Corrine was born June 19, 1918, in the Leyden, ND area to Joe and Eva (Carignan) Clifford. She grew up in the Leroy area where she attended school.
On November 11, 1937, she married Loran Hoff at Leroy, ND. They farmed near Concrete, ND for many years. She was a fabulous cook, immaculate housekeeper, and always available to help friends and family on a moments notice.
In 1975, they retired and moved to the "Condo" in Walhalla. They enjoyed traveling to Europe, many trips to California and taking their camper to Renwick Dam. They also enjoyed two special little people in their lives, April and Tyler Schurman, becoming "grandma and grandpa" to them.
Another phase of life began when she became Loran's caregiver, a role she lovingly carried out for nine years. Loran died October 22, 1992.
She was a very special lady, full of care, compassion, and love. She was a treasure in our lives and will be forever cherished.
