Juanita Kass Corkern

December 2, 1935 — August 25, 2018

Juanita Corkern, age 82, passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 25, 2018 at her home in Gretna.

Born December 2, 1935, she was a friend to everyone and a stranger to no one. She was a kind, generous and loving person who put everyone in front of herself. She will be sorely missed.

She is survived by her husband of 60 years, Rayford Corkern, their five children: Sue Birou (Don Birou), Ray Corkern, Catherine Plaisance (Charlie Ward), Holly C. Helkenn (Richard Tomasello), and Donny Corkern (Loretta Corkern), 10 beloved Grandchildren, Jennifer Birou, Andy (Brianna) Merriman, Kayla (Sean) Estell, Amanda Plaisance, Samantha Plaisance, Lindsey Helkenn, Angel Gearhart, Cassie Corkern and 10 treasured Great Grandchildren.

Over the course of her lifetime, she donated to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. As this was a cause that meant so much to her, we would like to ask that in lieu of flowers, donations are considered to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital ( www.stjude.org ) in her honor.
