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
