For Bronwyn & Carrington – Honoring Cory Smith’s Legacy

Friends & Family –

On March 14, 2025, our beloved Coralea “Cory” Phipps Smith stepped into glory after a courageous three-year battle with cancer. A devoted wife to Chris and loving mother to Bronwyn and Carrington, Stepmom to Morgan - Cory lived a life of worship, beauty, and excellence. Through her dance studio and ministry, she touched the lives of countless young artists and families in the Wilmington community and beyond.

Celebration of life is planned for April 13, 2025 at 1:30 at the Wilson Center. In lieu of flowers, this GoFundMe has been created to honor Cory’s deepest desire: to care for her daughters’ future.

All donations will go directly toward Bronwyn and Carrington’s higher education funds - a way to continue the legacy of excellence, creativity, and faith that Cory poured into every part of her life.

If you were touched by Cory’s love, her faith, her artistry, or her friendship, we invite you to be part of this offering. Every gift, no matter the size, is a tribute to the love she gave so freely.

Thank you for helping carry her legacy forward.
