Elaine CORLEY Obituary
Of Dayton, Ohio, passed away in her home, on November 24, 2020. She was born in Flint, Michigan, on January 1, 1937. Preceded in death by her
parents Ernest and Willa Mae Dorsey, brothers Eddie Dorsey, Paul Dorsey and her son Phillip E. Corley. She leaves to cherish her loving memories, daughters Portia R. Corley, Lovelle A. Corley and son Ernist (Corley) Muhammad, her two very special Granddaughters – Loren Guerrant (Rashad) and Jayla Corley; sister Portia Bogan,
special sister-in-law Gladys Dorsey and a host of nieces,
nephews and cousins. She was a faithful member of Tabernacle Baptist church. Ms. Elaine (as so many knew her) was known for her big smile and contagious laugh and she always had very witty comebacks to remarks made to her in conversation. There will be a memorial celebration planned for future date. Arrangements entrusted to THOMAS FUNERAL HOME, 4520 Salem Ave. Online condolences may be sent to the family at www.thomasfunerals.com.

To the Corley Family, Blessings and Peace be with you. Remembering the times spent with the family at church. And those times on the way to Westwood she would tell us to behave.
