Corky was born in Cuyahoga Falls, OH on November 9, 1927. She was raised in New Philadelphia, OH and attended New Philadelphia High School. She met the love of her life – Gene Wardle – at Olgebay Resort in Wheeling, WV when she worked at the resort restaurant and he was a gardener. They married on December 21, 1946. Both Gene and Corky had successful careers at Sencorp. After their careers, they spent many years traveling the world spending time on all seven continents. Their summit trip was a six-week tour around the world. Corky was always active in her church at Casas Adobes Congregational United Church of Christ in Tucson, AZ until she moved to Texas in 2012.
