She was preceded in death by her husband, William F. Wyan; her father, Charlie Roark; her mother and step-dad, Bertha Simpson and Martin McFadden; her granddaughter, Amanda Holcomb; and her grandparents, Boone Simpson and Martha Brummett. Corina Wyan was raised in the Redbird area and moved as a teen to the London suburbs. She was reared from humble beginning, working as a waitress where she met her soulmate and on Dec. 24th, 1958, they were married and remained so the rest of their lives. After the birth of their girls, jobs were scarce so Bill moved his family to Dallas to pursue a better life. Corina was a ultimate homemaker and caregiver for the family. Along with raising a family she also worked. She retired after 26 years at Sears only to return to work as a clerk for the City of Dallas Police Department and retire again with another 23 years. She had a strong foundation of faith in God. She was accustomed to the Baptist faith but in later years she maintained membership at The Cumberland Presbyterian Church of Mesquite. Corina enjoyed spending time with her family and her cat, Itty Bitty. She loved to fish and went on many trips with her husband. Having loved the outdoors, she could often be found working in her yard and flowers. She maintained the passion of cleaning and was rarely seen without her broom. She was a true homemaker and cook. She made everyone feel as family and that they were home. A Graveside Prayer (not a Graveside Service) for Corina Wyan will be held on Saturday, September 4, 2021 at 11:00 am at Cumberland Memorial Gardens in Lily, KY. The family will receive friends on Saturday, September 4, 2021 beginning at 9:30 a.m. until the funeral procession that begins at 10:30 a.m. in the chapel of House-Rawlings Funeral Home.
