Lorraine Mercilliott Corbett left her earthly home on November 10, 2014 at the age of 84 after a long period of declining heath. Born January 26, 1930, she was the daughter of Joseph and Doris Mercilliott. She was predeceased in death by the love of her life for 30 years, husband, Jimmie W. Corbett Sr. in 1984. A loving mother, she was predeceased in death by her son, Richard Thomas Doudican Jr. and her daughter Susan Corbett Bennett. She is survived by children, Jimmie W.

Lorraine had a true passion for living life and was a strong believer in God and His Word. She was a baptized believer in the Church of Christ for over 50 years. In her younger days, Lorraine and Jimmie loved to dance and up until the last several years she could show you how they danced. A loving mother, sister, in-law, and grandmother, Lorraine leaves many cherished memories to those that survive her.
