I knew Corinne as a friend and co-worker for several decades.  We worked for NRCS in New Mexico.  I respected both her work attitude and quality in Roswell (Dexter or Hagerman I think), Estancia and Albuquerque.  She was fun as a friend.  I particularly remember an America concert in Pinetop (A Horse With No Name) and a Kansas concert at Isleta (Dust in the Wind).  I regret that I was out of the country when she passed and didn't know until after the celebration of life. 
Adios y paz siempre amiga!

Corinne was such a beautiful soul, I worked with Corinne and she always showed great passion for conservation and our natural resources.  She always showed a great work ethic but we still managed to have fun at work. She was a great mentor for us that came in later into the agency.  She will forever be missed. She loved her family and constantly talked about how proud she was of her kids.  My deepest sympathy to Melanie and Jacob and the rest of her family.  May she rest in peace now. 

She was a great lady and a big sister also to me I was good friends with Rick and Don I hope the best for the Ross family0

I met Corinne when she started in Salinas, CA as a conservationist.  My husband and I helped her move into an apartment on Constitution.  I remember "kitty" sitting when she went on vacation.  That kitty just loved the massages I would give her when I came over.  Corinne said that I spoiled her kitty because now she expected a massage from Corinne too.,  Corinne always had a smile for everyone she met, and I am so glad that we became friends.  Our deepest condolences  to the family.  


Corinne was a lovely person.  I met her in 1996........She was my mentor and my friend!  Corinne was passionate, full of life, fun and loving; and we had some amazing times together.  She will forever be in my heart!  Rest in Peace my amazing friend!  



We met Corinne through her niece Christina and her daughter Melanie.  Melanie lived in Norway at the time and her mom was visiting for New Year's.  We always have a large gathering at a friend's house on New Year's and of course Corinne was included in the festivities.  I remember her saying it was the most fun she had had for years, and she had good memories to take home with her.  I also have her recipe for enchiladas that we call Aunt Corinne's Sour Cream Enchiladas that I will remember her by each time I make it.  Rest in peace Corinne. 

My heart breaks for my family. Corrine and I were so close in age and although we rarely saw each other, we stayed connected via social media. We would often message one another, and would always comment on one another's posts. Corinne was a lady of adventure and so loved to have fun.  She loved her family so much.   Rest in peace my sweet niece, I know you are in the arms of God and your angel, your dad.

Corinne helped us greatly as we became first time parents. I remember how she helped paint our nursery and we spent a lot of time talking about “baby stuff”.  One of the many things she gave me was her favorite maternity dress she had saved and I wore it all the time. I loved it! I even wore it to the hospital to have Joshua.  When we brought him home Corinne, Melanie and Jacob were there to welcome us.  We had so much fun laughing and playing with our kids. 

 This photo was taken in our home after we finished painting with Letty McGarvin,  Dexter, New Mexico, September 1989
Rest in heaven, Corinne. We love you!
