Corrienne was raised in Enderby, BC. She graduated from Vancouver General Hospital as a Registered Nurse in 1954. She and Garth were married August 26, 1954 and lived in Vancouver and then Salmon Arm.
In 1967 they moved to Ladner where Corrienne and Garth were very involved in Ladner Baptist Church, where mom helped with nursery and taught Sunday School as well as being a part of the ladies’ groups and, of course, singing in the choirs. Corrienne returned to nursing in the 1970’s and worked in the medical office of Dr. Kaney for many years. In retirement she volunteered with the Delta Hospital Auxiliary, and the BC Baptist Housing Council. Always a crafter, her knitting bag was never far from her chair.
In 2004 Corrienne moved to Kaleden to live with Ian, Edie, Mackenzie and Tanner.
Corrienne, who survived 4 bouts of cancer in her life, “never expecting to get this old” passed away peacefully from old age at Trinity Care Centre March 21, 2018 with her daughter, son, daughter-in-law and son-in-law at her side.
The family would like to thank Dr. Masson, the staff at Trinity Care Centre, and Sandy and Dave Lusted and staff of Pentoka Companion Care for their excellent care of mom through her last years.
A Memorial Service and tea for Corrienne will be at First Baptist Church Penticton BC, March 24, 2018 at 1 pm.
