KINGSBURY – Albert Earl Brownell (Al, Albie), 83, of Kingsbury went to his eternal home on March 31, 2019, with his family by his side, at the Glens Falls Hospital.

Born on May 1, 1935 in Fort Ann, he was the son of the late Alexander “Sandy” and Edith (Granger) Brownell.

On November 3, 1956 he married Sheila Barot in Hudson Falls at St. Paul’s Church.

Albert went to Fort Ann School and proudly graduated from New York State University.

Albert started as a farmer’s helper for Norman Hitchcock. He had successful careers at Ac Warner, Warner Pryne, North Country Woodworking and retired from Finch Pryne after 20 years.

Albert always loved to make people laugh with his great sense of humor. He was always there to lend a helping hand to family and friends. He enjoyed family gatherings and reunions. Albert and Sheila belonged to the Adirondack Bluegrass League and Adirondack Fiddlers and enjoyed bluegrass festivals/ music as well as country music. In his younger years, he kicked up his heels at local square dances and was a proud member of the Carpenter Hose Volunteer Fire Department. Albert loved to keep a well-manicured yard and took great satisfaction in keeping his cars immaculate.
