Corina Dockins

Corina Renee Dockins, 54, passed away Tuesday, January 6, 2026 at Mission Hospital.

Ms. Dockins was born in Asheville, NC to Linda Baker Dockins and the late Walter M. Dockins, Sr. In addition to her father, Corina was preceded in death by her grandparents, John and Edith Dockins and Leon and Dimple Baker and an Aunt Gail Dockins.

Corina was a hard worker and always gave her all to any project she started. She was an avid ginseng hunter. She worked at the Post Office, Coca Cola Bottling and Amazon. She loved her family with all her heart and her beloved dog, Charlie Brown. She was a daddy’s girl, loved the outdoors and liked to take long hikes in the woods in Pinners Cove where she spent most of her life.

Her sweet, fierce spirit will be missed-She told everyone she knew about her Lord Jesus Christ. She faced a lot of challenges but she trusted the Lord until the end.

She is survived by her husband, Christian “Tony” Hensley; her mother, Linda Baker Dockins; two sons, Cody Wayne Dockins and Charles “Curry” Dockins; three stepdaughters, Casey Hensley, Chloe Hensley and Kristin Hensley; two stepsons, Matt Acheson and Zachary Acheson; a grandson, Stedson Dockins and two brothers, Walter M. Dockins, Jr. and Travis P. Dockins.
