Corinne Rose Forte, age 87, of Wayne passed away peacefully in the presence of and while receiving the loving care of her family.
Corinne was born and raised in Bronx, NY. She was one of four children and the oldest of three daughters to John and Carmela De Fabrizio. Corinne graduated from Evander Childs High School in the Bronx with the class of 1949. Immediately following her high school graduation she went to work as a buyer for B. Altman Clothing Company in Manhattan. She worked there for about five years. During that time, Corinne moved to Yonkers with her family. She was married in 1955 and cherished the birth of her only child Ann. Unfortunately, soon after her daughter was born, Corinne found herself as a single parent. She then was offered a position as a bookkeeper at The Travelers Insurance Company in Yonkers. She worked at Travel Insurance Co. for twenty-nine years until her retirement in 1992. She also concurrently worked for the Bronxville Movie Theater for many years as well to help support her family.
Subsequent to her daughter growing up, Corinne proceeded to care for her mom who also still lived in Yonkers at the time. After Corinne’s mom passed away, she moved to New Jersey in 2003 and eventually settled in Wayne to be closer to her grandchildren whom she also cherished greatly. Corinne was a parishioner of Holy Angels Church in Little Falls for many years. When her health made it unable for her to attend mass, she would watch daily masses on television and remained devoted to her Catholic Faith for her entire life. Corinne was an avid reader and was especially a fan of Romance Novels. One of her favorite programs on television was House Hunters. Corinne was a wonderful cook and was famous in her family particularly for her chicken cutlets. Her family remembers her as being feisty, stubborn, generous and wise. Aside from all of Corinne’s interests and talents, her family always remained her greatest passion. She was fiercely protective of them and nothing in the world meant more to Corinne than providing, and spending time with her family. Corinne was an extraordinary person who touched the lives of many people, she will be sincerely missed by everyone that knew her.
Corinne is survived by her daughter Ann Forte and her fiancé Philip Mirante of Wayne, two grandchildren; Michael Giordano of Columbus, OH and Nicholas Giordano of Wayne, two sisters; Phyllis Entner of Mahopac, NY and Melinda Munro of Blooming Grove, NY and many nieces, nephews, grandnieces, and grandnephews. She was predeceased by her brother Edward De Fabrizio in 2007.
Those planning an expression of sympathy in Corinne’s name are asked to consider St Jude’s Research Hospital, Memorial Processing, 501 St Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105-9959.
