Corliss E. (Corky) Frisch, 61, of Northampton, passed away Sunday, May 29, 2016 at Lehigh Valley Hospital after a three year struggle with breast cancer. Corky was the wife of Stephen M. Frisch and they would have celebrated their 41st wedding anniversary on June 28. Born April 23, 1955 in Northampton, she was the daughter of the late Harold and Marie (Holian) Griesemer. Corky was a 1973 graduate of Northampton High School. She was a member of Queenship of Mary Church. Corky was employed by Cutler Hammer, Gilboy Ford and the Cement National Bank of Fullerton, but she did not find her professional niche until she began to work at PP&L. Corky took great pride in her accomplishments at PP&L as she moved up the managerial ladder. She retired in March as a financial specialist after 36 years of employment. Her main goal in life was devotion to family and friends who will miss her dearly. Survivors: her husband, Stephen, sons, Stephen Michael Frisch III and John Michael Frisch, both of Northampton; sisters, Dianne, wife of Richard Missmer of Whitehall and Jeanette, wife of Alfred Hammel of Glens Falls, NY; sister-in-law, Lucille, wife of Greg Sommers of Allen Township; many nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews and canine companion, Zoe. Services: A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Thursday, June 2nd at 11:00 a.m. in Queenship of Mary Church, 1324 Newport Ave., Northampton. Family and friends may call Wednesday 6 - 8:00 p.m. and Thursday 9:15 -10:15 a.m. in the Reichel Funeral Home, 326 E. 21st St., Northampton. Burial will follow in the Our Lady of Hungary Cemetery.

My deepest condolences to the Frisch family. I knew Corky from work at PPL for many years and just loved her sparkling smile and matching personality. Even when she was sick, she still smiled through it. She always talked about her family and how much they meant to her. Corky you will be sorely missed by everyone whose life you touched. May you rest in peace and be forever without pain.

To the Frisch family I send my sincere condolences on your loss. What a wonderful person Corliss was. Her kindness touched everyone around her. Coming from a fellow PPL employee, I can tell you that she was highly respected and very well liked throughout the company. As our retired CFO remarked when I told him of Corliss' passing, "we should have had more PPLers like her."

God bless you Corky...you will be sorely missed.

Corliss was such a kind and gentle woman. I had the pleasure of working with her at PPL for many years. We shared many conversations about our kids and families. She has gone on to meet our heavenly father way too soon. To her family: cherish all the memories you have made and hold them close to your heart. She will forever be with you. God be with you all!

Charlie grew up across the street from Corky and her family and later would often mention seeing her and talking with her at PPL.

Corky was always that person who could make you smile. She will be missed.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to her whole family.

Corky and I had our first babies together and realized our husbands knew each other. Whenever we bumped into each other over the years we talked like long time friends. Corky was a sweet person and I am so sad to hear of her passing. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
