Growing up Corene was a member of Mill Branch Baptist Church and joined New Hope Baptist Church in Anchorage. When she returned to Whiteville in 1999, she joined Central Missionary Baptist Church where she faithfully served until the Lord called her home. Worshiping onSundays was the best day of her week.
