He was born September 9, 1935 in St. Marys, son of the late Zolferino and Mary Rose Nart Marconi.  He was a lifelong resident of the area and a graduate of St. Marys Area High School, Class of 1954.  Corky was a proud veteran of the United States Army, serving his country from 1955 until 1957.  Following his service, Corky was employed at Pure Carbon.

On August 6, 1960, in the Sacred Heart Church, he married Marilys Schlimm, who survives. They were blessed to share sixty-five wonderful years together.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by three sisters: Marguerite Schaut, Louise Mattiuz, and Edith Cortina; and five brothers: Victor, Aurelius, Charles Marconi and Armando and James, who passed in infancy.

Corky was a fan of all sports and liked old cars.  He put his family above everything else and could be found in any gym supporting his grandchildren.  He was their biggest fan.
