CORINNE NATALIE KILLEEN (SOOST) December 9, 1963 - November 22, 2011 Corinne had a three and a half year long battle with cancer which didn't stop her from enjoying life. Corinne will be lovingly remembered by her husband Warren, son Cole and daughter Joelle, parents Gary and Charlotte Soost, brothers Kurt Soost, (Evelyn, Cassyn, and Jessa), and Richard Soost, and father-in-law Donald J. Killeen of Winnipeg. Corinne was a devoted, loving, caring and nurturing mom to Cole and Joelle. Her children were the center of her universe. She was always available for them whether it was for homework or as an avid soccer mom vocally cheering her children on. Cole loved his late night TV sessions and driving with his mom because it was just the two of them. Joelle's fondest memories are of cuddling and talking with her mom. Charlotte and Gary are loving and devoted parents to Corinne and during her illness were a constant support for her. Words cannot express the efforts made by Kurt; his love for Corinne had him searching the globe for a cure. Rich loved Corinne dearly and will miss his movie and Bellini nights with his sister. Corinne cherished her time with her family. Warren and Corinne began their life together in Winnipeg and shared a passion for competitively racing their hobie-18 sailboat in their earlier years before the arrival of their children. Corinne has an X-ray Technologist and a Mammography degree. Patients appreciated her caring and compassion and the radiologists recognized the quality of her work. Her friends were important to Corinne. Her trips to Las Vegas with Kim and friends were some of the best times she ever had. A favourite event of Corinne's was GNO (Girls Night Out), a get together to share laughter and stories. The family would like to send a special thanks to Melanie, Sandy and the caregivers at Southwood Hospice. In lieu of flowers, it is Joelle's wish that any charitable donations be made in memory of her Mommy to The Tom Baker Cancer Centre through the Alberta Cancer Foundation at albertacancer.ca or by phoning (403) 521-3433. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, December 3, 2011 at 2:00 p.m., at Bethany Chapel (3333 Richardson Way SW, Calgary, AB 403-249-8605) with a Celebration of Life to follow.
