Deliverance under the leadership of Pastor Gray.
Corena worked for Brach’s Candy Factory for many years.
She later worked for Addis Home Health Care, from where
she retired. Although she retired, she still did private care for
people that she knew and their families.
Corena was known to many as “Coco.” She was very well
known. Everywhere she went, she knew somebody that knew
somebody. She loved to play cards and Keno with her family.
Whenever she started to lose, she called everyone “Janky!”
She enjoyed working as the security, maintenance, supervisor
and overseer of the Salvation Army. She was loved by the
many tenants in her building as well as the leadership team
of the Salvation Army. She was loved by her family and many
friends. She loved to send cards in the mail and had beautiful
handwriting.
