CORRIERE, IRMA ELIZABETH WILD
Irma Elizabeth Wild Corriere of Ankeny, IA, formerly of Metairie, went home
to her Lord after a lengthy illness on September 15, 2006, surrounded by
her family and the dedicated staff at Mercy Home Care and Medical Center,
in Des Moines, Iowa.  She was the wife of the late Frank Corriere and the
daughter of the late George F. Wild and Mamie M. Wild of Ponchatoula and
Madisonville, Louisiana. Irma is survived by her son, Frank Corriere, Jr.,
daughter-in-law, Kay S. Corriere, and grandson Frank Corriere III (Bourg)
who was never forgotten. She is also preceded in death by her grandparents
Casper and Evalina Wild and her siblings Inez Louise Wild Eaves of
Ponchatoula and Charles George "Rusty" Wild of Madisonville. She is
survived by her nieces, Beverly Jean Eaves Teel of Ponchatoula, Debbie
Eaves Trimm of Memphis, TN, Dawn Wild Moran of Mandeville, Fran Wild Pechon
of Madisonville, LA and nine great nieces/nephews and six great great
nieces and nephews.  Irma was baptized at St. Joseph's Catholic Church,
Ponchatoula, LA and later graduated from St. Scholastica girls school in
Covington, LA. She was a long time active parishioner of St. Catherine's
Catholic Church in Metairie, LA, where she lived from 1948-2000.  Irma
retired from Maison Blanche with over 20 years of service where she held
several different department managerial positions. Her favorite pastimes
were gardening, enjoying pets of all kinds, and bird watching. She loved
cooking the New Orleans favorites of Red Beans and Rice, Italian Meatballs
and Spaghetti, Gumbo, and Jambalaya. She never hesitated in sharing her
techniques with family and friends. She will be remembered for taking GODS
simple gifts, wrapping them in joy, and sharing them with others.
