CORINNE JOINER Obituary
TERRELL
Corinne Terrell Joiner, age 90, died Sunday, June 10, 2012 following a brief illness. She was born in Cordele, Georgia, to John Presley and Leonna Sumner Terrell. They moved to Clermont, Florida, where she grew up. She stayed with her grandparents throughout the high school years and graduated from Andrew Jackson High School in 1939.
January 23, 1944, she married Jasper Newton Joiner and began the next phase of her life. They moved to Gainesville, Florida, in 1950 when Jasper joined the faculty at the University of Florida and spent the next sixty years building a family and many life-long friendships. She also was an active part of Haven Hospice and various other organizations because it was her heart to help others and support the community. She loved to travel, and Corinne and her husband led many garden tours through Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. She was an avid bridge player.
She loved the Lord and the church family in Holy Trinity Episcopal Church throughout her time in Gainesville and served in many capacities. Corinne attended St. Paul's Episcopal Church after her move to Winter Haven, Florida, four years ago and began building a new life and expanding her long list of friends.
She is survived by three children: James T. (Judy) Joiner of Winter Haven, Florida; Harry J. (Tona) Joiner of Lake City, Florida; and Jan J. Berletti (Charles) of Martinez, California, sister Elizabeth T. Holley, eight grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband Jasper, her sister Claire T. Grist, and her parents.
Funeral Services will be held at 2:00 PM on Saturday June 16, 2012, at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, 100 NE 1st Street, Gainesville, FL 32601. Interment will be private.
In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting memorial contributions be made to Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, 100 NE 1st Street, Gainesville, FL 32601 and/or Haven Hospice, 4200 NW 90th Blvd., Gainesville, FL 32606.

Sending loving peace to the hearts that miss this very special woman. Like Mary, I enjoyed the honor of being part of the 'Angel Faces' group. Thankfully, each of us can carry some of Corrine's love with us, until we meet her again.
Prayers

My love and sympathy to Jim, Jan, Harry, her sister, Betty and all her loved ones. I was Corinne's first cousin and loved her dearly. I have such fond memories of being with her at our grandparents home. She was beautiful and I adored her. I would tell everyone that my middle name was "Corinne" because I so wanted to be like her. I will miss our telephone chats, letters, etc. My siser, Marcella, loved her too. Prayers are with you....God Bless. Sylvia Beder (Jacksonville, FL)

My sympathy to all of you. Corinne was my second cousin. My Mother, Betty Huffer, was her first cousin and they were close. I believe Corinne's sister, Betty, was named for my Mother. Corinne was a sweet lady and I enjoyed our friendship and work on geneology. My prayers are with you.
