Life story

Cordie was born in Du Bois, Pennsylvania, and was a resident of the Chattanooga area for most of her life. She was an incredibly hard worker, and retired from TVA in her early 50s. Cordie was a beloved family member and friend, and was a vibrant soul that left an impact on everyone that met her. She had many hobbies, and was an adventurous spirit who loved to stay busy. She loved gardening, crocheting, quilting, stained glass, riding her ATV, line dancing, and enjoyed riding a motorcycle as well. She was an avid traveler, and had visited all but 5 states. She loved the mountains of Colorado and Alaska. She loved a vibrant sunset and a great snow day to build a snowman, but most of all, she loved her family!
