Many people knew Corinne for her amazing cooking from her restaurant The Dexter Cafe. She was always seen around town happily volunteering her time along with her husband Maurice.

They volunteered their time with Habitat for Humanity, as well as taking several mission trips to Nicaragua where their daughter Sheila and her husband Steve were serving as missionaries. In 1991 they moved back home to Dexter. She was actively involved in church life wherever she lived.
