It is with heavy hearts and deep sadness that we announce the passing, at St. Clare’s Hospital, of a beloved husband, stepfather, brother, uncle and friend – Raymond M. Corbett of St. John’s. Ray spent decades working at the Waterford Hospital where he cared for some of the province’s most vulnerable people. An avid reader of Newfoundland books, he will be remembered for his quiet demeanor and dry wit. He is predeceased by his parents Ronald and Madeline Corbett. Ray leaves behind the love of his life Joyce, his stepchildren Reginald and Beau (Leigh) and his five grandchildren (Cole, Donté, Braeden, Myaleigh and Kneico). He will also be sadly missed by his siblings Eleanor McGrath (John), Ron Corbett (Jo-Anne), John Corbett (Bonnie), Derm Corbett (Bonnie), Charlotte Ryan (Ed Whelan) and Danette Dooley (Tom) and many nephews, nieces, family and friends, including special goddaughter, Kerri.
