Biography: Phoebe Anne Lester Corry departed this life for another on June 14, 2008 in Little Rock, Arkansas. She is survived by her loving husband Dr. Peter M. Corry; daughters Cynthia (Cindy) Bergel, husband Arthur (Art) and granddaughter Corry of Houston, Texas; daughter Daphne Corry of Birmingham, Michigan; daughter Jennifer Blandford, husband Joseph (Joe) and granddaughters Sydney and Peyton of Bloomfield Township, Michigan; her beloved brother Dr. R. Anton (Tone) Lester III and wife Karen of Tyler, Texas; niece Amy Mimms, husband Brian and daughter Emily of Tyler, Texas; nephew Morgan Lester of San Francisco, California; and her much loved one-eyed cats Poppy and Lilly! Phoebe was born in Buffalo, New York on March 1, 1945 to the late Dr. R. Anton Lester Jr. (King) and wife Jeanne (Grammy). She came of age during the 1960’s and truly embraced all of the goodness and constructive belief of a generation of change. She attended Austin College in Sherman, Texas and graduated with a BA from Stephen F. Austin University in Nacogdoches, Texas. In 1970, she earned her JD at the University of Texas--School of Law in Austin, and became an Assistant District Attorney in Travis County. She practiced Criminal and Family Law in Houston, met and married the love of her life, Peter, and proudly raised three girls with him. In 1986 she and Peter moved to Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, where she began her own firm specializing in Elder Law—managing the affairs of thousands of elderly, infirmed or disadvantaged individuals. Though she and Peter moved to Little Rock, Arkansas in 2006, she continued her law practice in Michigan and frequently commuted between the two states. We didn’t get to say goodbye, but that’s well, just Phoebe. She was always in front of the rest of us, going ahead to prepare the way, to pave the road, to start the fire in expectation of our coming. So relax, and know that when the rest of us catch up--the food is going to be fabulous. Funeral services will be 2:00 p.m. Tuesday, June 17 at the Ruebel Funeral Home Chapel, 6313 W.
