Corinna Martina Beckman born 09.23.1983, unexpectedly passed away peacefully in the early hours of Friday the 29th of March 2019. Her family is shocked and heartbroken. She will never know how much she has taught her family with her perseverance and love for life. She has touched many peoples lives during her time on Earth, even though she had many obstacles to overcome! She never complained, just loved everyone! To quote one of her fill-in caretaker’s Will McLeod: “Corinna changed my life for the better and literally every second I spent with her made me understand the world better.”
Rest in peace and always have sweet dreams; keep on writing your journals about all your memories and wishes! Mom, Dad, and Sisters will always love you to the sky!!!
Corinna was born with Struge Weber Syndrome and received services from the Autism Society. A scholarship for an AC Reynolds High School student will be set up in Corinna’s memory so that her life lives on through others. Memorial donations may be made to the Buncombe County Schools Foundation at 175 Bingham Road, Asheville, NC or may be made payable to The BCS Foundation and left at ACRHS.

  9. Liebe Gabi, lieber Martin, liebe Noelle, liebe Natalie,

    es ist unfassbar und erschüttert uns zutiefst, dass Corinna so unvermutet aus dem Leben gerissen wurde. Das letzte Mal, dass wir sie gesehen haben, war meines Wissens 1991, also vor über 28 Jahren. Wenn ich zurückblicke, erinnere ich mich vor allem an Ihre Spontanität, Herzlichkeit und Offenheit. Die Beileidsbekundigungen hier auf der Seite unterstreichen dies und dass sie fuer alle in Ihrer Umgebung ein Hort der Freude war.
    Wir können nur schwer erahnen, welch eine Lücke ihr Weggang hinterlässt, aber wir wünschen Euch Kraft, diese schwere Zeit zu überwinden. Seid aber gewiss, dass Menschen, die man liebt, wie Sterne sind. Sie funkeln und leuchten noch lange nach ihrem Erlöschen.
    Mit stillem Gruss
    Margot & Stephan
