    I was so sorry to hear of this loss. Senorita Capote was a mentor and later a friend. She encouraged me to attend the language program at Middlebury College and she was always encouraging and supportive. She had an amazingly strong faith throughout life and was a source of inspiration. May she rest in peace, my condolences. Jeff Curran

    Loved working (chaplain) with Corina at St. Margaret's School in the early 1980's. Lost track of her and periodically did a search online! So sorry to have found this notice. Thanksgiving for her life and blessings to her family.

    Dear Family of Corina Capote, I am sorry for your loss; Senorita Capote was a wonderful teacher and a kind and interesting person. We became friends when I took her Spanish class at Franciscan University. I enjoyed visiting her and her cat and listening to her interesting stories of her life. With sympathy, Joanne McCraley
