She was a talented and passionate interior decorator whose work took her all over the world, helping people and businesses create beautiful spaces.

An avid gardener, her favorite flowers were irises, and she always kept fresh bouquets around her home as a reminder of the beauty that surrounded her.

Above all, she cherished her family. She treasured the time she spent with her daughter, Melissa, and her son-in-law, Michael, whom she loved as her own son. In her final days, she found great comfort in being surrounded by them, singing her favorite songs and creating precious memories together.

She is preceded in death by her parents; her beloved husband of many years, Richard F Cormell; and her brothers and sisters.

She is survived by her daughter, Melissa Hope Holland, son in law, Michael Holland; two sons, and her grandchildren and her precious dog “precious”.
