Mrs. Corina was born in Westerly, daughter of the late Paul and Bomina (Piezzo) Piccolo and had been employed as a weaver for George C. Moore Company until her retirement.

Corina and son-in-law David Siney of Florida, favorite and loving grandson Michael Siney of Westerly, her baby sister Julia Wilcox of Ashaway, her sister-in-law, Laura Corina of Westerly and many nieces and nephews.
