Vaughn Edward Cornell, 70, went home to be with his Lord on January 2, 2021. He
graduated from Edgewater High School and attended University of Central Florida where he
met his wife of 45 years, Susan Pfantz Cornell. He held many jobs over the years, but his
true calling was that of a Pastor. He was a faithful member and servant of Starlight Baptist
Church. Whether he was leading singing, teaching Sunday School, or encouraging those in
his Nursing Home ministry, Vaughn always had a story to tell that would make you laugh.
His Christian character, conviction, and compassion for others will long be remembered by
family and friends. Vaughn was preceded in death by his parents John E. Cornell and M.
Edna Cornell. He is survived by his wife Susan Cornell of Maitland, FL; daughter Rebecca
Gilmer (Scott Gilmer) of Leesburg, GA; daughter Deborah Stock (Robert Stock) of Lady Lake,
FL; and 2 grandaughters. A memorial service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers,
please make donations in memory of Vaughn Cornell to Gideons International at

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, February 13, 2021 at 2pm at Starlight Baptist Church located at 350 Hayes Road, Winter Springs, FL 32708.
