Though he didn’t always walk closely in his faith, one of the final moments of his life was spent asking his daughter to lead him in a prayer of salvation. Surrounded by family, he also made peace with people in his life—a powerful gesture of humility and healing that brought comfort to those who were present.\n\nHe also had a unique legacy that could only belong to him: Darius proudly held the unofficial title of the number one blue plastic barrel salesman on the East Coast. From backyards in North Carolina to farms in Florida, if you saw a blue barrel, there was a good chance Darius Corbin had something to do with it. His hustle, charm, and knack for sealing the deal made him a local legend in a niche only he could master.\n\nPer his wishes, Darius will be cremated.

Her birth was immediately preceded by an 11 mile midnight boat ride from the remote Plumley’s Camp, on Long Lake to the town dock, 15 minutes to get the car out of storage, and a 20 mile ride over mountain roads to Tupper Lake. When the doctor failed to show up, the blessed Sister-in-Charge delivered the person temporarily known as “Baby Girl Plumley”, daughter of the late Carl E. Plumley and Mary L. Plumley of Long Lake and Syracuse, NY. \n\n\n\n\nJanet grew up enjoying summers in the Adirondacks with her family, and continued camping with her own family and friends throughout New England for many years. She received her B.S from the University of Buffalo, where she met Joe Schirripa, her husband of 43 years and the love of her life. She also earned a MSW from Syracuse University and carried her social worker “chops” into professional leadership in foster care as well as a college counselor, a high school administrator, and a church mission and ministry coordinator, among other roles. Janet was a masterful jigsaw puzzle assembler and a talented cook and baker. She was a community-builder who inaugurated fire pit parties in the cul-de-sac in North Raleigh where she, her husband, and her beloved dog Ted have lived for 12 years. Friends from prior phases of her life in Central New York, Nashua, NH and Largo, FL join her many friends from Raleigh celebrating her joy-filled life.\n\n\n\nJanet’s husband Joseph and children Daniel Schirripa and partner Corri Buch, of Apex, NC and Anna Schirripa Breese and wife Juniper Breese, of San Francisco, CA survive her.

Her academic journey began at Wellesley College, where she earned her B.A. in Economics in 1970.  Driven by an insatiable curiosity and a desire to serve others through medicine, she went on to receive her M.D. from the University of North Carolina in 1974.\n\nSuzanne completed her internship in the Department of Medicine at the University of Florida Teaching Hospital from 1974 to 1975.  She returned to North Carolina for her residency at UNC Hospitals (1975–1976) and continued as a Fellow in the Division of Immunology within the Department of Medicine at UNC from 1976 to 1978.  Her dedication to both clinical practice and academic medicine led her to serve as a Consultation Physician from 1978 to 1993 and as Clinical Professor of Medicine in the Division of Immunology and Rheumatology from 1992 to 1994.\n\nFrom 1981 to 1993, Suzanne served as Director of the Rehabilitation Program Office at the UNC School of Medicine.  Her leadership and vision helped shape programs that supported countless patients and medical professionals alike.  Never one to stop learning or growing professionally, she earned an M.L.S. from Duke University School of Law in 1996—further testament to her intellectual rigor and wide-ranging interests.\n \nOutside of her professional life, Suzanne found joy and inspiration in many pursuits.  She had a special affection for pugs and cats, whose companionship brought her great comfort over the years.  A passionate genealogist and researcher at heart, she spent years delving into family histories with meticulous care. \n \nHer love for churches—especially their stained glass windows—reflected both her aesthetic sensibility and spiritual depth.\nSuzanne was a devoted member of Chapel of the Cross Episcopal Church in Chapel Hill, where she served faithfully as Vestry Member, a Liturgical and Pastoral Care Volunteer, and member of the Christian Formation program and Altar Guild.  Her presence there was marked by reverence, dedication, and quiet strength.\n\nGardening and design were also among Suzanne’s cherished hobbies; she approached each with creativity and thoughtfulness that mirrored how she lived every aspect of her life—with intention and grace.\n\nThose who knew Suzanne remember her as friendly and curious—a teacher not only by profession but by nature.  She had an extraordinary ability to immerse herself deeply into subjects that fascinated her, often researching them for years with unwavering focus.  Her legacy would have to include how she modeled lifelong learning for the young, and not-so-young women who she held dear.\n\nSuzanne has a large network of friends who considered her family.  May her memory continue to inspire them, and all who were fortunate enough to know her.\n\nFuneral services will be held at Chapel Of The Cross Church, 304 E. Franklin Street, Chapel Hill, NC on April 25th at 1pm.
