Emma Corden Obituary

Emma "Nona" Corden

Emma, 86 passed away April 2, 2013 peacefully with her family around her. She is survived by her daughter Olivia Lusk; Son Gary Corden; four Grandchildren; seven Great Grandchildren and is predeceased by her husband William Corden; daughter Patricia Cecchi.


She cherished her family and enjoyed life. Her sense of humor and laughter put a smile on your face. She loved playing bingo and was an avid sports fan of the SF49ers, SFGiants & the Oakland A's. She had a heart of gold and a kind generous soul. Emma leaves us with wonderful sweet memories that will always remain deep in our hearts. She touched the hearts of all her family and friends and will be forever missed.


A Memorial Mass will be said at 11:00am Friday, May 3, 2013 at St. Bruno's Catholic Church, 555 W San Bruno Ave, San Bruno, CA.
