"My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever." Psalms 76:23

Eugenio Corona Villa was born November 15, 1937, to the union of the late Trinidad Corona and the late Herminia Villa Corona in Zapote Bandolo, Michoacán, Mexico. He accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior at an early age, and attended the St. Stanislaus Kostka Catholic Church in Chicago, IL and the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Hartford, MI.  

Eugenio Corona and Florentina Hernandez met in Michoacán, Mexico and were married. Through this union of more than 50 years, 10 beautiful children were born: Fermin, Magdalena, Trinidad, Guadalupe, Jose, Patricia, Jesus, Alejandro, Felipe, and Angel.  

Eugenio loved to spend time with his wife outdoors raising chickens, goats, gardening, and hunting with his sons. Eugenio loved being surrounded by family and friends while enjoying laughter, conversation, music, and good food.

Eugenio wore many hats, he worked at Appleton as a machinist and at Gold Wings as a delivery courier in Chicago, IL. He also worked as a machinist for many years at Miracle wire in the Southwest, MI area, where he retired after many years.  He took pride in dedicating himself to a strong work ethic, driven by the desire to be a great provider for his family.  Eugenio will truly be missed!
