Corinne grew up in East Bridgewater and Quincy. She graduated from Quincy High School in 1975 and from Quincy College in 1977. Corinne met her husband at Bethany Congregational Church as children and they began dating as teenagers. They married in 1983 and settled in Braintree where they raised their family. Before having children, Corinne was a legal secretary for several Boston law firms and was noted for her typing ability of 100 words per minute even years later.

In her free time, Corinne loved bowling, reading sappy romance novels, watching sitcoms, planning her next meal out, and having her hair and nails done. She was a devoted member of many church and school committees. Corinne had many friends and never forgot a birthday or important date. A beach lover, she appeared as an extra in the film Jaws.
