BRONSON, Iowa -- Betty Corrie, 82, of Bronson died Thursday, April 15, 2010, at her residence following a lengthy battle with COPD.
Services will be 11 a.m. Monday at Elliott Creek Presbyterian Church in Bronson, with the Rev. Cyndy Ripperger officiating. Burial will be in Floyd Township Cemetery, Bronson. Visitation will be 4 to 8 p.m. today, with the family present 6 to 8 p.m. and a prayer service at 7 p.m., at Morningside Chapel, Christy-Smith Funeral Home in Sioux City.
Betty Jean Sunderland was born Dec. 28, 1927, in Sioux City, Iowa, the fifth of seven children to Edwin D. Sunderland and Nellie E. Cox. She attended Sioux City Schools.
She married Samuel L. Corrie on March 16, 1946, in South Sioux City, Neb. They worked the family farm for their entire married lives. She was more than just a farm wife, she was his partner in everything. Before her marriage, she worked at Palmer Candy Company rolling the cherry centers for Bing candy bars for 18 cents an hour. Later, she worked in the cafes in Bronson, Morningside Savings Bank and Sioux City Stockyard Auction.
She was a long-standing member of Elliott Creek Presbyterian Church, where she was a Bible school teacher and a session member and was a charter member of the "Iowa Rules, Hand and Foot Card Club." She had a sweet, gentle spirit about her which will be missed by all who knew her.
Survivors include her husband, Sam of Bronson; children, Jean (Noel) Plummer, Paul (Ginny) Corrie and Michelle (Scott) Schroeder, all of Bronson; nine grandchildren; many great-grandchildren; two sisters, Janet (Gerald) Curran of California, and Bobbie (Tom) Hackney of Arizona; sisters-in-law, Anna Sunderland of Lincoln, Neb., and Pauline Jones of Storm Lake, Iowa; and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents; a daughter, Patricia in infancy; mother-in-law and father-in-law, Paul and Elena Corrie; sisters and brothers-in-law, Pauline (Ben) Bryan and Marjorie (Art) Dugovic; brothers, Vernon and Edwin Sunderland; daughter-in-law, Judy Corrie; and sister-in-law and brothers-in-law, Shirley and Mel Olson and Al Jones.
The family would like to thank all who were so good to Betty during her long illness, but especially Theresa, Jessie and Mary Jo of Hospice, and special caregiver, Mary. They cared for her with great kindness and love, and she loved them all.
Memorials in her name may be directed to Hospice of Siouxland.
