Corinne Arthur
February 15,1919 - February 4, 2018

It is with a heavy heart that I share with you the news of Corinne Arthur's passing on Sunday, February 4, 2018.  Corinne was a beloved lifelong member of our St. Andrew's family and her spirit will fill every corner of our Sanctuary.

Please join the family at Shepherd Funeral Home in Pembroke on Wednesday evening, 4:00-8:00 PM for visiting hours.

A funeral service will be held here at St. Andrew's on Thursday, February 8th at 11:00 AM.  Following the service, the internment will be at Pembroke Center Cemetery, after which all are invited back to St. Andrew's for a collation service with food and fellowship.

Below is the link to her obituary on the Shepherd Funeral Home website:
Directions to the funeral home can also be found on their website.

Please remember the Arthur family in your prayers and the lasting memories we will all share of Corinne.
