Lindsay Nicole Corry
July 23, 1991 - August 5, 2021
Lindsay is the inspiration behind The Corry Family Foundation.
Diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at just eleven months old, Lindsay understood from an early age what it meant to navigate life alongside illness. She never allowed a diagnosis to define who she was. Instead, her experiences deepened her kindness and deep compassion and gratitude for others.
For many years, Lindsay volunteered helping children with Diabetes to understand their diagnosis and to live confidently in all ways. She continued this work while earning both her undergraduate and graduate degrees from Carnegie Mellon University.
Lindsay later faced cancer as a young adult and passed away in 2021 at the age of 30. Her generosity, resilience, creativity, and instinct to care for others continue to inspire our faimly's work.
The Corry Family Foundation was created to carry that spirit forward by supporting people and organizations in ways that offer care, support, opportunity, and hope.
Lindsay's Influence
Lindsay never allowed the challenges she faced to define who she was. Instead, her experiences shaped an the way she saw the world and strengthened her natural instinct to care for others.
As Lindsay's older sister, I had the incredible privelage of watching her grow into a dynamic, creative, and deeply compassionate young woman. She approached life with positivity, curiosity, humor, and a genuine ability to truly show up for others. She had a remarkable ability to make people feel seen and understood.
Her influence continues to shape our family and the work of The Corry Family Foundation. We hope to honor Lindsay not only through sharing her story, but by carrying forward the way she lived: generously, creatively, with an openness to others and a belief in living fully.
