Lorne Kornelsen was born in the Morris hospital to John and Anna Kornelsen on August 5, 1942. After graduating from the Greenbank School in Rosenort, he went on to earn a certificate from Teachers College, later completing a Bachelor of Arts in 1974, followed by his Bachelor of Education in 1979, both from the University of Manitoba. He also achieved his performance degree in voice through The Western Board of Music in 1980.

Lorne’s passionate personality and many talents were displayed through music, sports, church involvement and choral directing. He gave his all in everything he did. He was a teacher for 45 years, most of which were at the Rosenort School. He enjoyed many sports like hockey, baseball, curling, and golf. His high performance skill and competitive spirit were of great benefit to the many teams he coached and played with!

The family wishes to thank the doctors and nurses at the Boundary Trails Health Centre, home care nurses and palliative care staff at Morris Hospital who provided expertise and care in a way that brought confidence and peace at a difficult time.

We have felt the outpouring of love, prayers and support of the many church, school and community members who have shared well wishes and memories.
