Corinne Kay Fugate

Sept. 25, 1964 – July 26, 2025

Corinne Kay Fugate was born Sept. 25, 1964, to Gloria June (Riggs) Fugate and Clyde Wilson Fugate.

On July 26, 2025, Corinne ran into the arms of our dad for the best hug, after a short but relentless battle against cancer. Over the last several months, she displayed the strength and courage of a true warrior — and through it all she was positive and kept facing the challenges with optimism and conviction.

She is survived by her sons, Nathan Fugate and Cameron Fugate; mother, Gloria Fugate; brother, Mike Fugate and his wife Kim; sister, Kelly and her husband Mark Rowe; and numerous nephews and a niece, several aunts and uncles, many cousins and so many friends. Corinne was a member of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, who was proud of her heritage.

Corinne was raised in the Glide, Oregon area and went to school there from kindergarten through high school. She spent years in Eugene at the University of Oregon and at Umpqua Community College, furthering her education. Corinne settled in the area east of Roseburg to raise her boys—who were the light of her life. And though our hearts are broken, we know she is up to crazy shenanigans with dad, her uncles, Art and grandma. 

We will all miss her and remember the good times we had in her presence—as kids, as young adults, as crew members and as those who loved her.

A celebration of life was held at the Glide Community Center at 11 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 3.
