In 1965, Bev and John moved to Hudson Falls.  She worked for Erlangers Fashion in Queensbury, Price Chopper in Glens Falls and finished her working career at her favorite job as cashier in the Hudson Falls High School cafeteria.  She loved chatting with all the students.

While in Hudson Falls, Bev was John’s “assistant” as he ran the American Legion Baseball Team. “Ma”, as the players called her, always had an extra sandwich, soda or her famous spaghetti and meatballs to serve them.

Anyone who met mom knew her as a woman with a heart of gold.  She had an infectious personality, always laughing, joking and talking with anyone she met.

A very special thank you to, Aunt Nancy, who spent every other Sunday with Mom, for the last 10 years.  They laughed, reminisced, ate and cleaned out lots of stuff.  Thank you to her, Aunt Marina and Aunt Joan, who helped with mom at the difficult end.

For 33 years, James was employed with the town of Kingsbury Highway Department.

He was a member of the Sons of The American Legion Post 574 and a member of The American Legion Riders. He loved to ride his trike, which he was always polishing up and buying accessories for. Jim loved to go to casinos, and we will never understand how he had countless video poker apps on his phone but could never figure out how to Google. Jim could always be found on his stool, smoking his cigar, and looking up food recipes. He was a total foodie, like his daughter and granddaughter. The self-proclaimed inventor was always working on a hundred projects, most of which he never finished. Jim also loved going on cruises with his family, seeking out all the food places on the ships. He always looked forward to his Vintage Cars or Harley Davidson calendars he got at Christmas each year.

Dottie’s passionate love of Lake George lasted her entire lifetime. When she and the love of her life Paul met and married, he introduced her to beautiful Drakes Island in Maine which quickly became their “second home” where countless happy years with family and friends were treasured. Dottie was a gem.

GRANVILLE – John W. Dodge, 74, of Granville, passed away Thursday, May 7, 2020, at his home surrounded by his loving family.

Born August 7, 1945 in Granville, he was the son of the late Charles W. Dodge and Gertrude (Pond) Dodge.

On April 2, 2007 he married his “darlin”, Mary Holcomb.  They did everything together; she absolutely was his angel. 

Most knew him as Jack.  He always had a smile to give, a hug for the girls and plenty of time to talk over a cup of coffee with his many friends.  Jack was truly a “jack of all trades”.  His working career ranged from selling cookware and vacuum cleaners’ door to door, to construction and then farming. There wasn’t anything that Jack couldn’t do with a piece of heavy equipment; he was a member of the Operators Union – I.O.U.E. 106 out of Albany.  He was a certified welder.  Jack spent the last 18 years of employment working for Tree Care by Stan Hunt.  He was impressive with a chain saw too!

Jack Dodge lived a life!  A life full of fun and adventure; he was not afraid to try anything – twice if he liked it!  He enjoyed activities ranging from scuba diving, to go-kart racing to team roping and calf roping.  He enjoyed the outdoors, hunting and fishing, taking motorcycle rides and trips on his Harley-Davidson with family and friends as well as camping.  There wasn’t much that he did that didn’t incorporate his love for his family and friends.  It was a rare occasion to see Jack without his cowboy hat and boots as he had a lifelong love for the cowboy lifestyle; it was who he was.

Jack was a man of many talents.  He had a black belt in eating pepperoni pizza.  He could walk into a field of clover and within seconds find four leaf clovers repeatedly.  Jack was light on his feet, anyone with the good fortune to have been his partner on the dance floor will testify to that.  He has a quick wit and was a master of “just resting my eyes”.

He will be missed by many as he was a friend to all!

Jack’s memory will shine brightly through his loving wife of 13 years, Mary Dodge; his children, Kevin Dodge and his fiancé, Kris, Alise (Dodge) McDermott and her husband, Patrick, John Holcomb and his wife Crystal, Kelly Holcomb and Samantha Walker; his grandchildren, Kendie Dodge, Tristin J.D. Oakman (Grasshopper), Lindsey and Brody Holcomb and Mason Stimpson; his great grandchildren, Jameson and Rilynn will carry on his memory.  He is also survived by his three loving sisters, Lila Myer, Joanne “fuzzy” Aldous and Dorothy Rathbun as well as several nieces and nephews, each of whom he had special relationships with.

A special thank you to the Wade family and High Peaks Hospice for their loving support to Jack’s family.

At this time there will be no calling hours. 

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Jack will be laid to rest at Saratoga National Cemetery, as he was an 11-year veteran of the Army National Guard, at the convenience of the family.

Memorial donations in memory of Jack may be made to American Cancer Society, 1 Penny Lane, Latham, New York 12110.

HUDSON FALLS – Kristen M. Temple, 44 of Hudson Falls, passed away on Saturday, April 25, 2020, under the care of hospice at her fathers home in Fort Ann.

Kristen Michele Temple was gifted to the world on March 21, 1976. Born in Ticonderoga NY, she was adopted at 10 weeks and began her new life in Fort Ann. She loved horses and cats and began riding at Jan-San Acres when she was seven. Soon after, she was gifted her first horse Mike, who happily carried Kristen and her best friend, Molly McFadden on many backyard adventures.

Kristen and Molly became involved with Girl Scouts when their moms started a troop for Fort Ann girls. Kristen transferred to Hudson Falls Middle School and enjoyed having her mom as her 7th and 8th grade Art teacher.

Kristen’s favorite place on earth was South Welfleet, Cape Cod, where she and her family spent many summer vacations. Kristen was a redhead and of course had that signature personality, some might have called her “bossy”! By taking on the responsibility of social director at the beach every day, Kristen assured that she and her parents were always socially connected with fun and interesting people.

The summer before her senior year, 17-year-old Kristen was discovered to have Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. She was treated with great care and ultimate success by Dr. JoAnne Porter of the Children’s Cancer Center at Albany Medical Hospital. Later Kristen was honored to be recognized by Channel 6’s “Melodies of Christmas” at Proctor’s Theater, through which she was highlighted as a young cancer survivor in a video seen on television. After having received chemotherapy and then radiation for over a year and seeing so many other young children fighting their way through the scourge of cancer, Kristen decided her life’s vocation was to be a nurse. She became a CNA, then furthered her education to become an LPN. She worked at several nursing home facilities, her favorite was Teresian House where she found the love of caring for the elderly was most satisfying and rewarding and would be her life-long commitment. While living in Albany, Kristen found time to become a foster parent for many abandoned and rescued cats while raising her beautiful daughter Marley, but when twins Ahayla and Arion (both their initials “ART” in honor of her mother) came along it was time to return to the North country to be near her parents.

Marley, Ahayla and Arion were lovers of all things Minnie and Mickey, and Kristen made sure that she was able to take her children on the vacation of a lifetime at Disneyland in Florida.

Kristen then was employed by Fort Hudson Health Care Facility while she and her children lived in Hudson Falls. Tragically, during this last employment Kristen was diagnosed with breast cancer. She fought bravely for 3 years with the relentless investigation for the newest and most effective help and treatment by Dr. Christopher Mason at the Glens Falls Cancer Center. Kristen’s family gratefully acknowledges his unyielding devotion to his patients as one of the finest Oncologists to be found anywhere.

Because of the current healthcare crisis caused by the Coronavirus, Kristen and her 3 children lived with her parents for her last 3 weeks. High Peaks Hospice health care professionals Maura and Debbie cared for Kristen with great love and tenderness during her final days, and thankfully, Kristen was able to leave her earthly home, peacefully, with a little smile, and her Mom and Dad at her bedside.

Kristen is survived by her parents, Maureen and Robin Temple, her daughter Marley Olivia MacPherson, her twins Ahayla and Arion Temple, niece Alexis Temple, and sister Lauren Temple.

Also, her extended birth family- mother Judy LaMott, grandmother, special sister Jennifer Burnett, and two other sisters and a brother.

Warmer weather will come to help us celebrate the life of Kristen. Until such time that we all can gather to share stories and hugs, we will think of this brave young woman who gave life her best shot! Stay tuned for that date to be announced.

Donations to ‘gofundme.com for Kristen Temple’ to help her children in their transition to their new life, or ‘highpeakshospice.org’ are greatly appreciated.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the Carleton Funeral Home, Inc., 68 Main Street in Hudson Falls.
