WARRENSBURG – Susan Marie Cameron, 61, formerly of Hudson Falls, passed away peacefully in her sleep on the morning of February 23 at Countryside Nursing Home in Warrensburg, NY, where she lived over the past year. Known to all as Sue, the deceased leaves behind a loving family and many friends, to whom she was an inspiring example of joy and caring for others.

Cameron was born on March 7, 1958 at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Utica, NY, the fifth of seven children born to Margaret Carmody Cameron and Raymond Cameron.

Most of Susan’s education took place in the Hudson Falls Central School District, and she attended Hudson Falls High School as a member of the class of 1976. However, an unexpected long-term illness made it necessary for her to leave school during her senior year, and she completed her GED some years later.

Susan spent most of her adult life living in Glens Falls in long-term residences, where her ongoing needs could be tended to by medical professionals.

Susan was passionate about art and music, and she devoted much of her time to making jewelry, paintings, collages and soft sculptures, most of which she gave away as gifts to her family and friends. A posthumous exhibition of her artwork is currently in the planning stages.

Cameron was pre-deceased by both of her parents, who divorced in 1967.

She is survived by six brothers and sisters: Barbara Brownell and Mary Cameron of Florida; John Cameron and Dan Cameron of New York; Michael Cameron of Illinois; and, Theresa Cameron of Virginia. She will also be deeply missed by her eight nieces and nephews: David Hartung of Philadelphia; Deborah Brownell of North Carolina; Patrick Ortiz and Madeline Ortiz, of Texas; Annette Plewniak and Lynette Cameron, of Queensbury; and Aisha Thapaliya and Deven Thapaliya, of Florida. Cameron’s many brothers- and sisters-in-laws, along with her cousins, and her grand-nieces Cecily and Adriana Plewniak, are all part of her loving family.

A Memorial Mass will take place at a later date, in the spring, at St. Mary’s/St. Paul’s Church in Hudson Falls.

Her family wishes to express their gratitude to the staff at both Countryside Nursing Home in Warrensburg and Elderwood Nursing Home in North Creek, in whose excellent care she prospered over the past two years.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Susan’s name to the Warren-Washington Association for Mental Health, Inc., 3043 State Route 4, Hudson Falls, NY 12839

KINGSBURY– Donald E. Tripp, 82, of Kingsbury, and Wildwood, FL, passed away from cancer on Sunday, February 9, 2020 at the Cornerstone Hospice Mike Conley House in Clermont, Florida.

Born on November 14, 1937 in Glens Falls, he was the only child of Earle and Nellie (Trendell) Tripp.   Don was a long- time resident of Kingsbury and recently spent winters in Wildwood, Florida.

He attended Hudson Falls School graduating in 1955 and married Mary Ellen Murphy on July 14, 1956.  They enjoyed 63 years together.

Don was a 3rd generation dairy farmer until 1971. Then, he went to work for the Town of Kingsbury Highway Department moving on to the Washington County Highway Department where he was a foreman when he retired.   Following retirement, he worked several years plotting the 911 addresses throughout Washington County.

While farming he participated in the Washington County Fair Tractor Pull with his International 706 tractor.    His first-place win earned him the opportunity to advance to the New York State Fair competition, where he also placed first.   Giving him the honor of being the first tractor puller from Washington County to have a first- place finish at the New York State Fair, an award he was very proud of.

Though his occupation changed from farming the “farmer” within him never faded. His big tractors were traded for smaller ones.    Don was an avid farm toy collector making several trips to Dyersville, Iowa for the Annual Farm Toy Show, participating in the Greenwich FFA Farm Toy Show, and building his extensive “Toy Room” in their home.

He was a member of the Kingsbury Volunteer Hose Company in its early years.   He served on the Washington County Fair Board for many years and was a member of their executive committee.

Being an only child family was important to Don. He simply enjoyed doing things with family and friends. There were many holiday gatherings and family reunions on the home farm property.  There is no doubt that Don enjoyed talking and he could converse with anyone he met.  His conversations and sense of humor will be missed by all.

Don leaves behind an extensive family. His wife Mary of 63 years, his seven children, their spouses and 14 grandchildren.

He will be missed by his wife, Mary Tripp; their children, Joan(Dale) Prouty and their children,  Adam Prouty, Ida Prouty(Lisa Phillips) and Erin Brisbin, Kathy (Clinton “Lucky”) Stevens and their children, Joshua Stevens and Kristina (Brian) Felton, Albert (Pam) Tripp and his children, Pamela (Adam Quist) and Jeff (Summer Cross), David (Carol)Tripp, Donna Kelly and her sons, Brian (Erika Gundel) and Randy (Kaeli) Kelly, Robert Tripp (Tammy DeBlois) and his children, Katelyn (Zack Bennett), Briana (Mike) Alexander and Robert Jr (Gwen Roberts), Benjamin Tripp (Michele Georgi) and his daughters, Kylie and Teagan Tripp; and a generation of 15 great-grandchildren.

A Celebration of life will be held on Saturday, July 18 from 1 to 4 p.m. at 330 Green Barn Road in Kingsbury. A ceremony honoring Donald will be at 1:30 p.m., followed by a country picnic.

Remembrance donations can be made to a hospice house of your choice, or the Washington County Fair, 392 Old Schuylerville Road, Greenwich, NY 12834.

SCOTIA – James F. Fahey, 73, of Scotia died Friday, January 31, 2020 at his daughters’ home.

Born December 27, 1946 in Schenectady, he was the son of the late James A. and Elnora (Ingles) Fahey.

Jim was a graduate of Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake School and also of Utica College where he obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration.

Jim began his career as a salesman for Olivetti-Underwood. He then helped build multiple Panera Bread restaurants along the east coast, creating the unique fireplaces in their dining rooms. He was most proud of the work he did on several local churches.

He enjoyed outdoor activities and camping throughout the Adirondacks.  Jim was a lifelong New York Yankee’s baseball and Syracuse basketball fan. He was a member of the Scotia Glenville Elks, hosting the St. Patrick’s Day dinner for several years.

Jim is survived by his two daughters, Kim Winne and her husband, Patrick of Moreau, and Lauren Fahey of Lake George; by Rosalie Fahey and her companion, Robert Moore of Scotia; by his grandchildren, Kayleigh Winne, Kassandra Winne, Michael Fahey, Liam Fahey Stack and Ashling Fahey Stack; by his brother, Phillip E. Fahey of Port Henry; and by his niece, Vicki Wallingford of Port Henry.  Jim is also survived by his lifelong friend, Michael Quinlan of Scotia.
