Corrine made many special friends during her stay at Middlechurch including Violet who joined her for breakfast, lunch and supper; and Jean whose company she enjoyed in the courtyard feeding peanuts to the squirrels and bluejays.
The Richardson’s fostered many children throughout the years. Corrine was also an active member of the Bronx Park Community Centre, managing the canteen and chaperoning club dances. Throughout the late 1980’s to middle 1990’s, she worked at the YMCA, in the preschool program.
Thanks to Tracy and all the staff on N2 at Middlechurch Home for the care and kindness provided to Corrine during her stay there. Thanks also to all the neighbours and friends made during the Richardson’s many years in East Kildonan.
As per Corrine’s wishes cremation has taken place and a formal service will not be held.
If desired, a donation may be made to the Humane Society, any animal shelter or Middlechurch Home.

A lovely person and an expert in local history. She and Bill introduced us to great people on that famous porch.
And she shared a taste for Costco potato salad and the Market and red wine and…. what a wonderful life of service
and contribution to family and the neighborhood. goodbye, dear one.
Our deepest condolences to all.
You family, having lived in the Fraser’s Grove area I do remember your mom. Although, I did not know her personally her presence was known for all her contributions. We’d often she her on her daily drives throughout the neighborhood in her small silver car.
I certainly remember your mom from Bronx Park
Sending my deepest sympathies

Our sincere sympathies to Corrine’s family, and especially to those whom I know -David and Bev. Kamstra. Corrine and David are both my first cousins. Although Corrine and David lived in Winnipeg and my sister, Maeola and I lived in Selkirk, we did get to see each other quite often as we were growing up. Great fun and good memories. May she Rest in Peace.

There’s a big void in the neighborhood. I will always treasure many wonderful memories of Corrine and Bill. They enriched my life. Made a lot of good friends on their porch… in both human and pet form. My heart is broken, but have some comfort knowing they are together again. Sincere condolences to the family.
