Mar-c Corbett

Corbett

Mar-c Corbett, 92, of Foxburg, entered into Eternal Rest with her Lord and Savior early Thursday afternoon, Feb. 9, 2023, of natural causes at her residence.

Born in Mosgrove, Pa., Armstrong County, on June 17, 1930, she was the daughter of the late Alf and Eva Marie Duncan Slagle.

She was a 1948 graduate of Parker High School.

Mar-c was married to the late Orval Corbett, who preceded her in death on June 18, 2006. Mar-c and Orval were married on Dec. 25, 1948, and enjoyed 58 years together raising a family and sharing their kindness with those around them.

She was very family oriented and enjoyed having everyone over for dinner and her delicious baked goods and pies with her “amazing crust.” No one ever left her house hungry. She also enjoyed playing games and cards with family and friends. She especially enjoyed playing bridge with her friends and online. Mar-c also was an avid Steeler fan and never missed cheering on her favorite team.

Mar-c was the best mother and grandmother and was always there when her family needed her. She treasured her family. She was the most generous, caring, selfless person who placed everyone’s needs above her own. She was one of a kind. Mar-c will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. She was loved by so many and will be forever in our hearts.

In her earlier years, she enjoyed working and creating floral designs at the former Dean’s Flower Shop in Parker and later became a licensed real estate agent with the Smathers Agency of Clarion. She will be long remembered as the manager and club house steward at Foxburg Country Club and was greatly appreciated by both golfers and board members alike.

She found much love and spiritual guidance in her attendance at Park Hill Church of God in West Freedom, where she enjoyed the company of great fellowship.

Surviving are two daughters, Coleen Michael of East Brady and Cindy Rapp (Jim) of Parker; one granddaughter, Kelly (Matt) Roofner of Butler, one grandson, Mitchell Emery of Foxburg, Pa., and Blake Smith of Fairview (Petrolia); and numerous nieces and nephews.

In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by three brothers, John, Charles and Gerald “Sam” Slagle.
