(Sep 30, 2006)HUNTINGTON HERALD DISPATCH
ELIZABETH "BETTY" BAKER WOLF CORMAN passed away on September 27, 2006, after an extended illness, at the Cleveland Clinic. She was born in Cleveland, Ohio on February 25, 1917, the daughter of immigrants Charles and Fannie Baker, proprietors of Baker's Dry Goods. Betty had a passion for life and was loved by all who knew her. She was a wonderful role model for her children and grandchildren and always emphasized the importance of family, friends, and living life to its fullest. While realistically viewing the world around her, Betty was an eternal optimist, and regularly shared her enthusiasm for life with those around her. Betty was an incredibly compassionate and accepting person who strived throughout her life to contribute to the world around her. She was a dynamic force in the Jewish Community, and was recognized as a "Woman of Valor" at Temple Israel of Brevard (in Florida). She was active in the temple sisterhoods of Ohev Shalom congregation in Huntington, W.Va., and at Temple Israel, as well. After Glenville High School, Betty graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Flora Stone Mather College of Western Reserve University in Cleveland and also received her Master's Degree and Doctorate in Psychology there. Known professionally as Dr. Elizabeth Wolf, she was instrumental in the establishment of the licensure of psychologists in the state of Ohio. Moreover, she was a Fellow of the American Psychological Association and a Diplomate of the American Board of Professional Psychology. She was an outstanding teacher and clinician, served as a selection officer for the Peace Corps, and was Director of one of the first clinical training programs at Western Reserve University, a joint program with the Department of Veteran's Affairs. Dr. Wolf was Professor of Psychology and Director of Psychological Services at Marshall University in Huntington, W.Va., and served as president of the West Virginia Psychological Association. She played a key role in the development of the community mental health center in Huntington, W.Va. She was Professor and Director of Clinical Training at Florida Institute of Technology. At her retirement, she became Professor Emeritus. Betty attended the Cleveland Institute of Art in her youth and resumed her interest in oil painting in her later years. She was an avid Scrabble player and regularly played with distinction. Betty was preceded in death by her first husband, Arien Samuel Wolf, and her daughter, Winifred Wendy Wolf. She is survived by her husband, Dr. Charles Corman, with residences in Melbourne, Fla., and Alpine Lake, W.Va., and her two sisters-in-law, Eleanor Herrick and Muriel Rivchun. Betty has three children, Christina Wolf Dobbs, Dr. Douglas Charles Wolf, and Dr. Eve Monica Wolf. She has seven grandchildren, Wendy Dobbs Jacobs, Jeffrey Arien Wolf, Michael Henry Larin Wolf, Russell Gordon Cameron Wolf, Jessica Mary Lucile Wolf, Arien Jacob Wolf-Knight, Sarah Elizabeth Wolf-Knight, and two stepchildren, C. Kevin Corman and Steven M. Corman. Graveside services will be 11 a.m. Sunday, October 1, 2006, at Spring Hill Cemetery by Rabbi David E. Wucher. Klingel Carpenter Mortuary is in charge of arrangements. The family asks that, in lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the scholarship fund in her name at the Florida Institute of Technology or the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America (www.ccfa.org).
