Posted By RichC on February 2, 2016
It has been a challenging few years for the “greatest generation” in my family as age and death is catching up with us. My brother Ron called this past weekend to let me know that my Aunt Fran (my dad’s brother’s wife) passed away on Saturday. My sympathy goes out to my cousins and my Uncle Sonny. May the “peace of God, which transcends all understanding, guard your heart” and ease the pain until you are united again.
Francine M. Corbett, 82, of Hudson, Michigan passed on unexpectedly to be with her savior on January 30, 2016. She was born on October 10, 1933, in Toledo, Ohio the daughter of Paul and Zoe (McClure) Sharrock. She married the love of her life, Earl Corbett, on December 8, 1952, in Toledo, Ohio.
