Corinne Frances Davis, 50, of Wilkes-Barre, PA, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, July 19, 2025. Born on October 12, 1974, at Wyoming Valley Hospital in Wilkes-Barre, she was the daughter of the late Corrie Lee McGahee and Joy Marie Davis.
Corinne was a woman of extraordinary strength and fierce devotion to others. Throughout her life, she lived selflessly, always putting the needs of her family and friends before her own. Known for her unwavering honesty and courage, Corinne never hesitated to speak her truth – she would tell it exactly how it was, no matter the circumstances.
A devoted mother to her son, Najeeb Hammarabbi Bilal, and a cherished grandmother to 5-year-old Kayden Imani Bilal, Corinne's love knew no bounds. Her grandson brought immense joy to her life, and their special bond was evident to all who witnessed it.
Corinne had a deep and abiding faith in God that guided her through life's challenges. Her spiritual nature extended beyond traditional religion – she was fascinated by spirituality and loved engaging in profound conversations about the afterlife and life's deeper meanings. Her wisdom and courage were unmatched, providing comfort and guidance to countless people whose lives she touched.
Throughout her career, Corinne worked as a caretaker, as well as in various factory and restaurant positions. Her nurturing spirit made her a natural caregiver, and she approached every job with dedication and compassion.
Corinne had a zest for life that was infectious. She loved taking trips and exploring new places, always accompanied by her beloved electric scooter – which she proudly preferred over any car. Her love for animals was well-known, and she had a special way with all creatures. Chinese food was her absolute favorite, and many memories were made sharing meals with family and friends.
Above all, Corinne was known for her generous heart and the love she poured into every relationship. She was truly one of a kind – a person who had everything to give and gave it freely. Her legacy of love, strength, and unwavering loyalty will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
In addition to her mother, Joy Marie Davis, Corinne is survived by her son, Najeeb Hammarabbi Bilal; her grandson, Kayden Imani Bilal; her siblings: Kevin Davis, Yvette Davis, Nyrie Mason, and Leah McGahee-Williams; and countless friends who considered her family.
She was preceded in death by her father, Corrie Lee McGahee (2005), and her brother, Corrie Lee Davis (February 2025).
