Ms Coretta was a true example of a person of grace and dignity. What a wonderful Christian witness she was as she served people at M & M Drugs. The world needs more like her. Rest in peace, Ms Coretta. Love, Marilyn Goodroe

I have known "Miss Coretta" since I was a small child and always found her to be such a kind, gracious woman. She was a fixture at the drug store. She was the true epitome of southern grace.
