Coreen enjoyed taking care of her home and cooking meals for her family. Fresh bread and cinnamon rolls were made nearly every week on the farm. When adult children came for a visit, she looked forward to preparing their favorite meals. Reading and crossword puzzles were two of her passions. Even when her children were little, she took time to solve the daily newspaper puzzle. She also enjoyed a slice of pie and any flavor of ice cream. She loved animals, especially cats and was a strong supporter of the Humane Society. Her beloved cats, Leo and Charlie, were considered part of the family. She was a member of the Democratic party and was always ready to discuss current events. In 2000 she moved from Winner to Sioux Falls to be closer to family.
