Not sure what to say?

I remember Corliss very well ; what I most remember is her kindness and calm mannerisms. I didn´t work in the same department but I often needed her guidance in the Controller´s Office . She was so helpful and knowledgeable. We later again crossed paths in the grant world working to support faculty in dual departments . I was very lucky to have gotten to know her. I am saddened to hear this news. Christine Langlois

Oh, when I saw the name, Corliss Elizabeth, and then saw her picture, I remember that I enjoyed those times when our paths crossed. I wish I had a better memory, as many years have gone by since I worked at University Relations and Development as a receptionist. My final years working at UMASS was as Department Secretary in the Fine Arts Center Theater Department. Deepest Sympathy to all her family and friends. Denise Lessard Wagner

Corliss was a kind and extremely helpful member of the UMass College of Natural Sciences community. She helped many faculty to submit grant proposals and obtain funding for their research. We missed her when she retired a few years ago and are sorry to hear of her passing. Condolences to the family.

Corliss was great to work with! UMass was well served by her hours and years of diligence

I was very saddened to learn of the loss of Corliss Elizabeth. She was such a wonderful person to work with in the grants office at UMass. I relied on her expertise and incredible patience when working through all the bureaucracy of submitting a federal grant. Please know how much she was appreciated.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you here at Greenleaves. Rest in peace.
