MARYELLEN "KORKI"'s Story
Most people still use my nickname to this day. My nickname is Korki. I have 8 children and 19 grandchildren. I am very much in love with my husband and couldn't imagine life without him. He is my best friend. Two of my sons are born to me, a daughter and son were step-children that I raised, and 3 boys and a girl are adopted, but you would never know how diversified our family is. They are and always have been as close as any natural born siblings.
We live near the lake. We just moved off the lake into a bigger house to have more room for our grandchildren to spend a lot of time with us. This house has a "kids cave" and a "man cave" in our basement. My grand kids love spending as much time here as possible.... so you can imagine where everyone hangs out. All of my children are now in Michigan including my son Joey, an x-Marine. Everyone e is close enough for me to see them a lot. My children are Jason, Jere...Expand for more
my, Sarah, Danny, Jayme, Thom, Joey, and Steven. Steven will be getting married in June 2016 and he was my last one at home. He and his fiance', Danielle, just moved to a place about 20 minutes away in St. Helen. So all of our kids are out of the house!!!! We are a very close family and they hold my heart.
My best friends are my sister, Darlene, and you probably remember Rose Mary Zappa (graduated in 1964). I have been friends with both of them for about the same number of years. Rose Mary and her husband, Walt, bought a cottage up here just down the road, so we see a lot of them. My sister and her family live in Arizona and I really miss her. All of my family except my brother, Fred, moved to AZ, including my Mom. I love them dearly.
I would love to hear from the Nasty Nine! I often think of those days and those adventures and those friends.....Must come with age! LOL
I am a very happy, vey blessed person.
