Corine loved her Lord and Savor and is in His presence rejoicing in all that God has promised his believers. She never hesitated to witness to others and will have many stars in her crown!
Corine was a faithful wife and mother. She was employed as a telephone operator for both Sprint and St. Vincent’s Medical Center. She loved traveling with her husband for not only vacations, but many Mission trips that led them to help build orphanages and help the needy in several countries including Russia and Peru. She loved to read and completed 114 books last year! She never passed a thrift shop she didn’t want to stop at and loved playing RummyQ every week with her sons and girlfriends. She was always ready to host holidays at her home and dinner parties and opened her door to family and friends alike.
