Apparently felt dizzy and a neighbor somehow got involved and called the medics who got there quickly,” Christopher wrote. “But after working with her for somewhere around 30-45 minutes, they were unable to revive her.

Fans also remembered Corley, both from her work on the air and her outreach to aspiring radio personalities.

At a coffee shop, a parking lot, a store…..and of course, on the radio,” said Tom Zarecki, a DJ and adjunct professor at Western Connecticut University. “Your radio skills were always highly-polished and ready to drop on an unsuspecting person at a moment’s notice. But hey, that was part of the fun.”
