Aurelia Mae Guizzetti Brown Koreis
Long time Auburn resident, Aurelia Koreis, passed away on March 29, 2014 at the remarkable age of 98; family was by her side. Born in Enterprise, Iowa, on December 8, 1915 to parents Remigio and Emma (Piziali) Guizzetti, the family relocated to North Dakota where she met and married Henry Brown. They moved to Auburn in 1950. After 37 years of marriage, Henry passed away and Aurelia married Alan Koreis, whom she also survived.
Aurelia was an extraordinary cook and worked for years as a professional in the Auburn School District kitchens. She loved spending time with her family. She spent much of her relaxation time crocheting baby clothes and dolls, and was active at church bazaars and craft fairs selling her items. Aurelia had a passion for gardening and her yard displayed her talents. She planted and tended a large vegetable garden as well as beautiful flower gardens. She was a member of the Master Gardeners Assoc.
Aurelia is survived by four daughters: Shirley Clough (Russel) of Auburn; Joan Fisher of Renton; Carol Livingston Kuusisto (Jack) of Auburn; Cindy Card of Auburn; brothers Aldo Guizzetti (Anne) of Newark, DE; and Joseph Guizzetti (Alma) of Tacoma; 17 grandchildren and 31 great and great-great grandchildren.
