| Birthday- Corke, Sylvia RVM Resident Is 100 Years Old
One hundred years ago Sylvia G. Kern Corke entered the world! On May 30, 1902 at Valley Falls, Sylvia became the first daughter of Benjamin and Emma Kern. She was the fourth of nine children. Mrs. Corke graduated from Valley Falls High School and Strickler’s Business College and taught school until April 20, 1924, when she married Clyde M. Corke.
Homemaking brought special joy to Sylvia, especially her two children, Gene (deceased) and Glenn. She loved cooking, sewing, gardening, and crocheting. In addition, Sylvia was an active member of the North Topeka Baptist Church.
Since 1992, Mrs. Corke has resided at Rossville Valley Manor. She continues to be a soft-spoken, gently woman much loved by family and friends.
