Luanne L. Corbett

Luanne L. Corbett, 69, of South Kingstown, passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones on Wednesday, May 1st. Born in South Kingstown, she was the loving daughter of the late James W. Corbett Sr. and Mildred (Rice) Hammond.

Luanne lived her life just as she wanted and made no apologies! She loved nothing more than sitting in the yard on a hot summer day, listening to classic rock, eating watermelon, and having her Michelob Lager and Kool cigarettes. Every spring and summer she could not wait to sit at Point Judith Lighthouse enjoying the view while eating Iggy’s takeout clam cakes and chowder, whole-belly clams, or lobster rolls (always with butter, no mayonnaise!). She always loved her trips to JCPenney so she could add to her ever-expanding shoe collection and wardrobe, O’Neil’s Package Store, and in recent years the Sweetspot Dispensary, which she affectionately called “The Candy Store”.

She is survived by her siblings, James W. Corbett, Jr. (Debra), Cynthia L. Corbett, Robert E. Corbett, Sr. (Tonya), Barry M. Corbett (Jackie), Steven S. Corbett, and is predeceased by sister Becky J. Loughborough. She leaves behind nieces and nephews, Jean Marie Giles (Jeff), James W. Corbett, III (Stacy), Brandy A. Clapprood (Matthew), Terri Carlson (Adam), Jamie Trudell, Steven Briggs, Robert E. Corbett, Jr., Barry M. Corbett, Jr. (Sandy), and is predeceased by nephews Jason Trudell (Mindy), and Jody Loughborough. Luanne also leaves behind beloved cousins Beth Waite (Ambrose) and Bradley Banks (Beth), great friends Ashley Pierson and Saundra Anderson, and many great nieces/nephews, cousins, and friends. She will be deeply missed by all that loved her. Go easy, Luanne!

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
