hicks, Sr. and served in the youth and catering ministries. She had a lifelong desire to help others which was not hindered by her disability. She was an active participant in multiple programs within Goodwill Industries. Eddie Rose was never shy about “boldly speaking her mind” to ensure that you understood her position. She served for six years on the Board of Trustees of Cerebral Palsy of Columbus and Franklin County, Inc. She enjoyed her volunteer position at the Westgate Friends Nursery School. Eddie Rose was honored by her family for her dedication, determination and dependability. Her favorite past times were “window” shopping and visiting with family. She is preceded in death by her parents, Jay and Rose Cornelius; her brothers and sister, Benny, John Russell and Bettye Sue. She is survived by her sister Jeanette Bogan. Also left to cherish her memory is her special niece Tina Wilson, a host of nieces and nephews along with cousins of the Ragland, Byrd, and Young Families, the Tidmore Family and the staff of Goodwill Industries.
