Corrine Kay Beck

Feb. 27, 1948 ~ June 19, 2024

Corrine was born Feb. 27, 1948 in Cardston, Alberta, the youngest of six children. She took all of her schooling in Cardston.

In 1966 she married Wayne Beck. They had two children, Shawna and Todd. In 1972 Wayne started working at St. Mary’s Dam so the family moved there. A few years later she started working for Alberta Environment as well and stayed working there until her retirement. They moved from St Mary’s Dam into Magrath residing there until 1995 when they Wayne and Corrine moved to Lethbridge. Earlier this spring Corrine decided to move to Coronation to be closer to her daughter.

She was excited to be closer to her great grandkids. She loved more than anything to spend time with them, hearing all about their activities and spoiling them of course. Her other joy in life was making sure everyone was well fed. She loved to cook and bake, spending hours trying new recipes as well as using old favorites that everyone loved.
