Remembering Coral...we went from 1st grade through high school together. I don't recall a time when I didn't know the Bolinski Family. We shared lots of fond memories in childhood together. We were 2 of 3 girls, our age (Debbie Robb Rooks) in Sunday School, with my Dad Bill, as teacher. We had fun, as he was always a big softy on us girls! We sang in Mrs. Snyder's Children's Choir for years. Loved going to her house every Christmas Season to make her awesome popcorn balls! My Mom was our 4-H leader, we won a first place ribbon in a talent show, singing several songs dressed like Mary Poppins!
Earl and Winnie Bolinske had a large family of 8, Coral was the 5th child born to them. Coral was petite, quiet and smart! I remember her pretty ringlets! I thought it was so cool they had a milk machine in their kitchen like the kind at school. I probably preferred all the activity at her house and she probably liked coming to my house where it was much quieter!
I'm sad to say we lost in touch after high school. I didn't know of Coral's passing in 2019 until recently. She will be remembered and missed by those who knew.
