Throughout her 62 years of marriage to her beloved husband, the couple enjoyed numerous years spent together fishing, camping, and spending the winter months in sunny Florida. Her other hobbies also included bowling.
Coralie always had a smile on her face and a knack for pleasing others. She put her faith in God every day and not once would she be heard to say “woe is me”. She was the true definition of strength and selflessness.
