Jerome "Jerry" John Corlies

6/23/1945 – 9/20/2022

Once upon a time

With saddened heart I let you know of the passing of the love of my life, my husband, Jerry. We had forty years of marriage. I wished it could have been more but I am grateful for the years we had. He was my Knight in Shining Armor, My Hero!

Jerry is survived by his wife, Christine, and was a very nice Step-Dad to Christine’s son, Michael Lynn Scully. The best grandfather to Jessica Scully Martinez (Angel), Michelle Lynn Scully and their Mom, Angel Foss (Robert). Angel is the best daughter-in-law Christine could have ever have. She is Christine’s “Special Angel”.

Jerry is survived by brother Michael K. Corlies (Lewand) Durango, CO; brother Kenneth R. Corlies (Barbara) Stratford, Missouri; and a lot of nieces and nephews.

I want to thank Adult Care Home, Desert Dreams, that is owned by Jose and Susan Topete. Their place is very homey and a loving place to be cared for. I thank Brian Pearson, Hospice Nurse, who was very good with Jerry and his care.

I also want to thank the crew at Desert Dreams, Marisol, Gracella-Cinderella, Maria and Crystal for caring for my husband.

I am very grateful you are FREE now, my Love, fly with the Angels. The memories are with me always and we made many. Thanks for the gifts.

Mass will be held at Our Mother of Sorrows located at 1800 S. Kolb Rd., Tucson, AZ on Saturday, October 8, 2022 at 11:00 am and officiated by Monsignor Tom Cahalane. Reception will be held immediately following the Mass at El Molinito at 2323 N. Pantano Rd., Tucson, AZ. You are invited to come have some food and drinks so I can thank you for coming and to say hello and farewell to Jerry.

Love Begins with A Smile

Grows With a Kiss

And Ends with a Tear
