I just learned of Marie's passing. My sincere condolences to her family.
Marie was a lovely woman with whom I had the pleasure of having many conversations. She was a wealth of knowledge about Catholic Saint John.
I will miss not seeing her.

Ron and I had Marie as our Grade 6 teacher at St. Peters. It was a memorable year, to say the least. We were prepared for junior high, and thanks to Marie, we loved learning. It was only in later years that, through my mom, I learned of just how much Marie gave to the community of St. John, especially, the "north end". Marie was there for the marginalized. Her direct impact will be sorely missed! Rest in peace, Miss Corkery! We loved you!

My sincere condolences to the Corkery/Desmond Families. The very first time I had the pleasure of sitting and having a chat with Marie was many years ago. I was smitten. It had been a memory I often remembered over the years when I saw here.

Dear Corkery & Desmond Families,
Although I only knew Miss. Corkery by her relationship with the Desmond’s. I would see her at different church celebrations and she always had a friendly smile for me.
I enjoyed seeing her walk Beni as I drove by Douglas Ave, over the Reversing Falls Bridge, and most recently walking up Main Street from the Power Boat Club direction.
May God bless you all as you grieve her loss and give thanks for a long memory filled life.
Sincerely,
Mary Beth Cronin

My condolences to the Corkery family. Marie was a kind and gentle person. I have fond memories of her from when she taught at St. Peter's and more recently from Chapel Grove. Marie and I shared an interest in genealogy and she was very helpful and informative when I was researching my family tree. Rest in peace Marie!

My deepest sympathies to the families of Ms. Corkery ( I know she has told me several times that I can call her Marie but I just cant do it.) I have known her in many ways over the years but first and foremost as my grade two teacher. I still remember her classroom at Saint Peter's school in the basement of the school. She taught many of us the basics of reading, writing and math but She always taught us about our Faith. She not only taught it but she lived it in her everyday life. She always interacted with you in a peaceful manor, always leaving you feeling better about yourself and blessed. I worked with her in many different roles at Saint Peter's church and she always remembered to ask about my family including my two brothers that drove her crazy when she taught them. I will miss her and think of her fondly. Rest easy Ms Corkery you are now with God.

Marie was a real fine Irish lady. We first met when the Irish Canadian Cultural Association formed in the 1980’s. She was a joy to work with. Though I have only seen her now and again in recent years I will certainly miss her. My heartfelt condolences to Ann and Margaret. May she RIP.

My favourite teacher - period. Grade 6 at St. Pete's, old boys building. Then many, many years later met up with her at the Archdiocese Archives while researching my O'Neil/Gorman history. I felt she hadn't changed in 40 years. So friendly and helpful. We communicated for years after via email, she (and Mary) sending me whatever I needed. I liked her, hope she didn't suffer.
