Korinne Dannenmueller
ORAN, Mo. — Korinne Lyn Dannenmueller, daughter of James Dannenmueller and Vicky Kieffer Dannenmueller of Oran was born on March 27, 2001, at Sikeston, Missouri, and passed away on Monday, Feb., 22, 2021, at her residence in Oran at the age of 19 years.
She was a member of the Guardian Angel Church, loved going to the ocean and watching the cruise ships. Her biggest joy was in 2010 Make-A-Wish Disney Cruise on Halloween; she had her favorite things in life: the Ocean, Disney Friends, and the beach with all the colorful lights. Korinne enjoyed Special Olympics and being Queened at the Night to Shine and Southeast Missouri Angels pageants. She also enjoyed Oran boys’ and girls’ basketball.
Totally disabled, unable to walk, sit, or speak, she enjoyed life but was ornery as could be. Korinne was smart as a whip and never gave up on any of her many medical challenges. She could put you in your place really quick if she didn’t want to do something, and melt your heart completely with her beautiful smile. Her last great adventure was her graduation trip with Aiden’s great adventure. She traveled 13 states with family, watched the Macy’s 2019 parade where the balloons almost touched her head, visited the Statue of Liberty, 911 Memorial, many New York sites, and the Liberty Bell. She made sure to make it back home for the O.I.T. basketball tournament.
Besides her parents, survivors include seven sisters, Hailee Baker of Oran, Kayla (Brandon Meeker) Dannenmueller of Sikeston, Tracy Mitchell of Oran, Lori (John) Scheeter of Oran, Pamela Jolley of Morley, Justina Movall of Mount Pleasant, Iowa, and Katie Orhuela, of Colorado; one brother, Jason (Shania) Dannenmueller of Bethpage, Tennessee; maternal grandmother, Wilma Kieffer of Malinta, Ohio; one aunt, Gladys (Garry) Movall of Mount Pleasant; nephews, Langdon Scheeter, Aiden Scheeter, Blaine Jolley, Warren Jolley, and Odin Cockrell; nieces, Chelsey Holmes, Celeste (Dylan Squires) Holmes, Kaitlyn Jolley, Rayven Holmes, Juliette Orihuela, and Elena Dannenmueller; by special friends, Malia LeGrand, Katie and Haley Webb, Sondra and Derek Luttrell; caregivers, Sandra, Chelsey, Valerie, and all of her wonderful medical crew; along with other relatives and many friends.
