With heavy hearts we share the passing of our beloved grandmother,

Woodbury public schools and went on to become a Certified Public

Accountant, owning and operating her own business, Thelma R. Corey,

CPA Firm in Montpelier for many years. During the time she was studying

to become an accountant she owned a bulk mailing business on Barre St.

In her early years gram married Alton Corey and they had three children

together that she adored. Gram led an active and social life. She was a

United Methodist Church, as well as Treasurer of the Women's Auxiliary of

the Busch North Series. She was also an avid supporter of the Stockwell

enriched the lives of all who knew her. She enjoyed traveling in her

motorhome and supporting her grandson, Kip Stockwell's racing career, her

granddaughter, Megan Beachum's horse shows as well as attending all of

the various sport activities of her four great grandchildren. Gram's

generosity and love extended beyond her family to her many friends and
