Carin Renee Corcoran

Carin Renee (Letourneau) Corcoran, age 48 of West Greenwich, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, December 28, 2023.
She was the beloved wife of the late Christopher M. Corcoran for 19 years. Born in Warwick on November 22, 1975, Carin was the loving daughter of Raymond Vincent and Joyce Carin (Ricci) Letourneau of Exeter.
Carin was a dedicated and accomplished individual. She graduated from Exeter-West Greenwich High School in the Class of 1993 and went on to earn a Bachelor's Degree from Rhode Island College in 1997. While at Rhode Island College, Carin focused her studies on elementary and special education.
Carin's passion for education led her to a fulfilling career as a First Grade Teacher at Wawaloam School. She joined the school district in 1999 and has made a positive impact on the lives of her students ever since. In addition to her role at the Wawaloam School, Carin also worked for GEMS-Net at the University of Rhode Island, further demonstrating her commitment to the State of Rhode Island's education system.
Outside of her professional life, Carin was actively involved in extracurricular activities. She served as the coach of the Exeter-West Greenwich Girls Junior High School Soccer Team, where she shared her love for the sport and helped young athletes develop their skills. Carin also enjoyed tutoring, using her knowledge and expertise to support students in their academic pursuits. Carin's dedication to education, her students, and her community made her a beloved and respected individual. She will be remembered for her passion, commitment, and the positive impact she made on the lives of all those around her.
She enjoyed escape rooms with friends, and was a co-owner of Friends with Fairy Dust with her friend Lisa. Her family was of utmost importance to her. She loved spending time with her nieces and nephew. Family vacations brought her immense joy; from trips to Mystic, Santa's Village, Disney World, and most recently, Disneyland. She was happiest when surrounded by the magic that you feel when you walk through the gates. Her upbeat and positive personality brought joy to not only herself but to all who knew her. She believed "Enjoy the little things in life for one day you'll look back and realize they were the big things."
In addition to her parents, Carin was the caring sister of Christopher R. Letourneau (wife, Erin) of West Greenwich and Caitlin R. (Letourneau) Blake (husband, Brian) of Exeter; beloved aunt of Hunter D. Lockwood-Letourneau, Bridget M. Blake, Emma K. Letourneau, Callie R. Letourneau, and Colette R. Blake; and loving companion of Thomas Quackenbush Jr. She also leaves behind her four-legged friends, Penny, Jack, Bruce, Clark, and Sammie.
In fitting with Carin's love of living for the moment and the magic of Disney, please wear something Disney, purple, or bright colored.
