Anne J. Kinney - December 06, 1931 - February 13, 2024

Departed: 02/13/2024 (Camden)

Obituary Preview: Anne J. Kinney, 92, passed away on February 13, 2024 after a brief illness. Born in Rome, NY to Raffaele “Ralph” and Martha Walters Calvani, she attended school at St. Aloysius Academy. Anne told many stories of her childhood growing up in East Rome, the child of an Italian immigrant during the Great Depression. In a community of families like her own, many with few means, she recalled how neighbors helped one another in any way they could. They were hard times, but they were kind times as well. Her selflessness and compassion were born of those experiences.

Anne married Edmund Crowe in Pennsylvania, and they had three children, Edmund, Karen, and Lori Crowe. After they divorced, Anne moved back to Rome and then Camden, where she made a home with her children. She was a devoted mother throughout her life. Anne remarried in 1965 to Kenneth Kinney, a union that lasted until his passing in 2022. Anne worked several jobs in her life, but the most fulfilling was driving bus for Camden Central Schools. Anne truly cared for the children she drove for and spoke of them fondly. Even after her memory failed her, she never forgot “her kids.” Anne always said “Children and animals, they can’t take care of themselves, so we must,” and so her deeply caring nature extended to animals and stray cats in her neighborhood. Late in life, two such strays, Buddy and Sparky, became pets and companions. Anne always had a great love of reading; so much so, it was hard to keep her in new material!

Surviving are her children, Edmund (Patricia) Crowe of Parish, Karen Leuenberger of Camden, and Lori Crowe (Don Walda) of Camden; stepchildren, Kenneth Williams of North Carolina, Gary Williams of North Carolina, and Patricia Williams of Canastota; her grandchildren, Chone Young, Edward Crowe, Bryce Kent, Jessie Kent, Erin Leuenberger Donhauser and Jonathon Matwijec-Walda; 13 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great-granddaughter.

She was predeceased by husband Kenneth Kinney, grandchildren Corri and Michael Tucker, great-grandchildren Brandon and Mary Howard, sisters Susan Mahl and Norma Fletcher, and brother Joseph Calvani.

Our family would like to express our gratitude to Bethany Gardens Skilled Living Center. Thank you for all the loving care she received there, and the friendships formed. You gave her a new home where she was happy and loved.

At her request, there will be no calling hours. Arrangements have been entrusted to Nunn and Harper Funeral Home, Inc., 9464 State Rt. 13, Camden NY 13316. You may read the obituary and send a message of sympathy at www.nunnandharper.com.

Jay J. T. Posner - August 05, 1943 - May 14, 2023

Departed: 05/14/2023 (Camden)

Obituary Preview: My beloved dad and my mother's adoring husband has left this Earth. Jay, who his family affectionately called "The Poz", was called home by the Lord on May 14th. He was born in Peekskill, NY and was an only child. He lived in Peekskill for the majority of his life. He married the girl of his dreams, Kathleen (Kathie) Mooney on July 10, 1966. He once said that he loved her as soon as he saw her. They spent 10 years enjoying their life together before their only daughter, Corinne (Corie), joined the picture. As a creature of habit, Jay lived and raised his family in the home in which he, himself grew up in. He and his wife formally moved to Camden in 2005 to join their daughter and he couldn't have been happier. He found the sense of community that he seemed to always be looking for. Jay was a true "people person", kind and gregarious, he made the rounds and created special relationships with anyone he crossed paths with. People were drawn to Jay. He seemed intimidating due to his size and stature, but he was really a gentle, quirky soul at heart. Jay always made a point of learning people's names and interests and hardly ever forgot them. He was a good judge of character, which was why he never really liked Corinne's ex-husband.

Although he was usually a steady guy, he was also surprisingly spontaneous and had a flare for the dramatic at times. He knew all the words to the really fast song in the "Pirates of Penzance" and acted in local community theater when he was younger. You could tell he was up to something when he had an impish glint in his bright blue eyes. He once bought a car when he went out to grab a toothbrush and years later purchased another car as soon as his wife left town to visit family. He knew she'd be upset, but he loved the fact that the window tint was pretty darn close to illegal. It made him feel young again. He also learned to ski and was deep sea diving certified-two things no one even knew he was interested in until he randomly made them a reality.

Jay was always the tallest person in the room, and perhaps also the most talented. Although very humble, he was creatively driven and technically minded and was always (always!) learning. He graduated from Peekskill High School and later went to Germain School of Photography in NYC. He picked knowledge up wherever he could find it and was able to speak with certainty about nearly any subject. If someone didn't understand something, his favorite saying was "Here! Let me draw it for you!". As an artist, he drew all the time, but most of his drawings were technical diagrams on napkins or detailed maps to places on the backs of envelopes. He did leave behind five huge topographically accurate globes that he helped create for Rand McNally, when he worked there. We only know where three of them are....the other two are a mystery. You can visit them at The Museum of Natural History, The Smithsonian or Annapolis. He was alright when tiny plastic animals were eventually glued to one of the globes...he enjoyed knowing that they are still on display.

Jay and his wife were a match made in heaven. They were marred for almost 57 years. If she could dream it, he could do it. They were a creative force and enjoyed planning many projects together (some never were fully finished, but it was the thought and the fun that counted!) They planned road rallies, elaborate Christmas displays and Halloween costumes for their daughter that at times she could neither breathe, nor walk in.....but it was all very adventurous! He always wanted to make sure that his "girls" felt loved, and he bought them flowers whenever he could. He bought Kathie the same three Christmas presents for the last twenty years and after a while, we didn't quite understand it....but now we have that silly memory forever.

Jay worked several jobs throughout the years and even spent some time in the U.S. Navy, leaving with an Honorable Discharge. His last job was with Verizon and when he retired, he hooked up with a small group of other local retired utility workers who he fondly referred to as "The Retired Old Men Eating Out" or "The Romeos" for short. He enjoyed sharing stories with them over a cup of coffee or a big breakfast....mostly big breakfasts, though.

Jay was a "foodie" at heart. He loved Kathie's cooking the most and would often extol the virtues of her meatloaf. He never met a potato that he didn't like and when he was at the hospital earlier this year, he worked tirelessly to get just one baked potato before he was discharged. He was in a long-time pursuit of the most perfect crab cake (which needed to have the golden ratio of crumb to crab) and eventually, he found that. He wished he had tried hummus, but we agree that he really wasn't missing anything. His Yelp reviews will live on.

Jay loved the Lord with every fiber of his soul. He grew up in the Episcopal Church and later became a member of the Peekskill Presbyterian Church, where he served as both a Deacon and an Elder. When he moved to Camden, he found peace and comfort within the Methodist Church congregation and as his mobility failed, he watched services at the Abundant Life Church in Camden virtually and always enjoyed Pastor Brian's sermons.

Jay was a Freemason and was a member of the Philanthropic Lodge in Camden as well as a Lodge in Cortlandt, NY. We don't know much about that...it was a well-kept secret between he and his brothers.

As his daughter, while writing his obituary, there are so many things that go through my mind. My father said that I was his greatest accomplishments and I truly hope that I will always make him proud. He was my ally, my warrior and my forever friend. He and I shared the common bond of being only children and he never missed an opportunity to spend time with me or keep me company. As a child, he played Barbies and built me a treehouse. He read me an incredible amount of books at bedtime, including all 78 Nancy Drew Mystery novels, while acting out each character's part in lavish detail. He watched countless plays and concerts and encouraged me wholeheartedly in anything I did. As I got older, he took me to see my most favorite work of art and we enjoyed going for sushi....he would say that the Rock Shrimp appetizer was his most favorite. My father showed his unconditional love for both my mother and I in so many ways. He will be missed.

Jay is predeceased by his mother, Priscilla Posner and his father and stepmother, James and Ruth Posner as well as many family pets that he lovingly cared for throughout his life. We hope he finds Gabby, his most recently departed French Bulldog, in heaven and that they ride his John Deere lawn mower with reckless abandon while listening to "Car Talk" or "Bob and Ray" together.

Jay leaves behind us, his small but devoted family, to carry on the Posner traditions as best we can. He leaves his cousins, Donnie (Cindy) Risi, Billy (Gale) Ennis and Arvi Ennis (Bill) Glen with fond memories of their times with him and he leaves behind many, many friends.

We would like to thank everyone who spent time with Jay during this difficult time, whether it was a family friend, EMS worker, nurse, or CNA. He was always grateful to them.

Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, May 24th at 6:00 p.m. at Nunn and Harper Funeral Home, Inc., 9464 State Rt. 13, Camden NY 13316. Family and friends are invited to call at the funeral home prior to the service from 4-6:00 p.m.

Departed: 01/01/2023 (Camden)

Obituary Preview: Gerald “Jerry” F. Smith Jr, 84 of Taberg, NY passed away peacefully on January 1, 2023, in the company of his children. Jerry was born in Erie, Pennsylvania on November 7th,1938 to the late Gerald F and Linna (Hahn) Smith.

Jerry graduated from Rome Free Academy in 1956, where he was very active. He played football, ran track and even won the Section III Bowling championship in 1956. After graduation Jerry worked many places including Rome Cable, Pettibone, NY Wire Company, and served in the United States Army. Ultimately, with an Honorable Discharge, Jerry worked as a civilian in communications for the Air Force’s 485th Engineering Installation Group at Griffiss Air Force Base, for 30 years, until his retirement in 1994.

Jerry was a proud American and veteran. He was active in the community, as a member for close to 55 years Jerry was twice commander of Taberg Legion Post 1309, member of the Annsville Civil Defense, Taberg Fire Department, Rome Elks Club, and the Little Mountain Club near Old Forge.

Jerry had many interests. One of his favorites included horse racing.

Jerry also enjoyed watching Ice hockey, the NY Yankees, the NY Giants, and Syracuse University football and basketball.

Pat was a baker and loved nothing more than to sit around the kitchen table at Christmas time, decorating cookies with the grandkids, or as she would call them, her babies, or treating them to one of her special birthday cakes. Countless quilts went out the door over the years, made with love and freely given to keep one warm on a cold winters night.
