DR. MICHAEL ANTHONY CORRADO

July 14, 1927 - March 14, 2022 (Age 94)

Dr. Michael A. Corrado of Rehoboth Beach, DE, St. Croix, VI, and longtime resident of Sterling, VA, slipped away to be with the Lord on March 14. 2022 peacefully at his home in Rehoboth Beach, DE. He was born on July 14, 1927 in Cleveland, OH to Giovanni Corrado and Gaetana (Pasquale) Corrado. He graduated from Eastern High School in Washington, DC as president of his class in 1945. After graduating from George Washington University, Michael served four years in the Navy and then graduated from George Washington University Medical School. He completed his medical internship at Boston City Hospital and his residency at University of South Carolina School of Medicine. Dr. Corrado was most known in Northern Virginia as a respected, talented and beloved cardiologist. He founded his private practice in Seven Corners in Northern VA where he served patients for more than 50 years. He was on the medical staff at Fairfax Hospital in Fairfax, VA and was also a consulting physician for multiple government agencies through the years. Dr. Corrado was a founding board member of the Loudoun Heritage Farm Museum in Sterling, VA, as well as a long standing board member of the Loudoun Preservation Society in Loudoun County, VA. Michael was a Member of the Knights of Columbus in Sterling, VA, the Briscola Club, the Aruzia Societies of Northern Virginia and the Ha'Penny Beach Club in St Croix, USVI. Michael enjoyed many eclectic interests which included raising quarter horses on his horse farm, antique carriage, sleigh and farm relic collecting, decoy carving, historic home restoration projects, and traveling the world. He was not only devoted to his family and his patients but was also a loyal friend to all who knew him. During the last chapter of his life, spending time with his grandsons provided him with a great deal of happiness and a source of pride and hope. He is survived by his wife of 61 years, Theda (Martz) Corrado, his daughter, Leslie Corrado Stillwagon (David) of Philadelphia, his son, Christopher Corrado, and loving grandsons, Holden Stillwagon, Porter Stillwagon, Ridgeway Stillwagon of Philadelphia and Michael Corrado.

I played on his farm and fished his pond as a small child. Although I was a trespasser he never bothered me. He was a great man and his son Chris was a good person too. I remember one quarter horse that was a dapple grey that would allow me to feed it apples. Dr. Corrado's farm was a special piece of old Virginia. Thank you Mr. Corrado.
