Read MoreMy husband David and I met Coreen when she was the librarian at Huntertown Elementary School and our daughters were little. We all served in the Peace Corps so we bonded over those memories. Her husband Fred became a friend and ally on many equal justice and human rights causes.

I am so sorry for your loss. What a great lady. I loved working with your wife and mama. Remembering our recess duty days together! She always put a smile on my face. She was loved by all... Coreen had such a huge heart... SO loving and SO kind. She had such a love for life and love for people, nature and books. And of course, we shared our stories about family... All of you were her number one. She was very proud of her boys and loved her family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers....
