   PETERBOROUGH, N.H. - Elizabeth Corwin, 84, formerly of Perrysburg Township and a volunteer leader in Toledo area civic, charitable, and environmental groups, died March 1 of emphysema in RiverMead, an assisted-care facili|ty where she'd lived six years.

"She was a very sharp, very directed person," her son, Swift Corwin, Jr., said.
   
   Born in Grand Rapids, Mich., she was a graduate of the University of Michigan. When her brother-in-law died, she took in his son, Rex Corwin, and raised him as part of her family, her son, Swift, Jr., said.
   
   Her husband, Swift, died March 30, 1991.
