Duel 1 Duel 2HARTFORD – Betty “Mimi” Patten Duel, 91, of Hartford, went into the arms of the Lord on Wednesday, December 30 at her home, following a long illness.

Born on August 22nd 1924 in Adamsville, NY. Betty was the daughter of James Patten and Evelyn (Walsh) Patten.

Betty grew up on the family farm in Adamsville. She enjoyed her life despite being poor. She always said, “Everyone was poor, we didn’t know any different”. One of Betty’s first jobs was at the Homestead Tea House in Hudson Falls, a job which she loved. She went on to enlist in the United States Navy during WWII in 1944. Betty considered her time in the Navy to be one of the best in her life. She was very proud to have served her country. During her time in the military, Betty married the love of her life, Frank C. Duel on December 23rd 1945. She was honorably discharged in 1946 and the couple moved to Hudson Falls where they began a family.

She started work as a dishwasher at the Maple Street School in Hudson Falls, which blossomed into a 25 year career, ending as a school lunch manager when she retired in 1980. Betty enjoyed everything about this job from washing dishes to food preparation. She cherished her time with coworkers and the beloved students that she served lunches to. These relationships and memories were thought of fondly for many years to follow.

Betty was an active member of the Hudson Falls United Methodist Church for 40 years. After moving from Hudson Falls to Hartford, she rejoined the Adamsville Baptist Church. Her father, James Patten, helped to build this church in which Betty and her family attended during her childhood. Church and her belief in Christ were always very important to Betty. She was a wonderful Christian woman who lived out her faith.

Betty was a very caring person. She made friends easily and remained friends forever. She was very loyal and had life-long friends from high school, the service, and her work. She valued her relationships and considered her family to be friends as well.

Betty’s family was very important to her and she was the cornerstone that held us all together. She enjoyed teaching the kids to swim, and attending sporting events, concerts, or any other activity. She loved baking and cooking and always was sure to put in her special ingredient, “love”. Wedding cakes were one of her specialties, which she made for numerous family and friends. Betty was very crafty and creative, she took delight in painting, crocheting, sewing, as well as Christmas crafting with Frank. Betty enjoyed being outdoors, tending to her plants, and watching the bluebirds and hummingbirds. She exceled at everything she did and poured her heart into every activity. Her passion and love were contagious. Betty was a wonderful woman who loved her grandchildren and great-grandchildren with all her heart. She played a large role in raising and babysitting her great-granddaughters. They were her pride and joy. Words cannot express the hole that Betty’s passing has left in our hearts and lives, but all of the memories that have been shared will be cherished. Mimi has “sprinkled” our lives with love to last a lifetime.

In addition to her parents, and loving husband of 52 years, Frank “Papa” C. Duel, Betty was predeceased by her siblings: Ida Dessaint, Clifford Patten, Edward Patten, Howard Patten, Dorothy Claire, James Patten, Richard Patten, Kay Patten, and Raymond Patten; and her brothers and sister in-law: Harvey Dessaint, Viola Patten, Glendon Claire, and Romeo Paradis.

LowellHUDSON FALLS – Jane (Jennie) Rymkewicz, of Denis Avenue, passed away Wednesday, December 16, 2015, at the Glens Falls Hospital, with her family at her side.

She was the youngest of five children born to Lithuania/Polish immigrants Anthony Rymkewicz and Johanna Bacewicz Rymkewicz on December 6, 1922 in Lithuania while her parents and her American born siblings were with relatives in the “old country”. Her family made the voyage back to America when she was only six months old, and at the age of twenty-three, she proudly became a naturalized citizen of the United States always holding true to her Lithuanian/Polish heritage and customs.

She grew up on the family’s “County Line” farm which was later acquired by Warren County by eminent domain, now the Warren County Airport. Subsequently, they moved to the family- owned and operated Chestnut Ridge Road Farm in Queensbury but she always said her fondest memories were of her life on the County Line farm.

On September 15, 1945, she married Edward L. Lowell, Sr. at St. Mary’s Church in Glens Falls, New York.

Jane was the true matriarch of her family. She set high standards and expectations for her four children and she could bring any one of them back in line with just a look of disapproval. Her children and grandchildren were of the most importance to her. Frequent family gatherings with an abundance of home cooked food, boisterous story-telling and laughter were her greatest pleasure. She loved to bake, garden and play the horses.

In the 1940’s and 1950’s she worked at Clark Brother’s Glove Factory in Glens Falls. At that time, she also owned and operated a milk route business with her husband.  When her youngest son, Danny, started elementary school, she went to work at C.R. Bard Catheter; retiring in 1988.She was a woman, always decades ahead of her times, strong, independent and doing everything on her own terms. She will be missed by her children and grandchildren.

In addition to her parents and husband, Jane was predeceased by her infant sister, Lydia; her brothers: Stanley Rymkewicz, Leslie Rymkewicz and Felix Rymkewicz; and her son-in-law, George J. Cooper, Jr.

She is survived by her children, Jo-Ann Morton and her husband Patrick, of Hudson Falls, Phyllis Cooper of Stony Creek, Edward L. Lowell Jr. of Stony Creek, and his companion, Jill Field, and Daniel J. Lowell and his wife, Sharon Harris, of Queensbury; her grandchildren, Patrick H. Morton, III and his wife, Nicki, Lisa A. Morton, Michael J. Morton and his wife, Sheila, Melissa A. Cooper Kugler and her husband Chris, Edward L. Lowell III and his wife Jennifer, Linda Lowell and her fiancé Anthony W. Kubaryk , Daniel J. Lowell, II  and Nathaniel Lowell; her great- grandchildren, Zachary Morton, Josh Morton, Dylan Morton, Jesse Morton and Cooper Henke; and several nieces and nephews.
