Devout Catholic, endlessly forgiving Mother and Grandmother; loved the Dallas Cowboys, her family and above all Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Not a day went by that she did not pray for her entire family, she loved and cared more for her family than anyone ever will.

Corina and her sister Alicia were each other's shadow for years; an almost inseparable pair they traveled up and down California and Mexico together, sometimes with the church and sometimes with other friends a family. Corina joined the Ijas de Maria with her sister and having very strong feelings about her faith seriously considered joining the vocation, very nearly becoming a nun. She lived in El Paso her entire life in the family home with her brother and sisters until her daughter Sally invited her to come and live with her as Sally started her own family.

Arellano is survived by her daughter Sally R. Gonzalez, Son-in-law Francisco E. Gonzalez, granddaughter Adryen J. Gonzalez and her husband Ed R. Gutierrez, grandson Jesse R.
