SOUTHBURY - Corinne Sophia Przedpelski, 86, formerly of Forest Hills, N.Y., passed away peacefully, surrounded by family on Sunday, February 14th at Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, NY.

The daughter of Walter H. Zingelmann, a German immigrant to the U.S., and Corinne Leatherbury of Mobile, Alabama, Corinne (Fifi) was born February 8, 1930, in Mobile, Alabama.

Corinne was an active member of her church communities in both Forest Hills, NY and Southbury, CT, serving in nearly every volunteer capacity imaginable. Also an avid gardener, Corinne's passion for flowers was evident throughout her work in the communities.
