Corinne Donaldson was born on January 28th 1955 in Philadelphia, Pa to Ira Donaldson & Mary Elizabeth Jefferson. Corinne was educated through the Philadelphia public school system. Corinne known to some as "Rennie or "The WARDEN" to her family, and Ann to her friends. She was the Matriarch of the family keeping them together throwing block parties and special events. It was safe to say she was the family's favorite.

Corinne married her best friend who preceded her in death. Alford to some, Jesse to others who she loved for over 30 years! Corinne & Jesse did not get a chance to have their own children but they didn't miss a beat having their nieces & nephews over every weekend. Corinne helped raise her own siblings and countless nieces and nephews. If we claimed them, she named them leaving her last memories to one special Niece Alexis Tindal. Corinne worked for the Philadelphia school district and the Philadelphia Phillies stadium until she retired where she was also a light and a breath of fresh air!

Corrine leaves her love here on Earth to her long time love Jesse Alford (deceased), her six brothers Alfred (deceased), Ira Jr., Derrick, Vincent, Brian (deceased), Andrew Jr., four sisters Sonjaka, Dorinda, Kim and Mitzi, a special love for her Ringgold Street family, a host of nieces & nephews, family & friends, and one god daughter Khadijah (Pinky).
