Mr. Corley passed away Tuesday, May 27, 2025, at Greenwood Leflore Hospital, at the age of 69. He was born in Greenwood to Joseph and Patsy Ann Corley, Jr. on December 9, 1955. He was a member of New Bethel Baptist Church. He was a retired certified mechanic. He had a unique talent for figuring out just about any issue that arose. As a mechanic, he was of service to many people throughout his career. In that same spirit of service, he made the decision to give of himself one final time so that others may live through the services of MORA.
He is survived by his sisters, Betty Lee Godi of Denton, TX and Jo Ann Hill (James) of Carrollton; brothers, Mike "Bubba" Corley (Nancy) of Texas and Donnie Corley of North Carrollton; and a host of nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Joseph Franklin Corley.
