Corina F (Losen) Wylie

Corina Losen Wylie, 61, of Chaplin, CT passed away on August 23, 2023.  Born July 1962 to Ernst and Augusta Losen of Windham, CT.  Corina attended Windham High School and worked as an administrative assistant at the University of Connecticut until she retired. 

She is survived by a sister, Evelyn Gillis and her husband Joseph of Shelton; a brother-in-law Patrick Booth of Suffield; two nieces, Kelly Akehurst and Lauren Booth; three nephews, Mark Gillis and his wife Ali, Ryan Gillis and Nicholas Booth; a great-nephew and a great-niece.  Corina is further survived by her former husband Bob Wylie and his wife Lynn and stepmother Ruth Losen.  Along with her family, she is survived by many friends including Patty and Dave Eichner and Joyce and Steve Koft.

Corina is preceded in death by her loving parents Ernst and Augusta Losen and by her twin sister Carol Losen Booth.

As a child, Corina loved to play outside with the neighborhood kids bike riding, skateboarding and building forts.  She and twin Carol were close, great friends, and trusted siblings. They called each other “Canna” for years.  For numerous summers the family went camping.  Co (for short) was fond of fishing (usually off the docks) and always proud of each sunfish she and Carol caught. 

Corina had a great love for all animals.  Her canine companions Trapper, Bear and Dara were very dear to her. She helped animal shelters and rescues when she could and enjoyed watching many animal shows.

To honor Corina we are holding a celebration of her life.  Calling hours are on September 1, 2023 at Potter Funeral Home, 456 Jackson Street in Willimantic, CT from 4pm to 6pm.  We invite anyone who knew her to remember her with us and share your memories.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to any animal rescue or shelter.

Ich Liebe Dich.
