Obituary for Yvonne Corneau (Mancini)
Yvonne (Mancini) Corneau, 68, of Glastonbury, passed away peacefully on August 1, 2022. Yvonne was born to the late Pasquale and Lillian (Aubin) Mancini on December 17, 1953 in Hartford and graduated Wethersfield High School in 1971. Yvonne adored her family & friends, and was one of the most generous human beings on the planet. Her passions were her grandchildren, gardening, flowers, ceramics, knitting, and supporting our veterans. In 2019 Yvonne received an award in honor of her “Unparalleled Performance and Exemplary Dedication to Improving the Lives of Critically Injured post 9/11 Military Personnel, their Families, and the Children of the Fallen.” She was an active and committed member of the Glastonbury Community Church and looked forward to one day being with Lord who saved her, not according to the multitude of good deeds she performed but according to the grace of God through faith alone. She loved her Pastor, Mat, who was of great comfort and always there for her. Special thanks to Gladys from Athena, who cared for her the last few months of her life and who Yvonne often referred to as her “best friend”.
Yvonne is survived by her sons, Keith Corneau and his wife Alicia, and their children Cameron & Chloe, of Glastonbury. Kevin Corneau, of Newington.
