Patricia Caroline Corry
September 8, 1942 – May 7, 2021
Patricia Caroline Corry (Gottfried) passed away suddenly on Friday, May 7th, 2021. Patricia was predeceased by her parents, Martha and Albert Gottfried; sisters-in-law, Beatrice and Lynn; and her ex-husband, Peter Corry. Left to mourn are sons, Michael (Deborah) and Steven (Véronique) along with Patricia’s treasured grandchildren, Nicolas, Taylor, Vanessa, and Samantha.
Patricia leaves behind bothers Harvey (Gayla), Fred, and Leonard (Cindy).
Patricia will be sadly missed by her partner, Roger Campbell, with whom she shared many years of companionship, travel experiences, and countless games of bridge.
Born in Gimli, Manitoba and raised in nearby Camp Morton, Patricia’s life took her to many postings throughout Eastern Canada as well as Florida, but her heart always remained in Manitoba. Patricia enjoyed many activities throughout the years, including ceramics, quilting, sewing, walks, and playing bridge. Patrcia loved to listen to Elvis and bagpipes. Curling and the Toronto Blue Jays were always things that Patricia would enjoy watching. Throughout the years, Patricia enjoyed spending time at the cottage, camping, and various trips and cruises throughout the world.
In many eyes, Patricia made the best shortbread cookies and she always made sure that there were plenty of tasty treats to be shared. Nobody went hungry when they were visiting.
Anyone that knew Patricia, knows that she was not hesitant to give her opinion and was never too concerned about being politically correct – and that is OK. Nephews and nieces would often refer to Patricia as “Sergeant Auntie Pat” – and that is OK. Patricia was always tough, but fair, and had a soft spot for those less fortunate.
Patricia was active in the community and spent countless hours volunteering with The Probus Club of Brighton and the Rotary Club of Brighton.
Memories of Patricia as a daughter, a sister, a spouse, a sister-in-law, a mother, a mother-in-law, an aunt, a grandmother, or a friend are all important to hold on to – Although she was taken from us far too soon, we are all fortunate to have memories that we can share of Patricia.
In lieu of flowers or donations, Patricia’s family ask you to reach out to your loved ones and share memories of your own. A family gathering will take place at a later date.
“Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind
Memories, sweetened through the ages just like wine…”
