Cory was mom to a busy family of 5, her husband David, 16 year old daughter, Maddy, 12 year old son, Evan, and 6 year old daughter Charlotte. Her kids were her motivation. She wanted her kids to remember a happy childhood, not one that is filled with worry and fear. Cory enjoyed making memories with her family. They were able to enjoy a trip to Florida with family before she lost her battle with stage IV breast cancer.
