Nannie Catherine Gardner Corrieri, 92, left Kitty Askins Hospice Center for her heavenly home while surrounded by her loving family on Tuesday afternoon. Nan was born December 17, 1924 to the late Luther and Pearl McCandless Gardner.
Nan married the late William (Bill) J. Corrieri, Sr., the love of her life, on December 3, 1943. After their marriage, Bill and Nan were stationed all around the country before settling in Goldsboro after Bill’s retirement from the U.S. Army. Their love of God, family and country were evident to all who knew them.
Nan was a member of Stoney Creek Original Free Will Baptist Church. Nan was instrumental in the start of Second Baptist Daycare, later becoming known as Wayne Christian Daycare, working for over 30 years. After stepping down as the Director of the Daycare, she continued working at the Daycare until her retirement at the age of 85.
A service to celebrate the life of Mrs. Corrieri will be 7 PM Thursday, January 26, 2017 at Stoney Creek FWB Church with Rev. Barry Williamson officiating. The internment will be 12 noon Friday, January 27, at Evergreen Memorial Cemetery. The family will receive friends following the service in the church fellowship hall and at other times at the home of Bill and Joyce Corrieri.
Nan was a devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She is survived by her son, William (Bill) J. Corrieri, Jr. and wife, Joyce; daughters, Carol C. Wilson and friend, Bobby Fields, Connie C. Hill and husband, Keith, and Cathy C. Cooke; grandchildren Damon Ferebee, Derek Ferebee (Becky), Kevin Wilson (Sony), Lisa Wilson, Amanda H. Velie (James), Bradley Hill (Hannah), Jeffrey Cooke, Catherine Cooke, and special adopted granddaughter Christi Broadway; great-grandchildren Nathan Wilson, Ava Wilson, Conner Velie, Callen Velie, Braxton Hill, and Emma Grace Ferebee; sisters Sue G. Williams and husband, George, Linda Joyce Sasser and husband, Cordell; sister-in-law, Shirley Gardner. She is survived by many nieces and nephews, who so affectionately called her Nana. Nana was eagerly awaiting the arrival of another great-grandson, Nolan Hill.
In addition to her parents and husband, Nan was preceded in death by her brother Ray Gardner.
In lieu of flowers, the Corrieri Family asks that memorials be made in Nan’s memory to Kitty Askins Hospice Center, 107 Handley Park Court, Goldsboro, NC 27534.
The Corrieri Family would like to express their sincerest appreciation to the wonderful staff at Kitty Askins Hospice Center, who have taken incredible care of our precious Nana over the last several months.
