Obituaries

Dear Coreen - I'm saddened to discover your passing. My memories of you and our travels together and with Jesse, Lucas and my kids to Nashville and Disney World are still alive and come to me often. (I still use the Micky Mouse coffee cup you gave me. ) Like others have said, you were one of a kind; A firebrand in your own unique way. In the early days of the internet, you went by the name Paving-Chic , as if to still carry the identity of a past life. When I suggested you abandon that and take your rightfully deserved personal identity, you Chose CJ. And that stuck. I remember how lit up you were, how amazed you were to finally "see and understand" that you are you, a wonderful individual and mother. You were lit up, and that grabbed my heart. Thank You for the times we spent, the acceptance you offered and secrets we shared. Distance and family situations dictated that our futures were destined for separate paths (sadly). I think about our trip on the ferry to Victoria and spending the day at the Leonard DaVinci exhibit that by sheer coincidence was there. That was a dream of mine, a dream come true and you were there to share. I remember the mischief we got into in the museum and on the docks only you and I will know). I also remember the applause of the crowd of passengers on the ferry you and I were surprised to get. (Another story between us). Another cherished memory was at Daytona Intl. Speedway. I got in that car and went 170mph around that track and you were there, cheering me on. Another dream come true that likely would not have happened had it not been for traveling with you. Rest forever in peace, free from pains and bondages of Earth. -- “The Lord is gracious and full of compassion” (Psalm 145:8). Lord I pray that you welcome Coreen with Your mercy, surround her with Your light, and let Your love lead her into the book of life. Amen.

😆 a great friend. I miss her. Back in the day. We got into the shannigans. See you on the otherside

Coreen aka "Cj" was a diamond in the rough. Tough as nails on the outside but a sweet and caring person inside. I consider myself lucky to have spent the short time that we had together. A firecracker of a personality! Very funny at times : ) So smart about life in general. She loved her family so much.... I hope that Cj has touched other peoples live's as she has mine. Love you always and forever babe. Scott XOXO

I will remember the many laughs, the fun times and the shenanigans with Coreen as friends in high school. We reconnected for get togethers over the past 10 years and enjoyed catching up and reminiscing, I am thankful for the time we had, right up to our last visits in the hospital. You will be missed and always remembered by many. My heartfelt condolences to all her family. "When you lose someone you love, you gain an angel you know". RIP my friend xo Tracey Magee

Well….where does one start when there has been literally all our lives to think back on? My “Sissy~Cousin” was a force of nature! Always said what was on her mind, whether you wanted to hear it or not! From bumps & scrapes, to being there when we lost Auntie Bev, & Uncle Norm, Madison’s graduation, sad times & happy ones. I remember when I had just learned to ride a bike…..Coreen was chasing me, I hit a rock & flew off into the toolies! I scraped myself pretty good & when healed, promptly slipped as we were getting into our swimming pool & scraped myself in the same places! The time we went camping with Auntie Lynne & Uncle Ron in their old Jeep (I think). I slept in the front by the gear shift & the 3 of them slept in the back. I was up all night, terrified that I was going to knock the shifter out of place & roll off the cliff! Was there a cliff? Not sure but all those blackberries we came home with were worth the sleepless night!The Tinkertime Picnics were always a blast as we were usually attached at the hip when we were together. I will forever miss her laugh, snorts, farts & all! As I said before, when I get there, I will come & find you 💞

There is no one in this world like Coreen. She was a Special friend so full of laughter and so many Great times were shared together thru the years . We will all Miss you so much My Friend . Untill we meet again ! From Jannice & Bob Collins & Cody and Chelsea
