Publish in a newspaper
Affectionately known as "Yopie," he brought joy and laughter wherever he went. He worked as a chemical courier and was known for his fun-loving spirit, quick wit, and infectious sense of humor. Yopie had a gift for making people smile and took great pride in sharing his passion for sausage-making with family and friends. He was also a skilled professional woodworker.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his beloved wife, Mary Kate Vaussine Corbello; brother, Emerson "Jimmy" Corbello.
Yopie is survived by his siblings: Howard "Bud" Corbello (Beverly), Paul Corbello (Dorothy), Dolly Ilgenfritz, Joyce Bunch, Sarah Cupp (Michael), Mark Corbello (Judy), and Anthony "Tony" Corbello (Ricky Thigpen). He is also lovingly remembered by many nieces and nephews who will cherish his memory.
Memorial services will be held in First Baptist Church in Welsh, Louisiana on Saturday, July 12, 2025 at 10 a.m. Pastor Pat Deshotel, officiating. A gathering of friends and family begins at 9 a.m. Cremation has been entrusted to Johnson & Brown Funeral Home of Iowa.

My deepest condolences to the Corbello Family upon the loss of dear Yopie. I believe he was a truly good man and a gentleman. I´ll always remember the good times we shared, cooking and laughing with Yopie and Mary- as well as with Bud and Chad. Rest in peace, sweet Yopie.
Sincerely, Janet Moore
