Annette Corrigan Obituary

Corrigan, Annette G. (nee Angone). Born on Halloween in 1950, she passed away peacefully Monday, December 19th, 2011 surrounded by family. She was the beloved mother of Eileen (Chris) Conneely and James (Doreen) Corrigan. Adored grandmother of Emily, Ellie and Matthew; beloved sister and best friend to Marlene Haffner and Brother Robert Angone. She was cousins to many and loved her in-laws greatly. Annette was admired, respected and deeply loved by all who knew her. She was always referred to as a "Class Act." She enjoyed her long chats with her children and spending time with family and friends. Grandma's greatest prizes were her grandchildren and she loved nothing more than getting on the ground and playing with them. She will always be remembered for her contagious laugh, which you couldn't help but laugh with her. For her long courageous fight with lung cancer; we couldn't be more proud!

Eileen and Jim, I am so so sorry to hear about your mom. I just saw her a few months ago. She spoke so highly of both of you. Her face lit up when she told me about her grandchildren. Both of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. God bless your treasure! I'm sure my dad has already greeted her up there! :)
