Joseph “Joe” R. Cori

Joseph R. Cori (“Joe”) of Glen Mills, PA, loving husband, father and Pop, passed away on

Sunday, November 12, 2023 at the age of 96. He was born on March 11, 1927 in Philadelphia

to the late Felix and Mary Cori. Joe was the devoted husband of Carmela Monzo Cori (“Millie”) and they shared 68 years of marriage.

Joe spent his retirement years tinkering in his garage, spending quality time with his sons and

their families, watching sports on TV and being a great but humble neighbor and proud U.S. veteran. Well into his eighties, Joe regularly navigated for Phillies games the one-mile-plus walk from Packer Avenue to Citizens Bank Park. Joe was content when teaching his grandchildren how to fish at the Jersey shore, managing various family home projects and handling such small details as topping off oil levels and cleaning vehicle windshields. Joe enjoyed five years of visits from and photos of his three great-grandchildren, whom he loved abundantly. Joe was also a loving husband, caretaker and chauffeur to his wife, Millie.

Pop will be greatly missed by Millie, sons Ronald (Kathryn), Raymond (Susan) and Joseph, Jr.;

treasured by his grandchildren Robert Cori (Anna), Luke Cori (Alexandra Klausner) and Natalie

Cori (Chris Martin) and great-grandchildren Blake, McKenzie and Camden Cori.

Joe is survived by one brother, Alfred Cori (Rose), and predeceased by 11 brothers and sisters.

Family and friends are invited to his Visitation on Friday, November 17, 2023 at 10:30AM followed by funeral Mass at 11:30AM – both events at the church.
