QUEENSBURY – Marcia V. Sawn, mom passed into the arms of the Lord on March 8, 2019, after a short Illness.

She was born on July 30, 1938, in West Rupert, Vermont, the daughter of Martha and Donald Viault.   Marcia attended grade school in the Rupert one room schoolhouse and was a graduate of Washington Academy in Salem.

In 1956, Marcia took a job at the Glens Falls Insurance Co., where she met her future husband, Richard “Dick” Sawn. Mom and Dad settled in Queensbury and raised two children. Mom went into the child care business and spent the next fifty years caring for dozens and dozens of children. Many of them became like a second family to her.

Sunday was her favorite day, as there was church in the morning and then they would travel to West Rupert for Sunday dinner with her grandparents every week. Mom loved Vermont and was a true Vermonter. She was quirky, clever and stubborn. She liked to discuss politics and would rarely admit she had been wrong about anything! Mom also loved music, and often would play her piano and sing with family and friends or crank up the stereo and dance around the living room. She was fun loving, warm and caring.

Dick tragically passed away early in life, and eventually Mom met and married Luman “Lu” Bennett. They spent over twenty blissful years together, until he passed away in 2006. They loved their cats and loved to travel, often traveling throughout New York, New England and Canada on Summer vacations.

Once again Mom was left to renew her life, and she was fortunate to find her special friend, Robert “Bing” Bingham. They also did a lot of traveling and photographing in the Adirondacks and her beloved Vermont. Bing passed away in 2010.

Marcia is predeceased by her father, Donald Viault; her husbands, Richard Sawn and Luman Bennett; and her special friend, Robert Bingham.

She is survived by her mother, Martha Coffin of Sunderland Vt.; her sisters, Bonnie Trout of Sunderland Vt., Denise Legg of Hudson Falls and Dorene Viault of Queensbury; and her brother, Robert “Bobby” Viault of Palm Springs FL; her children, Steven (Dawn) Sawn of Kingsbury, Susan (Brian) Gosselin of Hampton, Kimberly (Paul) Phillips and Michael Bennett; her grandchildren,  Jason Sawn, Casey (Colleen) Wilson, Joshua (Shari) Wilson, Randy Sawn; as well as several cousins, nieces, nephews and great-grandchildren.

We would like to thank the staff of the Slate Valley Center in North Granville, for the excellent care they gave mom.

At mom’s request, there will not be any calling hours, and interment will be at the convenience of the family, in the spring.

GLENS FALLS – Marshall C Stone, 86, of Glens Falls passed away on Friday, March 8, 2019, at his home.

Born April 13, 1932, he was the son of the late Jay C. Stone and Madeline (Clark) Stone Dineen and his stepfather, Jack Dineen.

In 1950, he met Ann Gazzillo and started working for his future father in law in his construction business.

Marshall and his brother, the late Jay E. Stone, enlisted in the U.S. Air Force on Oct. 5, 1952. He was stationed at Smokey Hill AF Base, Salina Kansas.   Marshall was active duty for 4 years followed by two additional years inactive duty.    He also had temporary duty at (upper) Heyford AFB near Oxford England. In 1956, he was honorably discharged.

In 1953, he married Ann Gazzillo.  They were married 65 wonderful years.  He started working at Finch Paper until the early 80’s.  Some might remember him as the part time owner of his Painting business “M.C. Stone and Sons”.  He drove around town in a multi colored retired School Bus resembling the “Partridge Family” Bus. It made a lot of people’s day when they saw him pass by.

Marshall went onto multiple occupations, one being the driver for the Warren County Veterans. During the time he spent with many of the vets, Marshall purchased hats with “God Bless Vets” on them.  He sold over $200 with all of the proceeds going to the Albany VA inpatient vets. He was very proud to have served his Country. He also drove the transit bus for the City of Glens Falls, for many years until his retirement in 2000.

Marshall was a 4th degree Knights of Columbus and a member of the Monsignor Arthur S. Kiffen Counsel. He also was a Grand Knight for one year.

Marshall was well known for his humor.  He loved to make people laugh with his jokes and would make friends instantly. On a warm day, you could always find him smiling on his front porch, saying hello to the people that passed by and offering treats to those who were walking their dogs. He loved being on the porch so much. And on the cooler days you would find him watching his favorite team the NY Yankees. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

In addition to his parents, Marshall was predeceased by his brothers, Ronald Stone, who passed away at the age of 8 years old, and Jay Stone in 2015.

Survivors include his wife, of 65 years, Ann Stone of Glens Falls; his three sons, Stephen Stone and fiancée, Trish of Thief River Falls, MN, Ronald Stone and his partner, Nancy of Greenfield, Massachusetts, Robert Stone of Queensbury; his two daughters, Marsha Stone of Hudson Falls and Melissa Johnson and her husband, Steven of Fort Edward; grandchildren, Brittnee, Breanna, Stephanie, Scotty, Eric, Ian, Shannon and Ashley; ten great grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews; also, his special cousin, Peggy Simpson, of Hudson Falls and her family.

The family would like to thank the wonderful nurses from Hospice, Patty and Vicky; and his home health aides, Kim and Ray, for the kindness and care that they gave Marshall.  The family  also sends a huge thank you to his granddaughter, Breanna, for the love and compassion she showed her grandfather in his final days.  It will never be forgotten.
