On September 17, 2016, Beloved Sister, Aunt, and Friend, Corrine V. Cortez joined her Father, Mother, and Brother in the embracing presence of divine peace.

Corrine was 73 years old and resided in San Antonio. She is survived by her sister, Mary Louise Lisowski and husband Thomas; brother, Fernando Cortez; nieces and nephews, J. Cortez, Consuelo Lozano, Belinda Foster and husband John, Antonio, Marisol, Aixita and Elvirita Leija, Joel and Tommy Lisowski, Cora Dorer, Frances Cox, Christina Cortez; goddaughter, Lisa Ortiz; and cherished relations spanning the continent from Mexico to Michigan.

Corrine was born in Mount Clemens, Michigan.  She was a loving, feisty, no nonsense individual who valued independence.  She loved flowers and the colors of spring.  Her animal companions were her babies.  Her devotion to her family was generous, sacred, loving, and self sacrificing.  She maintained an unwavering faith in God and his goodness, defending God's divinity ferociously.

Visitation begins Sunday September 25, at 3:00 P.M. with a Rosary to be recited at 6:00 P.M. at the Angelus Chapel.  Funeral Mass is on Monday September 26 at 10:30 A.M. at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Little Flower.  Interment will follow in San Fernando Cemetery 2.
