Corby graduated from Wausau West High School in 1975, and later married Mike Erickson on May 17, 1980.
Corby worked at Fleet Farm until retiring and then did part time work at Bautch Chiropractic. Besides gardening, Corby had a love of crafting such as sewing, ceramics, quilting, and decorating. She loved being involved with her daughter in 4-H. Corby was a cat person and after building their first home she picked out her first "not a barn cat." As a true country girl, she always enjoyed country music.
