Corine Lena McClendon, age 93, born on June 7, 1921, in Wesson, Miss., passed away on Monday, Jan. 26, 2015, at Resthaven Living Center in Bogalusa.

The last few years of Corine’s life were spent at Resthaven Living Center under the care of nurses and staff whom she quickly grew to love. During her time spent there she enjoyed reminiscing with old friends while making new ones along the way. Corine’s memory will never be forgotten by her children or grandchildren, whether it’s in the kitchen cooking one of her famous “Black Bottom Pies” or trying to perfect her “Secret Biscuit Receipt.” Corine loved the Lord and instilled the importance of faith in Him to everyone she knew.
