Coreen Estrella “Bless” Moreno Sparks, 10, of Kingsford passed away Monday, April 13, 2020, at the Children’s Hospital in Milwaukee. Coreen was one of two children of Brent Sparks and Marcela Moreno. Coreen loved reading, writing, drawing, going for walks and bike rides, playing Xbox with her little brother, and talking with her many friends.

Coreen was an active member of Girl Scouts and was the honorary “Big Sister” of her brother Lucas’ Cub Scout pack. In her ten short years she lived an exciting life with her parents and brother in the Philippines, China, and the United States.
