Coreen was born April 28th, 1937, in Minahico, in the District of Rainy River, and moved to Lakeside, in Kenora, in 1942. She met the love of her life, Lennie Webster, while roller skating. They were married in 1955. Coreen and Lenny had 3 daughters, and they spent 10 happy years together in Donkirk Heights. She enjoyed camping and fishing with her young family. Coreen remembers her neighbours being like one big family. She spent many afternoons and evenings with the ladies playing cards and was a member of the neighbourhood bridge club. Even after Coreen moved to the other side of Rabbit Lake, they remained lifelong friends and always enjoyed sharing stories of past times.
Later in life, Coreen enjoyed winter excursions to Arizona where she formed many new friendships. She always came back with entertaining stories about her adventures in the sun. Some of her best adventures included shopping and dancing the night away.
Coreen’s favourite times were spent with family at Lexy’s camp on Black Sturgeon Lake during the summer months. She loved to be surrounded by her children and grandchildren and cherished their time together. She was especially proud of her great grandchildren and was always thrilled when they came to visit.
Coreen will always be remembered for her love of shopping, her flair for style and her infectious smile. She was a real character and was known for her wit and sense of humour. Coreen will be greatly missed by her family and especially by her grandchildren and great grandchildren who loved going to visit their “Grammy.”
The family wishes to express a sincere thank you to all the amazing staff at Pinecrest, especially Patti Frenette, Jan Brookes, Gillian Sundin, Heather Alcock, Michael Limerick and many others who were always there to brighten her day and make her feel loved. The devotion and care extended to Coreen during her time at Pinecrest is greatly appreciated. She especially looked forward to her frequent visits with some of her favourite relations: Judy, Wendy and Heather (the terrible trio). In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Pinecrest Home Auxillary. A Service of Celebration will be held at Pinecrest Auditorium on Wednesday, January 8th, 2020 at 1pm.
