What a remarkable woman. She can raise four boys, go back to college, motivate generations of children, protest injustice, offer endless time to family AND STILL always wear lipstick? At the same time? To have such an inspiration as my grandmother provides boundless motivation, determination, and drive to become something bigger than myself. Her life didn't make ripples, it made waves. I couldn't be prouder that she was my Grandma. Onward she goes.

Corinne was my brothers wifes grandma. I was blessed to enjoy her company on many occasions, and she always had opens arms to me and my kids as well. I was even privileged in being gifted a pair of party pants from her, as she called them, which bring so many fun memories. She will be missed by so many!

I remember her well. The very definition of a life well lived.

Mrs. Carey was my 5th grade teacher in 1972/1973. Absolutely the best teacher I ever had. She took a genuine interest in her students.

I student taught under Corinne Carey at Coit and seeing her name put a smile on my face. She was such an inspiration and motivator. She made a major impact on many lives. Her legacy lives on.

I always remembered her from Coit school. I attended there in the70s. Teachers at Coit were really special and cared a lot about their students. Sorry for your lost.
