ALICE B. CORCORAN
Alice B. Corcoran, secretary and housekeeper for St. Anthony’s Catholic Church in Novato since the church was built, died yesterday in a local hospital after a lengthy illness. She was 63.
She was born in Kansas but lived many yeas in Los Angeles before moving to Novato 10 years ago.
She has been president of the St. Anthony’s Altar Society since the group was organized in 1972. She formerly was a leader in Campfire Girls.
She is survived by her husband, Thomas Victor Corcoran of the home; three daughters, Paula and Florance (sic) Corcoran of the home and Loretta Bogue of Arcadia, Los Angeles County; a brother, Virgil Ellis in Michigan; two sisters, Rhea Lamphear of Washington and Dorothy Sturgeon of Sunnyvale, and three grandchildren.
A funeral Mass will be offered at 10 a.m. Wednesday in St. Anthony’s Church. Father Paul Caporali of Los Angeles, who baptized Mrs. Corcoran and who has been a lifelong friend, will deliver an eulogy.
The rosary will be recited at 8 p.m. Tuesday in Keaton’s Chapel of Marin, Novato.
