Corrine Miles

Our mother, grandmother and great grandmother, Corinne Godbe Miles, returned home to our Heavenly Father on November 16, 2015 at her home in Salt Lake City, Utah. She passed away of natural causes.
Corinne was born to Murray and Ruth Godbe on November 30, 1923 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Corinne graduated from East High then went on to the University of Utah where she met her husband, Edwin Ruthven Miles, IV. They were married in Pittsburg, Kansas and then sealed in the Salt Lake Temple six months later when he returned from serving in World War II. She graduated from college on the same day that their oldest child, Christine, graduated from Anaheim High School.
Corinne accomplished much during her life. Corinne taught the gospel doctrine class in church for 14 years, was a seminary teacher, and an Institute Instructor at Westminster College and Salt Lake Community College. She served in every ward and stake position available to women in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She served as a member of the Utah State Women’s Legislative Council, the University of Utah Alumni Class Vice President, Republican Party District Vice Chairman, American Contemporary Theatre Board of Directors, Trustee of the Brigham Young Family Association, National Director of Educational Services for Odyssey House, and Director of the Osmond Foundation. She and her husband established many tutoring schools in Utah. She was honored with the “Utah Woman of the Year” award by the Deseret News. One of her most notable accomplishments was her involvement in genealogy research—submitting thousands and thousands of names to the LDS church. Recently the University of Utah requested her written history for the 20th Century Women’s Legacy Archive that was contained in over 200 volumes. She and her husband established tutoring schools in Utah.
Corinne is survived by her ten children; Christine Nelson (Rick), David Miles, Ann Reynolds (Blair), Michelle Richards (Craig), Rick Miles (Kathy), Scott Miles (Dana), Kathy Miles, John Miles, Karen Densley (Bif), and Debi Aguirre (Dale), along with 189 additional direct descendants Corinne is also survived by her sister Joan Huber (Ron). Corinne was preceded in death by her husband, Edwin R. Miles IV, two grandchildren, Johnny Cone and Jason Miles, and a great grandchild, Elizabeth May Nelson, and her brother Murray Godbe.
