Lee Megan Corke, 51, of Goodyear, Arizona passed away in her home with the love of her family surrounding her on Thursday, September 17, 2020 after a courageous battle with colon cancer. Megan worked at Phoenix Children’s Hospital for the past 18 ½ years where she was the Administrative Assistant for the Vice President of Periopative Services.
Megan was born at Gorgas Hospital, Republic of Panama on August 16, 1969. As a military dependent she lived in many places and was an early developer. She acquired a deep love of books, had an inquisitive mind, and read voraciously all her life. Curiosity for knowledge was her byword.
Early on she was an organizer and leader with a "get it done" attitude. She had a creative genius in implementing plans and programs to help the largest number of people. Her passions were children, anyone’s child in need.
She will be lovingly remembered by her husband Jonathan (Jon) Corke of 11 years; her children, Brittony and son-in-law Samuel (Sam) Gill, Emily Krietenstein, Ryan Knoth and partner Hannah Guthrie, Naish Corke; grandchildren, Carter Stankiewicz, and Theodore (Theo) Knoth; her mother Carol Patton, father David and step-mother Cindy Holmes; her brothers, Terry and wife Cathy Holmes, Scott and wife Paulette Holmes, Joshua and wife Allison Holmes; sister-in-law Ruth Corke; several nieces, a nephew and a multitude of other relatives and friends. She will also be dearly missed by her co-workers at Phoenix Children’s Hospital.
Due to current circumstances with COVID-19 a celebration of Megan’s life will be held on Saturday, November 21, 2020 at 1:00pm at the Greenwood/Memory Lawn Mortuary and Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, the Corke family suggests memorial contributions be made in Megan’s name to:
