Cordella was born March 27, 1928 to Orville and Ada Garrison. She was one of 11 children, so work was no stranger to her. She delighted in helping others. Many enjoyed her labors of love, as they ate her cinnamon rolls, noodles and cakes.

She is survived by her daughter Joann Kosinski & husband Jay of Matteson, Illinois. Granddaughter Misty Roller & husband Terry of Purdy, Missouri. Grandson T. J. Weston. Her Sister-in-law, Kathleen Garrison - who was more like her sister.

Great Grandson Daniel Roller & Great Granddaughter Lauren Roller and Kaylee Weston. Plus many nieces and nephews.

Her nieces, Joy Way of Monett, MO and Carla Huntington of Nixa, MO along with the excellent Lacoba staff, helped in making life much more pleasant for her at the Lacoba Home.

Kathleen Garrison, her dear sister in law as well as all of her spiritual brothers and sisters in the Monett Congregation showed their loyalty to her in her times of sickness.

She was preceded in death by her former husband, John Michael Kresyman, son Danny Kresyman and daughter Judy Weston.

Cordella was dedicated and baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in November of 1957. Her love, faith, and zeal was very obvious to everyone. Her concern, was not for herself but first for the interests of God's Kingdom and spiritual interests of others.

She delighted in telling others of her loving heavenly father Jehovah, who desires all to have life and peace. She endured many hardships over the years but you would never know it, for she never complained. As she dealt with different issues she often quoted 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 where is says "tribulation is momentary……the things seen are temporary….but the unseen are everlasting.

Cordella had many loyal friends who would contact her from month to month from Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Texas, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri and England.

We will all see her again in the resurrection, when she will be able to realize her hope of living right here on earth in paradise. (Psalm 37:29)   She is in the safest place she can be – in Jehovah God's memory, asleep and not hurting anymore.

Memorial services will be at 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 3, 2018, at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in Monett, with Brik Huntington officiating.

Service arrangements and cremation are under the direction of the White Funeral Home and Crematory, Cassville, Missouri.
