Corinne Helen Holt

Corinne Helen Holt was born in Rumford, Maine on February 13, 1947 where she grew up with the love and care of the late Fred and Peggy Robbins. After spending her early childhood years in Maine, Corinne moved with her family to Southern California where she grew up to meet her true love, Bob Holt. As an Air Force family, Corinne and Bob lived in England for three years, where both of their children were born. After returning State-side, she helped raise their children while obtaining her Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Bowie State University. She went on to become a Certified Public Accountant with the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Corinne and Bob enjoyed 52 years of marriage. She will be most remembered for her gentle and patient nature. Corinne often said that she never ate a meal that she didn’t love as long as she didn’t have to cook it herself. Corinne spent her life loving her family (including her cats, of course), reading, playing bridge and traveling, but most of all she will be remembered by all for her warm hugs. Corinne ended her life on April 3, 2018 after a lifelong struggle with depression. She will be remembered by her loving husband Bob; siblings JoAnne Harbourt and husband Carl of Denmark, Maine, and Fred Robbins and wife Judy of Hiram, Maine; and children Michael Holt and wife Tina of Phoenixville, Pennsylvania and Kristin Evans and husband Tim of Baltimore, Maryland; grandchildren Benjamin Evans and fiancée Jamie, Mackenzie Brandon, Aldyn Holt, Trevor Brandon, Zander Holt, Ellie Holt, Cole Evans; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends throughout the country. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date when her family and friends will be able to gather together. In lieu of flowers the family suggests that donations in Corinne's name may be made to the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation through the following link: www.bbrfoundation.org. The BBF awards grants to young, mid-career and senior scientists, who conduct innovative and ‘out of the box’ research to achieve breakthrough advancements and, ultimately, decode the complexity of mental illnesses.
