Corlene “Corey” H. Armstrong went peacefully home to her Lord on
Sunday, May 24, 2020 at age 88. She recently was a resident of White
Cliffs Senior Living Community in Kingman, Arizona. Corey resided at
her ranch east of Kingman for decades.

She was not only one of the nicest, most generous and hospitable
people anywhere, surrounded by caring friends, she was also an astute
businesswoman, building a trucking company and acquiring and turning a
second one around with her late husband Fred. While she would never
admit it, she was instrumental in the financial success of those
businesses, which they sold at retirement, before moving to Arizona.
Never dull, Corey loved cats and rode her 4-wheelers around the ranch
into her 80s. She grew up in Cedartown, Georgia and began her career
in Arlington, Texas. Fred and Corey were married for 48 years before
his death in 2004.

Corey was the daughter of Maude and Julius Head, born in Candor, North
Carolina.

She is survived by her Arizona family, Peggy and Ed Strain; brother’s
son, Edward Head; his widow, Linda Head; Michael and Jill Hainkel,
Richard and Lori Hainkel, Conrad and Rose McGinnis, Wayne Kelly, Scott
and Lori Kelly and Stanley Young. Corey leaves many great-nieces and
great-nephews.

Corey touched children’s hearts both here and abroad, which filled her
heart with friendship and love for an extended family.
