Korleen loved spending time with her family and watching it grow She was always there with praise for everyone’s achievements. She was extremely organized and filled notebooks with pages of pictures, notes, cards, and newspaper clippings throughout the years of each child, grandchild and great grandchild. Her home had an open door, and we all knew where to find the frozen mini candy bars in the freezer!
Her faith was extremely important to her throughout her adult life. She was a founding member of Community Fellowship Church in Union City, IN. She read and studied her Bible every day, praying for family, friends, and those in need of prayer. She was always ready and able to quote a special Bible verse when the situation arose. We never began a family gathering or dinner without her blessing.
