FORT EDWARD – Julianne K. Gleason, 81, of Fort Edward, passed away November 25, 2023, at Saratoga Hospital with her loving husband and family by her side.
Born January 25, 1942, in Manhattan, she was the daughter of the late Thomas and Julia (McGovern) Hurley.
On February 18, 1967, she married Truman Gleason at St. Mary’s Church in Glens Falls. Together they shared 56 years of marriage. Their life was a true love story and the love for each other was unconditional.
Julianne worked at C.R. Bard in Glens Falls for many years.
She loved going to her Friday knitting classes to get together with the girls and also going to the Senior Center in Hudson Falls. She enjoyed trips to the casino and going out to lunch. Every monthly she would take a trip to BJ’s with Hayley and her girls. Julianne always had to let Brylee get at least two or three things that she wanted, that was a must.
Family was most important to Julianne and she was always there for them. Julianne would never hold back on giving her opinion, whether you liked it or not, and that was ok. Her daily phone calls to her family are surely going to be missed.
Julianne had many special friends because wherever she went, she met people and would always say, “It doesn’t cost a dime to speak to someone.” The world has lost a very special person and she will be missed dearly.
Aside from her parents, Julianne was predeceased by her siblings, Thomas Hurley and Barbara Ann Hurley, as well as her brother-in-law, William Gautheir.
Julianne is survived by her husband, Truman Gleason; her fur baby, Fergie; her siblings, Elizabeth Gauthier and Irene and David Field; her nieces and nephews, William Gauthier, Julie and Larry Gaulin, Deena and Norman Coons, Joan Thompson, Kristen and Baron Hall and Tommie-Jo Orr; her great nieces and nephews, Patricia Gaulin and Zack, Mackenzie and Chris Hayes, Corey McGarr, Tyler McGarr and Megan, Hayley and Bryce Breault, Cody and Rylie Hall; her great great nieces and nephews that she absolutely adored, Brylee and Madison Breault and Greyson Hayes. She was excited for the arrival of Baby McGarr that will be coming soon and also Baby Hayes.
Friends may call Friday, December 1, 2023, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Carleton Funeral Home, Inc., 68 Main St., in Hudson Falls.
A funeral service will be conducted Friday, at 6 p.m., following the calling hours.
