Corky relocated to VT 2 ½ years ago to be with her daughter, previously residing in Sarasota, FL. There, she was employed as a Real Estate Agent. Corky enjoyed, listening to Elvis, spending time with her dogs, taking trips to the local Humane Society with her grandson Levi and watching Judge Judy.

She was known for her spectacular potato salad and her love of Thanksgiving; she enjoyed cooking dinners and spending time with family. She was also quite a seamstress.
