Elaine C. Corazzi

Elaine Corazzi, 90, of South Canaan, formerly of Hamlin, passed away peacefully Friday morning at home.  She was the widow of Julius Corazzi who died in 2004.

Born August 16, 1927 in Philadelphia, she was the daughter of the late Joseph and Catherine McConnell Norton.  Elaine moved from North Wales, PA to Hamlin where she raised her family.  She owned and operated the Dark Horse Farm, which she took great pride in.  She was very passionate about all animals and was very active in many animal rescue groups.  Elaine also served the community for many years with the Hamlin Fire and Rescue Company where she served as dispatcher and president.   Her community involvement led her to write numerous articles in the Wayne Independent under the heading of “Hamlin News.”   Her faith in God was a central part of her life.

More than anything Elaine loved her large family.

The family would like to thank Celtic Hospice and Home Instead Senior Care.
