Corinna Marion Battles, 39, of Palatka, entered the sunset of life unexpectedly on Wednesday, April 3, 2002, at North Florida Regional Medical Center, Gainesville, following a brief illness.
A native of Straubing, Germany, she was the daughter of Helen Spells Curley and Joseph Curley Jr., born Jan. 20, 1963, during her father's active military service.

Moriah Baptist Church under the pastorate of the late Rev. Jack A. Harrell. "Marion" was a faithful and loyal employee of the Holiday Inn, where she was the relief night auditor and a front desk clerk. She was a kind and compassionate mother who loved and cared for her three precious children. Her mother, Helen and her grandparents, Joseph and Louise Curley Sr., and Fred and Bertha Spells, all preceded her in eternal rest.
