Paulette Corrigan

Paulette D. Corrigan, 80, of Chicago and formerly of Hanover Park and Bartlett, passed away peacefully on January 20, 2025. Paulette was the daughter of the late Samuel and Dolores DiCrispino; beloved wife of the late D.J. Corrigan; loving mother of Sean Corrigan (Allison) and Erinn Corrigan; dearest Grammy of Ashley Vannoorbeeck (Mark), Delaney, Miles, and the late Alexandria Corrigan; dear sister of Christine Ficek (Tom). Paulette was an aunt and great aunt to many.

Paulette and D.J. met in high school in LaSalle-Peru and married on August 7, 1965, before welcoming their two much loved children. Paulette loved her three grandkids; they were her pride and joy. She was an avid Blackhawks fan, who enjoyed golfing, cooking, baking, spending time with her friends, and playing cards with her family. In true Sicilian fashion, Paulette always made sure everyone was fed and was known to enjoy a Tito’s cosmo, margarita, or glass of wine.

Her family is hosting a celebration of life, in lieu of a memorial service, on Sunday, January 26 from 1:00pm - 4:00pm at Shaw's Crab House, 1900 E Higgins Rd, Schaumburg. In lieu of flowers, donations to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital www.stjude.org would be appreciated.
