CHINA GROVE — A memorial service will be held Thursday for Mary Alexander Corriher, 82, Shue Road, who died Monday (May 8, 2000) at Rowan Regional Medical Center following a three-week illness.

A native of Landis, she was born July 3, 1917, the daughter of the late John Ulysses and Fannie Kirk Alexander. She was a graduate of Landis High School and Salisbury Business College.

Mrs. Corriher and her husband, the late J. Fred Corriher, president of Linn-Corriher Corp., in Landis, were known for their generosity in many areas.

On May 5, Catawba College, where her son, J. Fred Corriher Jr. is president, dedicated her gift of a set of 37 Malmark handbells during baccalaureate services at the chapel. Last year, she made a $200,000 unrestricted gift to the college in memory of her husband.

Earlier gifts have provided funds for the J. Fred and Mary A. Corriher First Family Scholarship, the Seiwell Chapel Green, the sound system and carillon in the chapel and the renovation of the president’s office.

She has also given to First United Church of Christ, formerly the Evangelical and Reformed Church of Landis, the Blowing Rock Assembly Grounds and the South Rowan YMCA.

A lifelong member of First United Church of Christ, she attended regularly and had served as Sunday school teacher, director of Vacation Bible School and as deacon and elder.

For many years she served on the board of trustees of Blowing Rock Assembly Grounds, where the lodge is named in honor of her and her husband. During the 1960s, she was chairman of the Rowan County Cancer Drive.

Survivors include another son Eugene A. Corriher, Landis; sisters Vertie Lipe, Della Mae Alexander and Margaret Jane Hoke, all of Landis; seven grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.
