Dear All,
The much-loved artist Rita Corbin whose line drawings graced
the pages of so many of our Catholic Worker journals died last night. She was
81 years old. The blood clot in her leg that was detected on Wednesday did not
respond to medicine. By yesterday, doctors were advising the family to prepare
for the worst.
All five of her children were present for her passing,
thank God. Some of us from the Catholic
Worker community were also able to sit with them for a little and to bid our
farewells to a woman who gave concrete witness to Peter Maurin's bold and
audacious claim that we are "co-creators with God."
A service for Rita is scheduled for Dec. 3rd. but aside from
date I have no other details. Will try to keep folks apprised once we know. You can also contact Stephanie Salasin,
partner of Martin Corbin, Rita's son directly. She is kindly helping the family
with arrangements: steph.salasin@gmail.com
I posted a small announcement on NCR Today:
