Corrine was born at the 2200 ft. townsite of Britannia Mine to Roland and Minnie, moving back to Vancouver in 1943. Corrine graduated from John Oliver High School (58) and VGH School of Nursing (61).
Corrine was devoted to her family and a blessing to each of us. She is survived by Hal, husband of 54 years; daughters Jill (Kyle) and Catherine; grandchildren Klyne and Macy; brothers Bill and Jack; niece Natasha; nephew Joshua; her Aunt Lillian, as well as, numerous relations on the Lower Mainland and around the world.
Corrine lived her life with strength, humour and compassion, was a beautiful letter writer and fantastic listener. She had many passions in life including swimming, walking, hiking, gardening, music, Girl Guides of Canada, the monthly ‘sewing’ group and reading. Through the years, there were many true friends who shared endless cups of tea which usually involved a good chinwag and some of her fantastic baking.
Corrine and Hal enjoyed traveling locally and abroad, especially their annual holiday on Maui and the treasured family time in Parksville.
We will be celebrating the life of Corrine with a memorial service to be held at 2:00 PM, Friday, March 3, 2017 in the Sequoia Centre at McCall Gardens, 4665 Falaise Drive, Victoria BC V8Y 1B4.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Victoria Hospice.
