Lucilla CarlAnn Cornwell, affectionately known to her friends and family as CarlAnn, passed away peacefully on September 30, 2025, in Salisbury, MD, Born on June 18. 1957, in Boston, MA, CarlAnn's zest for life and her unwavering spirit touched the hearts of all who knew her.
CarlAnn was the beloved wife of Steven Cornwell Sr., with whom she shared a beautiful and enduring love story. Together, they built a life full of joy, laughter, and countless cherished memories. A devoted mother to her sons, Steven Jr. and Michael Cornwell CarlAnn instilled in them the values of love, education, and the importance of family. Her wisdom and guidance were the cornerstones of their upbringing.
Her role as a grandmother was one, she embraced with all her heart. She adored her grandson, Steven Cornwell Il' and her great-grandson Steven Cornwell IV.

However, it was not all work for CarlAnn. She had a profound love for writing, which allowed her to express her vivid imagination and articulate her deepest thoughts and feelings. Her journals and stories were a testament to her introspective nature and her ability to capture the essence of life's moments.
An avid equestrian, CarlAnn loved riding horses, feeling a sense of freedom and connection with these majestic animals. Her passion for horseback riding was paralleled only by her love for the beach. The shore was her haven, a place where she found solace in the rhythm of the waves and the warmth of the sun.
Those who knew CarlAnn would describe her as loving, intelligent, and thoughtful. She had a knack for making everyone in her presence feel valued and heard. Her compassionate spirit and her unwavering support were her gifts to the world.
CarlAnn's legacy is one of love, kindness, and the pursuit of passion. She lived her life with purpose and left an indelible mark on the hearts of those she encountered.
