Fernande Gisele (Drouin) Kornichuk passed away peacefully at the age of 89 on July 18, 2024.  She was the beloved widow of the late Paul J. Kornichuk.  Born on January 25, 1935 in Three Rivers, Quebec, Fern was the fourth of five children of the late Edmund Joseph and Marie Ange (Lafontaine) Drouin.

Together they raised two children in Forestville CT.  Fern and Paul were married for 45 years before his passing in 2004.  She worked for many years as the Assistant Personnel Director for the Town of Bristol Connecticut, retiring in 1996.
Fern had many hobbies, including quilting, sewing knitting, crocheting, and painting.  She was also a very talented cook and baker.  She also enjoyed skiing and traveling with her family.  In her retirement, she spent many hours volunteering at the Bristol Senior Center where she made lots of new friends and meaningful community connections.
