Mackenzie Dawn Cornell, age 11, of South Webster, passed away Sunday, June 2, 2024, while saving her sister at a swimming pool. She was born on November 19, 2012, in Portsmouth.
Mackenzie was a “Girly Girl” who loved shopping and going to Claire’s Boutique. She enjoyed everything outside, always following her grandmother out to the garden and helping with anything going on outside. She was funny, brilliant, and enjoyed drawing. Most of all, she loved her sister, her cats, and her dogs. She was happiest when helping others.
Mackenzie is survived by her father, Chris Cornell, and Diana Barnes; grandparents who raised her, Lawrence ‘Ed’ and Bonnie Cornell of South Webster; brother, Jacob Cornell; sister, Mackenna Cornell; aunts and uncles, Chad and Jennifer Cornell and Chuck and Helen Cornell; and many cousins, friends, and schoolmates.
The family would like to thank the South Webster schools and community for their love and support during this time.
Funeral Services will be at 1:00 PM on Saturday, June 8, 2024, at Bloom Vernon Elementary School with Pastor Merit Smith officiating. Interment will follow at Vernon Cemetery.
Visitation will be from 5 to 8 PM Friday at D.W. SWICK FUNERAL HOME in South Webster and from 11 AM to 1 PM Saturday prior to services at the school.
