KINGSBURY — Ethel Brennan Mead, 91, of Kingsbury, passed over peacefully at home Thursday, May 30, 2013.
Born Nov, 1, 1921, in the Brennan family home on Dix Avenue in Hudson Falls, she was the daughter of the late Daniel and Irene (Aiken) Brennan.
On New Year's Day, January 1st 1943, she married Alden Mead, and together, they managed the Mead family farm with the help of their two elder sons and their son in later years.
They raised their family on the 125-plus-year-old Mead family homestead. Ethel remained at home, which was made possible with the help of her "boys" and "girls," as she called them, who shared in the responsibilities of managing and maintaining her family homestead during her declining years.
She graduated from Hudson Falls Senior High School, Class of 1942. For many years, Ethel worked at C.R. Bard in Glens Falls until she retired in the 1980s.
Ethel was a 50-plus-year member of Kingsbury/Mohican Grange and Sanford's Ridge Methodist Church.
She was a past participating member of Queensbury and Moreau Senior Centers and was an active member of TOPS for many years.
When she was able, Ethel was a faithful church member, helping with church dinners and bake sales (baking was her forte) for her family and, every year at holiday time, she would make cookies for the men at the lumber mill.
In addition to her parents, her husband, Alden, predeceased her September 23rd 1982; and an infant son, Steven, predeceased her in 1945.
She was also predeceased by her son, Claude Mead, his wife, JoAnn Ross Mead, and their children, Danny, Timothy and Scott in 1975; and by all of her siblings, Ethel being the youngest, Jim and Joe Brennan, Marion Stanouski, Irene Spellburg, Margaret Nichols Minor and Josephine Clark; and a sister-in-law, Helen Mead Howland.
Burial will follow at Pine View Cemetery, Quaker Road, Queensbury.
Arrangements by the Maynard D. Baker Funeral Home on 11 Lafayette Street in Queensbury, N,Y.
