LYNNE CORBETT

Lynne Corbett was diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis in 1985 at the age of 21. At this time she was doing the job she loved, waitressing in some of the finest hotels, meeting people from far and wide and enjoying an active social life.

After a few years in a less demanding environment, Lynne retuned to college, at the age of 30, where she successfully completed an HND in Hotel & Catering Management. From this she held the position of Restaurant Manager until redundancy and subsequent ill health made a part-time job more suitable.

Lynne's first love was cooking and she enjoyed nothing more than to prepare meals and buffets at home and at all our friends' parties and special occasions. She was always in demand and more than willing to help out. Her other great love was her family and she especially adored her niece and nephew who in turn loved her to bits!

Tragically Lynne died on September 13th 2008 from cancer, she was 44. She had never complained all her life despite several operations and procedures and she did not complain at the end. She was very brave , organizing her own memorial service (even the catering) and keeping her wicked sense of humour till the last few days.

Lynne wanted other sufferers of Neurofibromatosis in Scotland to benefit in some way, and money raised at her funeral enabled Confer to set up this website. The Board of Trustees and members of "confer" would like to thank the Corbett family for their kindness and support.
