Marlyn Corrado Obituary
Marlyn Marie (Meier) Corrado was born in Mineola, New York on March 13, 1939, to Joseph A. Meier and Vera Sauer Meier. She grew up in the Oakdale/Sayville area of Long Island and graduated from Sayville High School in 1957. (note: Sayville alumni records and photo are 1956).

She attended Cedar Crest College in Allentown, Pennsylvania and worked in New York City prior to marrying Gerard E. (Jerry) Corrado in 1958. They settled in Sayville, New York, where she worked as a medical office manager for several decades while raising three sons, Jay, Gary, and Dan Corrado.

After Jerry’s death in 1998, she moved to Calabash, North Carolina to be closer to friends and family. She enjoyed the beach, traveling, painting, golf, and tennis. Above all, she loved spending time entertaining, often cooking Italian favorites and baking pies, cakes, cookies, and other treats.

She spent winters in Hutchinson Island, Florida, where many Sayville friends had relocated.

She is fondly remembered for her kindness, laughter, sense of style, and being the sweetest, most social person in the room. She is survived by her sons and their spouses, Jay and Jane Corrado, Gary and Mylinh Corrado, and Dan Corrado and Joe Lazo; her brother, Jim Meier and his wife, Angela Meier; and her grandchildren Michael, Amanda, Lena, and Mia. She is also survived by her niece Jennifer Schultz, her husband, Dan Schultz, and their daughter, Sophia. She was preceded in death by her grand-nephew, Matthew. She is also survived by her niece Laura Glennon, her husband Paul Glennon, and their children Shane, Connor, and Cailey, as well as her niece Celeste Gedney, and her husband, Kenny Gedney. A celebration of life will be held at a future date.

Donaldson Funeral Home & Crematory is honored to serve the Corrado family.
