I remember the good times we had at Burger King in North Branch. Corrine, Carol, Judy and myself Joyce. Always pleasant and with lots of laughs!! Will miss her. Thank you Corrine for your friendship and the great advice.
Oh, such blessed memories of praising and playing to our Lord Jesus with Corrine on the South Isanti church worship team,
Thank you Corrine for your always encouraging and compassionate words of assurance and grace
Dance girl, on those streets of gold!
So many wonderful memories of time with Corinne at Hermann Insurance Agency. She was a wonderful co-worker, friend, and neighbor. I’ll never forget the evening coffees around the table in her kitchen when Carl the yellow lab would sit on a kitchen chair and eat vanilla cookies with us. She always wanted the best for me and was so supportive after my own mother passed. Amazing woman, ahead of her time, and a wonderful friend. My sincere condolences to Charlie and Krissy and the entire Johnson family.
Our sympathy to Corrines family, Chuck and Kris and families. She leaves wonderful memories to all that knew her, RIP Corrine…… Vern and Betty Schlipp
Although. We were related we didn’t see much of her since we moved North! My favorite memory would be when we were at a birthday party I had my motorcycle there and she said she wanted a ride! She was so excited! Keep on riding Corrine! RIP
Corrine was a treasure! She always had a mischievous sparkle in her pretty eyes and was always ready to laugh at her friends’ and family’s witty banter. She was so young at heart, and it seemed to me she never aged until quite recently. I know her absence will be felt deeply by her family, friends, and the folks at South for a long time.
