Sarah came to Trepassey from St. Bernard’s, Fortune Bay and met the love of her life, Tom Corrigan. She was welcomed into Tom’s family and loved as their own. They built a life together and raised their large family at Powles Head lighthouse.
Mom was our Queen. Her family was her pride and joy. A beautiful woman with a strong faith. She enjoyed the simple things in life, a day berry picking, a good cup of tea and a game of bingo. She had a gentle and loving way that made all her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren feel so loved. She will be sadly missed by all.
The family would like to give thanks to mom’s caregivers over the years Edna, Angie, Jessica, Shirley and Lisa. Special thanks to her two daughters Jennifer and Tina for their unwavering support and care these past few years. Thank you as well to the staff of the Health Sciences Centre for their compassionate care over the past several weeks.
In keeping with Covid precautions, there will be no visitation and a private family service will take place in Trepassey. In lieu of flowers, donation may be made to a charity of ones choice or the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador.
“She will be remembered as a woman, both strong and true, who did her best for everyone – what more could a mother do.”
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Sarah Corrigan nee Hynes April 20 1905 April 16 2022..
