Maurina Kelsey Corley

Maurina Kelsey Wiese Corley,79, of Cameron passed gently into the arms of her Lord and savior Jesus Christ on August 30, 2019, surrounded by loving family and friends. Services will be held Saturday, September 14, 2019, at 11:30 a.m. at the First United Methodist Church of Cameron, TX with graveside burial  at 4 p.m. in the Calvert Cemetery in Calvert TX.  There will be an opportunity for friends  to view and pay their respects anytime between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Friday, September 13, at Green-Patterson Funeral Home in Cameron, TX.

She lovingly and generously touched the lives of anyone who knew her…whether you knew her as a Valedictorian and head cheerleader at Calvert High School class of 1958…an Honors graduate at Baylor University Class of 1962…a school teacher…business owner and community leader…choir director and soloist…music and voice teacher…legal assistant…the county clerk’s office…the town librarian…a dear/lifelong or recent friend… or just someone to say hello to.  However, she will no doubt be remembered most for her gifted voice – which she shared generously with the people and communities she loved - singing for countless weddings, funerals, church services and  special events.

Maurina was born February 17, 1940, in Marlin, TX to Walter Clifford Wiese Jr. and Maurine (Kelsey) Wiese. She was preceded in death by her parents, one brother, Walter Clifford Wiese III, and one nephew, Walter Clifford (Cliff)Wiese IV.
