It is with great sadness that we hear of the passing of Ann (Mitzie) Corscadden from the Class of 1955.
Mitzie started in Shannon College of Hotel Management in 1953, where she embarked on a journey that would shape her future and leave an indelible mark on the hospitality industry, a Shannon Graduate to the end. She will be remembered not only for her remarkable achievements as a businesswoman and hotelier but also for her compassion and kindness as a wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and lifelong friend to many.
Mitzie touched the lives of everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. Her unwavering dedication to excellence in hospitality created a lasting impression on guests and employees alike, leaving a legacy that will endure for many years to come. She remained grounded in her philosophy of hospitality—simple yet profound: “Just be nice to people.” Her genuine warmth and infectious smile left a mark on all who crossed her path, embodying the essence of true hospitality.
Mitzie’s son Howard graduated in 1985 and her daughter Marnie graduated in 1988 and later returned to complete her MSc in 2022. Her grandson Harry is entering 4th year in Shannon College.
Her family have sponsored “Mitzie Corscadden Scholarship” at our annual graduation for the past number of years. This scholarship is worth €2,000 and recognises Entrepreneurship and Leadership and we are honoured to have it included as part of our Graduation awards.
