Obituary - Marie J. Corcoran

Marie J. Corcoran, 85, passed away due to natural causes April 11, 2019.

She was born in Butte, MT, in 1933 to Joseph and Helen Perusich.

In 1954, Marie met Bert Corcoran, and, in 1955, they married. They had six children, Roberta (Sam) Schmidt, Mike Corcoran, Scott (Betty) Corcoran, Matt (Mary) Corcoran, Jackie Corcoran, Kevin (Missy) Corcoran. In 1962, they moved to Havre, MT, where she resided until her death. Marie loved her job as a switchboard operator. She was known for being able to track down anyone, anywhere. She would never still for long, as she enjoyed traveling, especially Ireland, Germany and Hawaii.

She also never let a friend or family member go hungry. Marie was always bringing in goodies for the St. Anthony's Catholic Church in Box Elder, MT. She enjoyed doing crosswords, puzzling, movie watching, atomic fireballs, lunches with the girls and talks with her grandchildren, Matt Corcoran, Tia (Zeb) Walls, Jared (Gris) Brodeur, Destin Cole, Mara Corcoran, Dakota (Bronc) LaDue, Hunter Corcoran, Madison Corcoran and Abby Corcoran, as well as five great-grandchildren.

Marie was known for her honest, straightforward personality. Her witty comebacks were much appreciated, as she kept her sense of humor despite losing two children too soon. She persevered on and lived life her way. Although G-Ma wasn't tech savvy, her grandchildren loved her more - even though she made them choose between the wooden and plastic spoon! Her memory lives on in her family and friends. She will be missed dearly and loved always.

She was proceeded in death by her husband, five siblings, one daughter, one son and one grandson.

Memorials can be made to St. Anthony's Catholic Church in Box Elder, MT. 

Holland and Bonine Funeral Home has been entrusted with arrangements.
