Corenne "Bitsy Evans" Spaulding

SANTA FE – Corenne Spaulding passed away at the age of 83 on February 22, 2026, in Santa Fe.

Corenne was the youngest, born on September 14, 1942, in Dallas to Cecil and Madelyn (Gouph) Evans. She worked in administration for UTMB when she met Bobby Spaulding. After their courtship, the two were married in June 1965. She also worked for many years at Houston Lighting and Power Company. She loved cruises, log cabins, and everything Disney. She was an avid antique shopper, especially for Coca-Cola finds. She never missed a chance to cheer on the Houston Texans and, before that, the Oilers, and had a love for the Houston Astros. Corenne's compassion for others was evident in her volunteer work for SFISD and all school events for her kids and grandkids. She was a wonderful cook and in her quiet time, she loved reading a good mystery novel. We would be remiss to mention her love for country music which she listened to all the time. Her favorite musician being George Straight, "her boyfriend".

She was preceded in death by her parents, Cecil and Madelyn (Gouph) Evans; son, Randy Spaulding; sister, Jim Pat Speer; and sister-in-law, Dawn Ella Russell.
