Eileen Corrigan Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 27, 2013.
Mrs. Eileen M. Corrigan died on August 25, 2013, at her home of 59 years.
Eileen was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence F. Mosher of Hillsdale, Michigan. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Frank Edward Corrigan, Sr., infant granddaughter, Claire Marie Corrigan and brother, Samuel A. Mosher.
Her life exemplified her values: love for her family, faith, hard work, perseverance, wit, determination and tenacity. She always carried herself with uncompromising grace and elegance.
Eileen left Michigan as a young teenager and made her home with her uncle and aunt, Dr. and Mrs. Lawrence A. Mosher in Roswell, Ga. She immediately attended St. Agnes Junior College for girls in Baltimore, Md. and later joined the U.S. Cadet Nurse Corp at St. Joseph's Infirmary School of Nursing in Atlanta.
At the age of 39, the death of her beloved husband thrust the responsibility of caring for their five children onto her young shoulders. She provided for her children by working as a private duty nurse at Piedmont Hospital, and later as the Director of Nursing at Kingsford Inn. For years, Eileen was an active member of the St. Joseph's Hospital Women's Auxiliary, the St. Gerard's Circle and the Legacy Ladies of Brookwood Hills.
In 1974 she founded the company named Professional Registry for the Northside, Inc. (PRN) a nurses' registry and staffing company with her friend and business associate Martha Blackwell. PRN has provided personalized nursing care to Atlantans for 40 years.
The nurses of PRN dedicated loving and compassionate care to Eileen during these final months. The family will be forever grateful to: Arnetta McMichael Climpson, Gladys Hester, Margaret Mitchell, Anita Stinson, Roberta Strout, Debbie Brown, Jewel Coleman and Joyce Sligh.

Eileen leaves behind her sister Mrs. Marie Mosher Taylor (Richmond, Va.) sons; Frank E. Corrigan, Jr. (Laura), Dr. Victor E. Corrigan, II (Marie ), Kevin L. Corrigan (Delia) of Columbia, S. C., daughters; Eileen C. Jones (Tom) and Camilla C. Comerford (Jim), grandchildren; Dr. Frank Corrigan, III (Alden), McLean Corrigan, Lollie Corrigan, Tom Jones (Elizabeth) of Louisville, Ky., Matt Jones, Colleen Jones, Caroline Corrigan, Louise Corrigan, Mellie Corrigan, Victor Corrigan , Jimmy Comerford, Joey Comerford, Margeaux Comerford, Charlie Corrigan, Sam Corrigan, Edward Corrigan , great granddaughters; Jane Jones and Anne Jones.
A funeral mass will be celebrated at the Cathedral of Christ the King at 10 O'clock on Thursday, August 29th with a reception in Kenny Hall following. Interment to follow at Westview Cemetery. A visitation will be Wednesday, August 28th from 6 until 8 O'clock with a rosary at 7:30 at H. M. Patterson and Son, Spring Hill. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions honoring Eileen as an active parishioner for seven decades may be made to the Cathedral of Christ the King, 2699 Peachtree Road, Atlanta, GA 30305.

Frank, Eileen, Vic, Camilla and Kevin - your mom has made my parents' last years so much more bearable and independent, and I can never thank her enough for her tact and graceful handling of many a situation. I always admired your mom for her business initiative in a time when women's lib and women's rights were just starting - back then it was hard for a woman to even get a credit card in her own name, without husband's approval and such! What an environment to be a woman entrepreneur - but your mom did it, and kept the house on Woodcrest, everyone in good schools, you name it - such an amazing woman. She touched so very many lives in such positive, nurturing way, what a difference she made in our world. She will be missed.

On behalf of the Nickerson family,
