Mrs. Corcoran was predeceased by her husband of 55 years, Eugene Corcoran, Sr., parents, Patrick and Nora (nee Keigher) Kelly and siblings, Betty Sweeney and John, Mike and Patrick Kelly.

She is survived by her loving children, Patrick Corcoran, Theresa O’Donnell (Jack), Mary Ellen Corcoran, Noreen Sullivan (Kevin), Eugene Corcoran, Jr. (Kathy) and Colleen Dougherty (Tom); cherished grandchildren, Patrick Corcoran, Jr., Thomas Corcoran (Sam), Kelly Huff (Jason), Erin Meier (Claude), Maura, Kyle and Ceara Bogue, Monica and Sean Sullivan, Christopher, Jack and Caroline Corcoran and Maggie, Brian, Owen and Marykate Dougherty; and adored great-grandchildren, Kieran Corcoran and Aiden Meier.
