Obituary of Wayne Cyril Howell

Wayne C. Howell

Corner Brook, NL

July 6, 1946 – June 27, 2021

It is with great sadness that the family of the late Wayne Howell announce his passing on June 27th, 2021 at Western Memorial Regional Hospital, Corner Brook at the age of 74 years. 

Leaving to mourn with fond and loving memories, his wife Betty of 50 years; son, Jason (Edwina); daughter, Sue (Darren); siblings: Thelma Blanchard (Alex) and Rod Howell (Isabelle).  Grandchildren Nathan and Emma Howell, Christopher and Anna Broomfield. Nieces Sheri Bellows (Matt), Sarah O’Brien (Nick) and Mike Blanchard.  Predeceased by his father Cyril Howell, mother Olga Harrill and step-father Lloyd Harrill and nephew Scott Howell.

His quick wit & sense of humor will be dearly missed by all who knew him.  He was a very active member of the Shriners, Masonic Lodge and First United Church. He was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed spending time at his cabin with friends and family.  He also looked forward to his Wednesday night bowling and Thursday night poker games.  

A very special thank you to the Doctors and Nurses of the Intensive Care Unit, floor 3B and Palliative Care Unit at Western Memorial Hospital. 

Cremation has taken place. A private family visitation will be held at Fillatre’s Funeral Home, St. Mark’s Avenue. The funeral service will be held at First United Church, Park Street on Wednesday, June 30 at 2:00 p.m. with Rev. John van Vliet officiating. Due to Covid Government regulations the funeral service has reached the maximum number for attendance, anyone attending the funeral must wear face masks and social distance.
