Corrine started her career as a retail worker in her early teen years and retired from Mr. Ed's Hardware. The work for Ms. Corrine didn't stop there, she continued to help others in various ways. Corrine was a one in million person and was loved by everyone, she was known for her giving spirit. She was the type of person to think more about others than herself. From serving in her local church ministries, to taking care of the family that she loved. She was a faithful devout woman of the Guadalupanas for 64 years and, loved serving the Lord and our Heavenly Mother. Many people are going to miss her big heart and loving nature, although she may have sometimes was very blunt and hurt your feelings, she did it with love. She was an avid bowler some may call her the Fred Flinstone of bowling with many wins, and a spectacular game of 299. She was not your average bowler. She loved her role of being an Aunt to many of her nephews and nieces, her sacrifices she made for her family was unmatched and uncommon in today's generations. She really didn't enjoy sports but would love watching hockey games with her nephew Ronald and when football season came she never cared for colors or liked a particular team but fell in love with her "pretty boy" Mahomes, she kept busy smashing her cans, making puzzles, and making her famous tortillas and famous white dip. So Corrine smashed her last can, rolled her last tortilla, and in her last breath gave the last reganada and used her final breath and strength to physically bless family and friends. She is now in Heaven shining down on us and watching over us so, we can't be cabrones and cabronas anymore because she is watching. We Love you with all of our hearts, we will forever miss you, enjoy Heaven you deserved it.
