She enjoyed spending time with family and friends, teaching swimming lessons, hosting her famous every-occasion pool parties, and ballroom dancing. Corena was a devout, caring, and generous woman. She was dedicated to her faith and very active in her church, First Christian Church in Bloomington, where she was an elder and the first female President of the church board. She was also very active in Christian Women’s Fellowship. Special thank you to the Liberty Village staff. Memorials may be made to Wishbone Canine Rescue, 2020 Bunn St. Bloomington, IL 61704.
