BERNARDSTON, VT--Catholic Worker and well-known artist Rita Corbin's daughter was seriously injured in a car accident on Sunday, November 6. Rita's 17-year-old grandson Daniel Bliss was driving. Tragically, Daniel died in the crash.
Rita’s condition is said to be serious, but stable, and she is expected to survive. She is currently in the ICU at the University of Massachusetts Memorial Medical Center in Worcester.
A gifted artist, Rita’s prints have been printed in a number of publications, including The Catholic Worker and Commonweal,as well as in publications by peace organizations such as the War Resisters League.
She was married to Marty Corbin, former editor of The Catholic Worker (who passed away in 2001). They raised their five children at the Catholic Worker Farm in Tivoli, NY, in the 1960s-70s. She now lives in southwestern New Hampshire, and her four youngest children and many of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren all live nearby in southeastern Vermont.
