Pat Corle, the president of Dayton Realtors since January, died Monday “after a brief illness,” the organization announced.

“She was dedicated to the association, serving on numerous committees and was a supportive presence at Dayton Realtors events,” the group said.

Corle, 78, lived in Beavercreek. A second-generation real estate agent, she earned her license in 1994 and co-owned Home Experts Realty with her husband, Clyde, Dayton Realtors said.

The couple was honored last year as the Realtor recipients of the Marie Kindrick Fair Housing Award, and Corle was recognized as the Ohio Realtor of the Year in 2024.

“In keeping with that spirit, she modeled her presidency around ‘The Golden Rule,’ respecting the diverse opinions of all the members,” Dayton Realtors said in a post.

Prior to serving as Dayton Realtors president, Corle served as Ohio Realtors director.

She also filled leadership roles with the Women’s Council of the National Association of Real Estate Brokers, WCR Dayton, Miami Valley Fair Housing Center and more.

Her community service included volunteering for Levitt Pavilion and Schneider House of Hope, according to Ohio Realtors.

A viewing is scheduled for 4 to 8 p.m. April 7 at Tobias Funeral Home, 3970 Dayton Xenia Road, Beavercreek. A viewing also is slated to take place there for 10 a.m. to noon April 8 with services to immediately follow from noon to 1 p.m.

Corle will be laid to rest at Rose Hill Burial Park at 4781 South Charleston Road in Springfield.
