Message: My condolences to the Chaske Girls and families, may our Creator give you the strength and guidance during this difficult time and days to come. It was an honor to know your mother Corrine, she was always so nice to me and my family and always had a smile on her face. My younger brother Randy always said he really enjoyed working with her at the Casino he said "for an elder she was the hardest worker there". I use to enjoy years back being her floorwalker at the bingo hall she was always giggling, smiling and just enjoying what she liked to do "daubing as fast as she can and peacefully wait for the next number to pop up on the screen". Corrine was a great woman and will be greatly missed by all who knew her. May she rest easy and fly high with all who have gone before us.

Her smile, sense of humor, and wisdom are just a few of traits we experienced and will always remember; her welcoming and kind words meant more to us than I'm sure she even realized. May your memories bring you comfort in this most difficult time.
