LATHAM – Corinne L. VanAlstyne, 76, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, October 19, 2010 at Albany Medical Center Hospital, after a long courageous battle with heart disease. She was surrounded by her loving family.
Corinne was born on November 16, 1933, in Adams, MA and was the daughter of the late Louis and Mildred (Callan) Adams. She loved life and her family, and was always the life of the party.
