BARRE- Corinne Elizabeth Smith, 94, of Phelps Road, passed away on July 8, 2016 at the Rowan Court Health and Rehabilitation Center in Barre, with her beloved husband of 53 years by her side.
Born in Barre, Vermont on August 9, 1921, she was the daughter of Warren and Williamina (McAllen) Cole. She attended local schools and was a graduate of the Plainfield High School class of 1939.
Corinne married her first husband, Rizieri “Jack” Lamberti in 1939, they had two sons, Peter and Carlo “Butch”. Jack passed away in 1953.
In 1963, she married Charles Smith and they made their home “on the hill” in Barre for the past 53 years.
To know Corinne meant you knew she gave the best hugs and could knit, crochet and/or mend ANYTHING. You would also know that her family was her pride and joy, whether you were blood or married into her family. She was especially proud that she was able to provide childcare for all of her grandsons and her great-grandchildren as well.
Corinne was also an active member of The Cobble Hill Grange for over 50 years.
All of us that were fortunate enough to love and be loved by this great woman and we already sorely miss our matriarch.
Corinne leaves behind; her husband, Charlie, of 53 years; Son, Peter (Dorothy) Lamberti and Daughter in-law, Linda (Carlo) Lamberti of Barre; Stepsons, Charles (Jean) Smith Jr. and Stephen Smith all of Arizona; Her grandsons; Peter “Jr”, Jack (Marie), Paul (Sheryl), Dean (Darlene), Scott (Maria), Steven (Jaylene) and Jason Lamberti. Her legacy will continue to live on in her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great grandson, as well as many friends and other family members too many to mention, but were very important to her nonetheless.
Her mother and father, brothers, Warren “Lesley” and Edwin “Spud” Cole, her son, Carlo “Butch” Lamberti and her stepsons, David and Frank Lamberti, predeceased Corinne.
We, her family cannot express enough of our gratitude for the genuine care she received while at Rowan Court from ALL of the staff. Our heartfelt thanks go to, to name a few; Tim, Trish, Cassie, Katelyn, Brooke and Courtney.
