Coralee was such a generous, grounded and helpful friend. I still miss her, think of her several times a week. She mentored and taught me so much. Never judgemental. I wish I could tell her how grateful I am.

Coralee was such a wonderful woman.  I fell in love with her beautiful spirit right away when I met her.  Such kindness, intelligence, compassion, generosity, and a wonderful sense of humor.  I lost touch with her  shortly after leaving GSA in Seattle since my life took so many stressful turns, but always remembered her with love and fondness.  Would never wish such an illness on anyone, much less a treasured friend.  Her stories of life in the wilderness, her amazing treasure hunting finds, her laugh, her friendship will be with me always.  God bless you dear woman. Until we meet again.

Coralee was a neighbor and friend for more than 30 years. She was always smiling and had such a lovely upbeat lilt to her voice. It was a pleasure to talk with her. She always had magical stories about animals or treasure hunting, or friends or family. Over the last many years in our neighborhood she brought us Reminisce Magazines to ease him/us through my husband, Howard's decline. She brought him a soft fleece blanket in his favorite color, orange, to wrap up in, other things to ease him. She offered many ornaments for the yard over time, and when she moved away gifted us many more. They are seen with every move I make around the yard, as well as treasures in the house she gifted us with.  She was/is a lovely Lady in my heart.

My condolences to Coralee's family!  It was a pleasure knowing and working with my friend Coralee! She was a kind and caring person. I remember her sharing with me the many Christmas gifts she had to purchase for each of her nieces and nephews. She expressed so much joy and thought in buying each one a gift then watching each of them open their gift on Christmas Day. Coralee was my go to person when I had questions about work projects and she always listened closely to what I had to say and gave her best advice. Coralee was a wealth of knowledge and a wonderful “lead” on our work team, always eager to help others and a joy to be around. I will miss her dearly!  God's love for us will never leave us even in death!

Coralee was an amazing person who always thought of others, spiritual, loving, caring, warm, understanding and giving of herself at all times. She was resourceful, funny and always had encouraging words. She love sending off Birthday and Christmas cards and gifts to her nieces, nephrews, sister and great nieces and nephews.  Her workstation was filled with wonderful family photos and friends. 

I will never forget the time we laugh together so hard in a conference room during lunch. The laugher went on for five minutes before either of us took a breath. We had to leave the room in order to stop laughing, but it continued on once we locked eyes at our workstations. This was our last lunch together in the Seattle Downtown office in February of 2020 before COVID closures.

My only peace is knowing that God's angels has taken her home to rest. I have prayed for Coralee during her illness and will continue praying for your family.
