Memorial services will be Wednesday, Sept. 6, 2006, at Saint Joseph's Catholic Church, with Father Tim Hoag officiating, inurnment will be at Black Hills National Cemetery near Sturgis. Marlyn was born in Rockham, S.D., on April 12, 1927, to Carl and Maude (Benning) Corkins. He grew up on a farm near Rockham. He joined the United States Army in 1946 and received an honorable discharge. He returned to Rockham where he worked various jobs until he met the love of his life, Agnes. The couple were married in 1951 and moved to the Black Hills where their two daughters, Connie and Carol, were born. Corky worked for Homestake Gold Mine for five years and loved working at the Lawrence County Highway Department where he retired as foreman after 32 years. Corky enjoyed traveling with his wife, family, and friends throughout the U.S. He took one special trip to Ireland, but his heart belonged to the Black Hills where he enjoyed fishing, hunting, and touring. He loved get-togethers with friends to play cards and following his two favorite teams: the Colorado Rockies and the Denver Broncos. Corky lived life to the fullest and brought joy to all he met with a ready joke and his contagious smile. Corky never met a stranger and will be deeply missed by family and friends. Corky is survived by his wife of 55 years, Agnes Corkins of Spearfish, two daughters; Connie "Jean" Hamilton of Maricopa, Ariz., and Carol (Ed) Ledyard of Spearfish, two grandchildren; Erin and Devon Hamilton, and his four-legged granddaughter, Peanut. He is also survived by two brothers; Ralph (Emmaline) Corkins and Walter "Spark" (Beverly) Corkins and two sisters; Alice Hardie and Fern Willis, three sisters-in-law; Leila Jungwirth, Evelyn Harr and Crystal Jungwirth all of Redfield, S.D., one brother-in-law Leon Severance of Zell, S.D., and numerous nieces and nephews. Corky was preceded in death by his parents, two brothers and three sisters. Arrangements have been placed in the care of Fidler-Isburg Funeral Chapel of Spearfish.
