Kristen “Corki” Brumley, 57 of Kouts, Indiana, formerly of Baker, Louisiana, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by her family on Monday, February 8, 2021. She was born November 17, 1963 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana to Hollis Jackson “Jack” Milton and Marjorie (Munson) Milton. Corki graduated from Baker High School and made her career as the Co-Owner, Office Manager, and Bookkeeper of Applied Sealing Products, Inc. in Valparaiso, which she proudly owned and operated with her husband, Kenny. She attended Valparaiso Nazarene Church and helped those in need through various church ministries. Her compassionate and giving heart showed in her love for rescuing animals, and volunteering with BARC in Valparaiso and Dog People of Livingston Parish in Louisiana. Corki was also a talented woodworker who made and re-finished furniture for her family and friends. Above all else, what she loved the most was her family. Holding the title of “Maw Maw” to her beloved grandbabies was an honor and a privilege for Corki. She will be fondly remembered as a warrior, with a spunky and feisty personality, and loyal nature. Although she will be dearly missed, Corki’s light shines bright in the lives of the people she touched.  On December 14, 1985 in the Baker Methodist Church, which her grandfather built, in Baker, Louisiana, Corki married the love of her life, Kenny Brumley, who survives. She is survived by their daughters: Kori (Stephen) Black of Valparaiso, Kayla (Jake) Keith of Valparaiso, Kelsey (Bryant) Barrera of Kouts, Charlie (Jason) Helton of Murphy, TX; grandchildren: Olivia Mae Brumley, Logan and Kinsley Keith, Benjamin and Samuel Barrera, Tyler, Dyllan and Lincoln Helton; siblings: Tim (Debbie) Milton, Kim Smith, Shannon Howell; mother-in-law, Mary Ann (Brumley) Wallace; best friend, Tracy Aycock Johnston; and many loving nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and beloved pets. She was preceded in death by her parents; fathers-in-law: Jasper O. Brumley and Marion Lee Wallace; brother-in-law, Rodney Smith; and animal soul mate, Meggie.
A Celebration of Corki’s life will be announced at a later date.  In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in her name to BARC or Dog People of Livingston Parish.
