Crawford, Shirley Marie Stelz - The words “well done, thou good and
faithful servant” surely resounded throughout Heaven as our beloved
Mother, Shirley Marie Crawford Stelz passed from this life to the next at
the age of 87 on August 26, 2014. Born on February 3, 1927 in New Windsor
to the late William and Anna (Farley) Crawford, she lived her entire life
in the Hudson Valley. She graduated from Newburgh Free Academy in 1945.
While working for New York Telephone Company, she met her one and only
true love, Gerard Stelz, just recently had returned from military service.
In a blizzard, they were wed on January 25th, 1948 at St. Francis of
Assisi RCC. For several years they made their home in Beacon and in the
early 1960’s they built their home in New Windsor where they raised their
children. Together they were the most generous parents anyone could hope
for. Gerard predeceased her in 1982. As a member of St. Francis for most
of her adult life, Shirley was actively involved with her parish and its
school for many years. She remained a daily communicant until her health
no longer allowed. Blessed with a strong work ethic and desire to serve
others, she served the Town of New Windsor as a Court Clerk and along with
her husband she was an active member of the New Windsor Lions Club. Later
in life, she enjoyed the many friendships she made during her years as a
member of the Ladies AOH of Cornwall. Always looking for life’s next
adventure, she enjoyed traveling and was particularly fond of the ocean,
however, her greatest joy was being with her family and friends. She is
survived by her beloved children, Gerald P. ‘Skip’ Stelz of CA and his
son, her adored and only Grandson, Zachary; her daughter Lisabeth Ann
Stelz Riach and devoted son-in-law John D. Riach of the Town of Newburgh;
her nieces and nephews and their spouses and their children and families
in New Hampshire, California, Florida, and Ireland. She is further
survived by her childhood friends Connie Rocco and Mary Barton; and her
extended Riach, Coyle, and Moriarty-Scheinert families. She was blessed
and privileged to have shared and participated in the lives of Allison and
Chris Scott and their sons Tom and Carter; Stephanie and Stephen
DellaCroce and their children Charlie and Rose; Vanessa Coyle, John, Kate
and Bridget Scheinert. Alzheimer’s is a long term, life altering disease
that one cannot endure alone. Her daughter would like to thank her
physicians Dr. B. Hadid, Dr. John Hughes, and most especially her former
primary care physician, Dr. Eugene Schreiner and his staff for his medical
guidance, kindness and compassion to her and his gift of friendship as we
endured the journey. Visitation will be held from 10 to 11 am on Saturday,
August 30 at Brooks Funeral Home, 481 Gidney Ave., Newburgh. A Mass of
Christian Burial will be celebrated by Rev. William Scafidi at 11:30 am on
Saturday, August 30 at St. Francis of Assisi Church, Newburgh. Burial will
follow in the family plot at Cedar Hill Cemetery, Newburgh. Mom fought her
disease with grace and humanity, courage and dignity. The journey of
Alzheimer’s takes an immeasurable toll on one’s heart, but we praise God
for the gift of her presence in our lives all these years. We now pray for
her peace and eternal rest and that the cure for this wretched disease
will be close at hand soon.

Flynn,
Jacqueline
Ford, Carolyne Lanxon Kelley a former Toledo resident,
passed away peacefully in her Florida home on January 18, 2012,
following a long illness. She was born on July 8, 1927, in Newburgh, NY,
to Catherine and Arthur Ford, and lived in that area until her marriage
to Harold Kelley, the love of her life for 65 years. They had met at
West Point in 1945 when she attended a dance as a blind date. Carolyne
was particularly proud of the roles her ancestors played in the
beginnings of our nation. She was born in one of the historical homes of
her mother's family, the Ellisons, who were early and prominent settlers
of New Windsor, NY, operating a prosperous shipping business. Their two
homesteads were used by George Washington and Henry Knox when each made
their headquarters on Ellison farms during the terrible winter the
Colonial troops spent in the New Windsor Cantonment. The family supplied
critical help with food and firewood. Carolyne was baptized in St.
Thomas Episcopal Church in New Windsor and married in St. George's
Episcopal Church in Newburgh, both churches established and endowed by
her ancestor, Thomas Ellison. Another prominent patriot ancestor, Jacob
Morton, was selected by Washington as the Marshal for his 1789 New York
inauguration. His father, John Morton, was a signer of the Declaration
of Independence and known by the British as the "Rebel Banker". Yet
another ancestor, Charles McKnight, the first Surgeon General of
Washington's Colonial Army, was the source of Carolyne's approval for
membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution. Carolyne was a
lifelong musician, studying voice from an early age, attending Julliard
School of Music in New York, and continuing to perform up to the last
year of her life. Among hundreds of musical performances, she sang the
lead role in Gilbert and Sullivan's HMS Pinafore when her husband was
stationed at Los Alamos, NM. She always liked to remember that other
cast members in that production also included atomic scientists! Later,
in Toledo, she was the soprano soloist in The Messiah with The Toledo
Symphony. She sang in choirs and chorales wherever she lived, including
New York, New Mexico, Arkansas, Ohio and Florida. As director of the
Briny Breezes, FL, Chorale, she produced annual spectacular musical
productions for many years. She also gave private vocal lessons to
dozens of students throughout her career and experienced a proud moment
watching one of her students perform at Carnegie Hall. As a long time
member of Monday Musicale in Toledo, she served as president and
performed regularly. She was also the soprano soloist in Toledo's First
Unitarian Church Choir for 37 years. Carolyne was deeply dedicated to
sharing her love of the arts with children in the community. Through her
longtime membership in the Toledo Symphony League, she helped organize
and design the Young People's Concerts that introduced thousands of area
school children to classical music. She was also a music docent at the
Toledo Museum of Art, sharing her musical expertise with the many school
groups viewing the exhibits. Sharing a longtime interest in reading and
education, Carolyne and Harold endowed two reading and study rooms at
the main branch of The Toledo-Lucas County Public Library in their names
and their children's. A love of traveling with her beloved husband took
them across the U.S., Europe, and Australia, and only a few years ago,
she and Harold were zip lining in Costa Rica! When home, they seldom
missed a week of round and square dancing, along with bridge games with
friends. They also participated in Model A club trips and activities
along with enjoying another shared hobby of researching family
genealogy. Carolyne is survived by her husband and three children;
Kathleen Putnam (Lou), Keith (Shahla Emadi) and Kristen Scheibert-Mizell
(Chess); grandchildren, Andrea Kelley Pogany (Andy), Brendan Putnam,
Erin Kelley May (Nate), Kelley Putnam Necioglu (Ali Kemal), Stephen
Kelley, Kevin Scheibert, Katherine Scheibert and Kayla Mizell; three
step-grandchildren, Nazanin Farchtchi, Nazgol Farchtchi Fearnow (Kevin),
Chess Mizell, and one great-grandchild, Hannah Carolyne Pogany;
step-great-grandchildren, Kamram and Kayvan Fearnow. She was preceded in
death by her sister, Harriet Ellison Ford in 1980. Since leaving Toledo,
Maumee and Perrysburg, Carolyne and Harold have resided in Old Oak
Trails in Sanford, MI and Briny Breezes in Boynton Beach, FL. Services
will be held in Florida on January 22 and a memorial service will follow
at a date to be set for friends and family in Toledo, OH. The Family
requested memorial donations be sent to the First Unitarian Church of
Toledo, 3205 Glendale Avenue, Toledo, OH 43614 or to Hospice of Palm
Beach County Foundation, 5300 East Avenue, West Palm Beach, FL 33407.

McHenry, Robert S. "Bob" - A longtime Cole Valley resident Robert S. "Bob"
McHenry died Saturday March 19, 2011 at California Pacific Medical Center
in San Francisco. The cause was metastatic cancer which was discovered
only days before his death. His friends and family gathered at his bedside
and gained some closure, comfort and communion in the last hours before
his death. He died in the early morning in the beautiful setting of a room
with an expansive view of his beloved San Francisco Bay. Born in Newburgh,
NY on November 18, 1927, he was the last of three boys born to William
Stewart and Jane McHenry. After graduating from Newburgh Free Academy, he
briefly served in the USAF and went on to pursue studies in Engineering at
MIT and University of Chicago. Bob's love of classical music led to a
lifelong obsession with and mastery of the developing technology for
"HI-FI" sound reproduction. Shortly after his arrival in San Francisco in
the early 1950's, he worked for Fred Eber at Eber Electronics. In the
coming decades he anticipated the audiophiles' desperate search for
accurate reproduction of musical performances. He founded World of Sound
on Market St. in 1967, then Bright Ideas lighting, and subsequently went
into private design and consultations, creating and installing hundreds of
systems in the Bay Area. He purchased and extensively renovated two
buildings on Carl Street. He resided in one or another of the distinctive
apartments for the ensuing years. To his renters he was often referred to
as "the best landlord ever." Bob distinguished himself for his service to
others. In 2010 he was recognized for his 30 years of dedicated volunteer
service by the Bay Area chapter of the National Council on Alcoholism. He
volunteered for many years on the local Suicide Prevention Hotline, was a
leader in the ACCEPT alcohol and drug addiction program, and furthered the
work of ARA in the Haight. He was a volunteer and patron of the San
Francisco Symphony. He supported liberal and humanist causes including the
Human Rights Campaign Foundation of Washington D.C. and the Americans
United for the Separation of Church and State. He asks anyone wishing to
remember him to send contributions to one of these foundations. Bob was a
brilliant conversationalist, a charming companion, a consummate gentleman,
and a blast to hang out with. He was always quick with a quip or a precise
and insightful observation. He is survived by nephews David McHenry of
Stone Mountain, GA and Billy McHenry of Carson City, NV and nieces Marcia
McHenry of Sandy Springs, GA and Jean Minuta of Washingtonville, NY, and
friends Mark, Millie, Angelo, Michele, Rick, Judy, Pat, Bruce and Bob. A
