Emelie M. Blondin

HUDSON FALLS – Emelie M. Blondin, 80, of Warren Street, passed away peacefully on December 31, 2019, at Albany Medical Center.

Born on February 22, 1939 in Hudson Falls and a lifelong resident, she was the daughter of the late Cleophus and Nellie (Holcomb) Duval. 

Emelie was a proud graduate of St. Anne’s High School in Albany.

For almost 20 years, she was a seamstress at J&J Lingerie in Glens Falls.

Emelie loved being a fulltime mom.  Her children were blessed that many days they came home from school to the smell of fresh baked goods.   She was known for making the best perogies.  Emelie enjoyed knitting and making afghans for her family.  When she wasn’t creating beautiful blankets, Emelie worked on crossword puzzles.  She also had a passion for reading, having filled her home with hundreds of books.

Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her husband, Robert B. Blondin and her siblings, Nellie, Melina, Armand, Clifford, Ray, George and Andre.

Survivors include her children, Bernard Blondin of South Glens Falls, Theresa Murphy of Queensbury, Robert Blondin of Hudson Falls, Emily Butler and her husband, Dale of Hudson Falls and Brian Blondin and his wife, Lynn of Hudson Falls; her grandchildren, Shaun Murphy and his husband, Clifford of PA, Kerri Leddick and her husband, Michael of NC, Jay Butler and his wife, Sierra of Hudson Falls, Matthew Butler of Glens Falls and MacKenzie Blondin of NYC; two great grandchildren; her brother, Pierre Duval and his wife, Pauline, of Hartford; and several nieces, nephews and cousins.

At Emelie’s request, there will be no calling hours.

Burial will be in the spring at St. Mary’s Cemetery in the town of Fort Edward.

The family suggests the memorial donations in Emelie’s name be made to the charity of one’s choice.
