I am deeply saddened to hear of my dear friend and Delta Zeta Sorority Sister, Marcia Kells Corn’s passing. We met when we were freshman at UK and graduated together. Several years later, I was blessed to work with Marcia at The Wheeler School in Louisville, KY. She was a wonderfully skilled and creative educator. Her library was a model for others. Marcia had a great sense of humor. She was loyal and easy to love being a woman of considerable substance. Deepest sympathy to her children, her relatives, including Don Corn and her friends.
I’m sorry for your loss. My prayers for your family. God bless
I was so saddened to hear of Marcia’s passing and the loss of a long time friend and what I consider part of my family. I have known both Marcia and Don since the early 1960’s and I will miss her very much. My condolences to her sons , Chris and Jeff, and their families. She suffered with pain her last few years of her life but is now in God’s hand. Jimmy Walker
