Corrine M. Crino, 89, of Dunkirk passed away on Wednesday, August 3, 2022 after a brief illness at her daughter's house, surrounded by her loving family to join her Lord and loving husband, Carm, who predeceased her six years ago, August 4, 2016. She was born on July 2, 1933 in Dunkirk to the late Joseph and Jennie (Valvo) Solazzo.
During her career, Corrine started working early on at the Fredonia Pizza Factory and followed with working for the Dunkirk School System, where she started as a lunch monitor, enjoying many numerous children she had the pleasure of serving and then later becoming the most famous baker. She was known for all of her goodies, especially her 10-inch chocolate chip cookie that she specially made for everyone's birthday.
Corrine was a devoted and generous wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend who cherished everyone. She was a parishioner of Holy Trinity Church.
Her many joys in life included going to coffee with her dearest friends, playing at the casino, shopping after coffee, but most of all, spoiling and enjoying time with her family.
Survivors include her devoted and loving daughter, Connie and one and only son-in-law, Jeff Galardo of Dunkirk; her precious grandchildren whom she lived for, Jeff Galardo, Jr. (Mariea) of Sumter, SC, Felicia (Robert) Nichols of Fredonia and Nicole Galardo of Depew; three great-grandchildren whom she adored, Ethan, Wulfric and Salvatore (Sammy) of Sumter, SC; as well as many beloved family and friends who will miss her dearly. Besides her parents and husband, Corrine is predeceased in death by her brothers and sisters, Peter (Mae) Solazzo, Russell (Lucille) Solazzo, Grace (Edward) Sobilo, Lucille Solazzo and Michael Solazzo.
The family would like to extend their sincere gratitude to Hospice for all they did for Corrine in her remaining days, especially Kate and Karen.
