Constance Lea "Connie" Corrigan, 70, of rural Mendon, died at 1:36 p.m. Sunday (June 5, 2011) in her home.
Connie was born Nov. 5, 1940, in Quincy, a daughter of Richard and Doris Adair Cornwell of rural Ursa. She married to Ray Corrigan on May 27, 1958, in Corinth, Miss. He survives.
She was a 1958 graduate of Unity High School in Mendon, where she was a cheerleader and homecoming queen her senior year. Her faith in Jesus was unwavering, having been an active member of Loraine Christian Church where she served for more than 50 years.
Throughout her life, Connie was many things to many people: loving daughter, cherished wife, hard-working farmer, caring mother, unfailing friend and doting grandmother and great-grandmother. Her greatest role, however, was to be a true child of God. Her kindness and charity touched the lives of all who knew her, and many who didn't.
