Cornel was born in Breaux Bridge to the late Voorhies and Rochelle Angelle Boudreaux. He was employed Acme Truck Line for eight years. Cornel was a faithful parishioner of St. Bernard Catholic Church where he served as a Eucharistic Minister and an Usher. Cornel was a long-time member and Treasurer of the Knights of Columbus. He enjoyed staying physically fit at Red Lerille's Health Club. Cornel was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. He always had a smile on his face and took pride in everything he did. Cornel never met a stranger and was always lending a helping hand to anyone who needed.

Cornel will be remembered for his kind and generous heart; he will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
