Corrine was born June 5, 1947 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Gladys Gertrude Wyman Alder. She married Sterling Max Pierce on March 19, 1967 in Elko, Nevada and they enjoyed 53 years of marriage. Corrine grew up in Salt Lake City and graduated from Granite High School. She and Sterling made their home in Pleasant Grove where they raised their three sons. Corrine worked many years a Meat Cutter at Smith's Food King in both American Fork and Orem. She loved to garden and grew beautiful flowers and vegetables. Feeding the birds in her back yard was also something she enjoyed. She is survived by her husband and three sons: Shane Pierce, Layton, Utah; Todd (Pamela) Pierce, Katy, TX and Darrin (Veronica) Pierce, Pleasant Grove, Utah; 13 grandchildren and two great grandchildren; two brothers: Danny Martin and Raymond Martin.
