Moreau

It is with great sorrow and sadness; we lost our mother, grandmother, and good friend Barbara Anne (Corlew) Shaw, 82, who passed away peacefully at home in Moreau surrounded by family Thursday, March 23, 2017.

Born June 17, 1934 in Whitehall she was the daughter of the late Harold Sr. and Elizabeth (Bessie) Macfarren Corlew.

She enjoyed basketball in high school, the Saratoga Race Track, walking, taking bus trips with the Moreau seniors, cruises, birthday gatherings with family and friends, going to the movies and lunch on Tuesdays with the girls.

Barb volunteered for the Telephone Pioneers, Sandy Hill Days and contributed too many organizations.

She worked 35 years at the telephone company in Glens Falls.

Barb will be sadly missed by family and friends.

In addition to her parents, Barb was predeceased by an infant son, Michael Sweet; brothers, Harold Corlew Jr. and Richard Corlew; and sister, Linda Sellingham.
