October 19, 1952, was a blessed day when Cora Jean Guss was born to Eugene Guss and Bessie Mae Guss in Birmingham, Alabama. Cora was the oldest daughter of this union. Her parents left Birmingham and moved to San Diego, California, when she was four years old, and resided in San Diego during her childhood years and her entire adult life. When she was a child, she was given the endearment love name Bae Bae by her paternal grandfather, Thomas Guss Sr., and was named after her paternal grandmother Cora Guss. Cora was a loving and caring person, and one of her greatest attributes was loving her children and family. She was always the protector of her younger siblings.
Cora attended the San Diego Unified Schools from Brooklyn Elementary to San Diego High. She enjoyed singing and dressing to the “T” and dabbled a little in modeling. Cora was raised in the church and loved to sing in the church choir. She loved the “Lord” and accepted Christ at an early age.
Cora ended her earthly journey on October 27, 2022. She is reunited with her father, Eugen Guss Sr.; her mother, Bessie M. Guss; sister Bessie M. Roxanne Bernard; and son Andre. They all will meet again in her heavenly home.
Cora J. Guss will forever be in our hearts. She leaves to cherish her memories: her oldest son: Marvin Jones (Linda); two daughters: Corinthia Denay Jones and Rayshena Renee Robinson; grandchildren: Damion Holliday, Dariona Darnell, Jamari Marvin Jones, Isis Jade Jones, Nahla Jones, Travis Brock, Chris Brock, and Andrew Lopez; siblings: Booker T. Crenshaw Sr. (Sarah) San Diego, CA, Erma J. Sparrow (Fred) Spring Valley, CA, Brenda J. Gallagher (David) Port St. Lucie, FL, Phyllis M.
