Ms. Corbett, 91, of Ludlow, died Saturday at Florence Park Care Center.

She taught third grade for several years in the 1930s, her brother said. "She enjoyed teaching, but it didn't pay much in those days, so she had to find something else, " he said.
She grew up as the only girl with six brothers, so she became quite a sports fan. "She loved baseball and football but always thought they didn't have to tackle that hard in football, " Corbett recalled with a laugh.
Ms. Corbett enjoyed a good laugh and was very sociable. She was low-key, but didn't mind speaking her mind when it came to issues such as abortion. In fact, she volunteered for a time for a Right to Life group.
"She believed in the straight and narrow, " her brother said.
