Mary J. Corey

So sad to know that she won't be there to keep the flow of words in the way we've come to appreciate in the Sun paper. It'd be good to see the Sun will continue her proud advance for editorial standards by starting a springboard for young editorial candidates with promise.

To the Corey Family,

I went to Dulaney and then Notre Dame. I had several classes with Mary. She always had a smile on her face, and was such a loving, and kind soul. I am devastated learning of her passing, and am praying for all of you.

With deepest sympathies,

I am so sorry for your loss. Please find peace and comfort in knowing God cares for you and will help you in your time of need. 1 Pet. 5:7

So sorry to read about the loss of such a dear and sweet person,She is certainly in god's memory and our creator will never forget those who are resting in his memory.Waiting for the time when he will swallow up death forever(ISAIAH25:8). BUT UNTIL THEN MAY HE GRANT YOU PEACE AND A CALM HEART ,to cope with your loss.

Our family grew up next door to Mary and her family in Cockeysville. I"m so very sad and proud to hear of Mary's phenomenal accomplishments! I've been a nurse living in Chicago for 20+ years and the Corey family should be very proud to know that the Chicago Trib had a huge, wonderful article about Mary. I remember her as a child and young lady and what a sweetheart she was way back then. My condolences to the entire Corey family. I can't imagine losing a sibling, especially one as influential as Mary seems to have been to everyone she has touched. God bless. We all know she's in a good place.

My condolences and prayers go out to Mary's mother and sisters as well as her Baltimore Sun family. She brought warmth and heart to the newsroom amid the most trying times. We all will miss her.

With our deepest sympathy. You will be missed at Curves!

So very sorry to hear of Mary's passing. We were neighbors in Cockeysville from 1968-1978. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Corey family. Our deepest and heartfelt sympathy.

Mary was a super person to work with and very generous with her time and advice. Our thoughts and prayers are with her and her family.

I sat next to Mary in Miss Jackson's journalism class in 10th grade – and what I remember most is not the fact that she was a fantastic writer. I remember her compassion for Paul, a student with Cerebral Palsy who sat behind us. Paul was in a wheelchair, and could not speak. He used an alphabet board to communicate. Mary always went out of her way to include Paul, to make sure he was part of the class, and as much as possible part of a regular student experience. Mary became Paul's ambassador in the class – and looking back over the countless memories I have of our friendship, including sleep overs, her goofy laugh, dinners, Ocean City, Christmas gatherings, a trip to New York, her cool apartment in Baltimore with the scary elevator, what first came to mind was her servants heart and her ability to see beyond herself to the needs of those around her. She did this for me and my friends countless times. My heart is crushed that I lost touch with her these last several years. Kathleen, Mrs. Corey, and Margaret, and the rest of Mary's family, my prayer is that the Lord would comfort your hearts with His love, like only He can.
