Mary Hassler of Cornwall-On-Hudson, a retired secretary/bookkeeper for the Town of Cornwall Supervisor's Office, and former Deputy Town Clerk of Cornwall, died Wednesday June 8, 2005 at her residence. She was 92. Born in Brooklyn, N.Y. on August 30, 1912 to Charlotte Houston and John W. Anderson, Mary moved with her family to Newburgh at the age of six, where her father was a building/contractor. She graduated from Newburgh Free Academy and the Spencerian Business School. On April 16, 1920, she married Joseph F. Hassler of West Point and Cornwall-On-Hudson, and took up residence for a short time in Newburgh before moving to Cornwall-On-Hudson, where she spent the rest of her life. She was widowed on February 19, 1976. Mary was an avid traveler and traveled the world extensively with her late husband; son, Roger; and friends, enjoying treks throughout the world and enjoyed fun-filled family reunions with cousins in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Mary was an active member of the Powelton Club Thursday Bridge Group and other area Bridge groups; the Cornwall-On-Hudson Parent-Teacher's Association; Brownie, Girl Scout and Cub Scout Troops in Cornwall-On-Hudson; and had an avid interest in sewing, knitting, crocheting, cooking and baking. She was a member of the former Our Lady of Hope Center, the Oblate Fathers of Balmville. Mary was a devoted mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
