Obituary
Maryann was born, raised, and married in Chicago, Illinois. She lived on their farm in Dry Ridge, Kentucky for 26 years where she got to have her horses and retired in Edgewater, Florida from DHL Air Freight in 2015.
Mar passed on and became a being of light on October 24, 2024 after making brave and strong decisions on how she was going to deal with cancer and with passing on – her way!
Maryann, or Mar as she liked to be called, is survived by her husband of 39 years, Ted, and her older brother, Dan Corey of Chicago.
She was preceded in death by her parents, William Corey and Anna Rudowicz of Chicago, and younger brother, John Corey of California.
Mar was known for her love of animals, especially dogs and horses. Volunteering and making lunches for the Florida Pointer Rescue Adoption events was one of her favorite things!
Mar’s “way” will be deeply missed by me, her husband; our dogs – I mean her dogs!; her brother, Danny and all of our dear friends, neighbors, and associates.
Per her wishes, there will be no services. A Celebration of Life is being planned for a future date.
Mar has asked to please make a (generous) donation in her name to:
Florida Pointer Rescue
975 Lake Ashby Road, New Smyrna Beach, Florida 32168
Checks and gift cards can be mailed to the address above or online donations can be made by clicking the link below.
In 12 years, over 4000+ dogs have been placed in forever homes.
May God bless you, one and all.

Maryann was such a wonderful person! She was so kind to me during our short few years together at DHL. She always had great stories to tell and we loved to share recipes/food with each other. I remember how much she loved her dogs. Together with you, they completed the family. I was so happy for you both when you were able to make the move to Florida, her dream she spoke of often.
I wish you best knowing you will miss her so and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

So very sorry to hear about Maryann! She was one of my favorite teammates at DHL. Heard so many great stories of you 2 and know how important you 2 and all of those doggos were to one another.
You gave me a great family dog that she rescued down in Dry Ridge. She shared pics of this guy skinny little mutt that liked to jump over fences. He turned out to be with our family until I got home from my kidney transplant 2 years ago.
Wishing nothing but great memories and comfort to you and the pups.
Rest in peace, Mar!
I woke up this morning and and for some reason I looked her up on Facebook just to find out she had passed.
Lisa and I have lived in Cape Coral, Fl for 3 years. We said many times we should try and find you guys and try to get together. I’m so so sorry we never got the chance to do that.
Maybe we can get together for lunch or dinner sometime?
I know how much you two cared about one another.
We are so sorry for your loss Ted.
God Bless You!!!
