Murder-Suicide Victim Was Mother Of 2, 'Wonderful Daughter'

BURLINGTON TOWNSHIP, NJ — Tianna Drummond was a mother of two, a wonderful daughter, mother, granddaughter, cousin, sister, friend, who touched the lives of those around her. She was tragically taken from this world at the age of 28, the victim of a murder-suicide at her apartment earlier this year.

Police say Drummond was beaten to death by her boyfriend, 30-year-old Kristopher Corry, in their apartment on Jan. 2. Corry, a youth football coach, then took his own life.

Corry and Drummond were in a relationship, according to the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office. They weren't married, but they both lived in the apartment in which they were found, authorities said. Read more here: Police Confirm South Jersey Couple’s Deaths A Murder-Suicide

“Tianna dedicated her life to her boys,” according to the Long Live Tianna GoFundMe page. “She was a sports mom and also an academic achiever. Tianna was in honor society, played field hockey and graduated from Full Sail University in 2016 with a BA in Entertainment Management. Tianna loved the beach, shopping, food, traveling and her family and friends.”

Drummond’s friends and family weren’t prepared for the high cost of a funeral service, so they launched an online fundraiser that had raised $6,305 as of Friday morning. They set a goal of raising $10,000 by Jan. 12.

“We are all devastated by Tianna’s loss, and we’re not prepared for the high cost of a funeral service,” Karena Chavis and Yolanda Coffey wrote in the post. “We want to give her the memorial she deserves, to honor her memory and say our last goodbyes.”
