Carolyn Angell Corliss, born April 26, 1929, passed away Sunday evening at home Nov. 7, 2010. Her maiden name was Angell and the family’s threes sisters, at home in Walla Walla, Wash., enjoyed answering the phone with, “This is Heaven, with which Angell do you wish to speak?”

Carolyn graduated from Walla Walla High School in 1947, started college and then, a skiing enthusiast, went to work at Sun Valley, Idaho. She subsequently reentered Whitman College, graduated in 1952 and became engaged to Gregory Corliss, also graduating and heading to Quantico and Marine Corps duty.

Carolyn married Greg on Dec. 27, 1952 and moved to the Washington area. Their marriage produced three children, Gregory A. Corliss Jr., Catherine Ann Corliss and Mary Elizabeth Corliss. Carolyn is considered by the extended family a certified Saint in enjoying her life and love, children, grandchildren and a great grandchild, with successful families and careers. She was also a high school government teacher and was a major part of the social glue in frequently deploying Marine Corps organizations.

Since Greg retired from the Marine Corps in 1985, Carolyn has been active locally in supporting Trinity Shepherdstown, Shenandoah Garden Club, community affairs and some political activity.

Carolyn’s final days were under the Hospice of the Panhandle. This very professional assistance has been greatly appreciated by the family.
