The Chemainus Festival of Murals Society is sad to announce the passing of longtime board member Cordell Ensign on Dec. 23. He was diagnosed with congestive heart failure this past summer and had further complications the last few months which resulted in his passing.

His family was with him.

There will be an obituary in Tuesday’s Cowichan Valley Citizen with information about a celebration of life.

Donations can be made to the Chemainus Festival of Murals Society.
