Marian was born on July 15, 1929, in Detroit, Michigan to the late Leon Michalak and Stella Spejna. She was a graduate of Mackenzie High School, class of 1947, and a member of Our Savior Polish National Catholic Church. Marian married John Corgiat on February 20, 1960, in Detroit, MI. One of her first jobs was at the ticket window of the Stanley Theater in Detroit. In those days you could get dinner plates and silverware along with your movie ticket. She later worked in one of the many offices of The Detroit Institute of Technology. She also worked for Dr. Stillman DDS in Dearborn, MI for many years. She held various secretarial positions through the years. Her last job was with Duraline Systems in Romulus, MI, where she retired in 2006, at the age of 77.
Marian enjoyed tending to the flowers she had planted around her home. She had quite a “green thumb.” She also loved going to bingo and the casinos in the area, where she was often quite lucky. When she didn’t win, she would always say, “I’ll have to go back and visit my money.” She was also an avid reader.
Marian is survived by her daughter, Michele Lowe and her husband David; 3 grandchildren, Amber Crumbley and her husband Jason, Ali Lowe, Jaime Lowe; 2 great grandchildren, Ayden Crumbley and Ryley Crumbley.
Marian was preceded in death by her siblings, Edmund Michalak, Millie Poniatowski, Teddy Michalak, Rosalie Dutcher and Helen Anderson.
Besides her family, the one who will miss her the most is, her best friend Marge Kalota. Their lives couldn’t have been more different, but they remained friends for over 76 years.
Memorial donations may be made in Marian’s name to: Our Savior Polish National Catholic Church, 610 N. Beech Daly Rd, Dearborn, MI 48127 or the Alzheimer’s Association @ alz.org.
The family of Mrs. Corgiat entrusted her arrangements to Clymer Funeral Home & Cremations.
