IN HER LIFE: Corinne enjoyed raising her family. She loved to cook and try new recipes. No one made a better boiled dinner or baked tastier dessert bars and dinner rolls than she. At Christmas time popcorn balls were always a favorite and became a family tradition, as did making and decorating wreaths with pine boughs.
In the fall she would collect pinecones and acorns to make pinecone wreaths; she even had a craft room for others to enjoy this craft. In recent years she spent time watching TV and was a fan of both the Red Sox and the Celtics. As a pasttime she knitted dishcloths to give to family and friends. She loved doing the daily Jumble in the Union Leader and was very good at it.
