Georgene Corbett, 65,
formerly of Minot, ND,
passed away Tuesday,

Georgene Murrien Cor-
bett was born December 6,
1953, the daughter of
Myron and Grace (Burt)
Reck, in Red Lake Falls,
MN. She was raised in
Terrebonne Township
and educated in Mentor,
graduating from Mentor
High School. Shortly
thereafter, she took em-
ployment at JC Penney in
Thief River Falls, MN.
There, she met Douglas
Corbett, a radio broadcas-
ter. They were united in
marriage November 17,
1973 in Red Lake Falls
and after a brief time in
Mason City, Iowa, they
made their home in
Minot.
Georgene was a woman
of many hats and enjoyed
numerous hobbies. She
was an avid cook and
made quite possibly the
best Thanksgiving turkey
stuffing in the world.
Only on very rare occa-
sions could she be seen
without the latest Stephen
King novel within reach.
She was also an avid out-
doorswoman and enjoyed
camping, hiking, bird
watching and canoeing.
Some of her favorite times
and fondest memories
were those spent with
friends and family at their
lake house near Belmont,
Manitoba.
Georgene is survived
by: Her son, Grant Cor-
bett; mother, Grace Reck;
sisters, Shelly Richard
and Claudea Reck; broth-
ers, Milton, Mayo and
Milo Reck; and several
brothers-in-law,
sisters-in-law, nieces,
nephews and cousins.
She was preceded in
death by her husband,
Douglas; and father,
Myron.
