Beatrice J. Corcoran (nee Poletti), beloved wife of 44 years to the late Dr. Andrew P. Corcoran, died peacefully surrounded by her family on Thursday, January 5, 2012, at age 87.
She was born June 1, 1924, in New Brunswick, N.J., to Joseph Michael Poletti and Beatrice Materka Poletti.
Her brother was the late Bernard Walter Poletti.
Mrs. Corcoran is survived by nine children, Andrew P. Corcoran, Jr. (Margrit), Michael Corcoran (Jeane), Kathleen O'Leary (Dennis), Patricia English (Robert), Sean Corcoran (Patricia), Noreen Wenner (David), Joseph Corcoran (Lisa), Margaret Kacer (Peter), and Patrick James Corcoran; and her sister-in-law, Margaret Caufield of Madison, N.J. She was a loving Grandma to her 32 grandchildren, Maureen Corcoran Boyd (Dean), Andrew P. Corcoran, III, Bradley Corcoran, Casey Corcoran Shelton (Jason), Sean O'Leary, Erin O'Leary Stewart (James), Meghann O'Leary, Caitlin O'Leary, Kathleen English, Colleen English Barbare (Joseph), Kerry English, Sean Corcoran, Jr., Brendan Corcoran, Connor Corcoran, Noreen Mary Johnson, Mark Johnson, Brendan Johnson, Daniel Johnson, Brian Johnson, Ian Johnson, Joseph Corcoran, Jr., Kelly Corcoran, Margaret Corcoran, Ryan Corcoran, Matthew Corcoran, Patrick Corcoran, Mary Teresa Corcoran, Jonathan Corcoran, Andrew Corcoran, Peter Kacer, Jr., Elizabeth Kacer, and Andrew Kacer; and her great-granddaughter, Caroline Corcoran Boyd.

Mrs. Corcoran leaves behind a legacy uncommon in its abundance of both love and grace. She sang "If I Loved You" from the musical Carousel to her husband and family, but no one ever wondered "if". Beauty, grace, and her zest for life were apparent to all. Spending time with her family was her passion. She loved a party - singing and dancing.
