Betty Ann Harrison Corn

It’s been called the long goodbye, and for Betty Ann Corn, it was that. But on Tuesday, May 31, 2022, Betty Ann said hello to her Savior, her husband, her parents, and others among the great cloud of witnesses waiting to greet her.

Betty Ann was born September 12, 1941 to her proud and loving parents, Bill and Elizabeth Harrison. She never outgrew and always remained her daddy’s little girl and the apple of his eye. More like sisters than mother and daughter, Elizabeth and Betty Ann had fun together whether they were cooking, cleaning, shopping or relaxing – although neither was particularly good at the latter.

Both just shy of the tender age of 19, Betty Ann married Winfred Earl Corn, Jr. and they shared a loving and happy home for over 50 years. When Alzheimer’s disease began to rob Betty Ann of her memories and capabilities, Winfred lovingly devoted years of the longest days to keep them together for as long as he could.

Betty Ann is survived by her son, Michael Winfred Corn, his wife Stephanie and their daughters Phoebe and Jane Ann, of Fort Mill, SC. Also surviving are her brother and his wife, Charles and Kathy Harrison of Roebuck; and a large extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.

Her family and friends are grateful for her warm smile, positive attitude, helpfulness, and genuine caring and concern. All things that, though temporarily taken from her, have now been restored.

Straight out of Roebuck high school, she started her career at Spartanburg General Hospital in the X-ray Department. As the names of the hospital and the departments in which she worked changed through the years, Betty Ann held various positions reflecting advancements made by both Betty Ann and the hospital.

Betty Ann was an active member of Mt. Calvary Presbyterian Church in Roebuck where she taught kindergarten Sunday school, served in numerous capacities with the Women In the Church, cooked delicious dishes for a variety of functions, and happily served God by serving others.

Friends and family will be received at Mt. Calvary Presbyterian Church in Roebuck on Saturday, June 4th, 10:00 to 10:50 AM. The funeral service will follow beginning at 11:00 AM in the church and officiated by Reverends Richard Thomas and Bob Pettit. Burial will follow in the church cemetery.

The family extends their appreciation and respect to Rosecrest Lutheran Home of SC and Spartanburg Regional Hospice for their wonderful care and compassion.
