Eva-Camille "Suzan" Stapleford
Suzan Stapleford, wife of James Stapleford, passed on November 5th, 2012, after falling down the stairs in their home in Shokan. She was well known in the community, having worked many years for Juliano's service station on Route 28 before it was acquired by Citgo.
Eva Camille Tribble was born on the 6th of November 1938 in Portland, Oregon, the only child of Cambell Edgar and Mildred Evangeline (Quint) Tribble. Her mother died only a couple of months afterwards, and the daughter was nicknamed "Suzy" by the family. Suzy was raised by her paternal grandparents in Forest Grove, OR. Her father died when she was just fifteen. She met Gordon Paul Roundy while attending High School in California, they were wed in 1956, and three children were born to them: Alicia Ann, Donald Paul and Michael John.
Sue and Gordon separated and she married Arthur Lloyd Hendrickson in 1963. They lived near his family in Everett, WA, where two more siblings were added to the family, David Joe and Alinia Lynn Hendrickson. However, this union was short-lived, and Sue returned to Portland in 1968 to start afresh. She returned to college, received an associates degree in mechanical drafting, and entered the workforce to support her family.
In 1974 she met James Stapleford and they married in 1975. Together they adopted another daughter, Gayle Marie Funkley, born in 1961. Despite this patchwork family, together they raised seven teenagers, and lived to tell about it.
Suzan had an indomitable spirit and was a two-time cancer survivor -- first in 1972, then in 2006.
A woman with unquenchable curiosity, she loved books, history, antiques, art, music, cooking and nature. Her favorite hobby was spinning, and she belonged to both the Elmendorph and the Ulster County Handspinners Guilds. With their business, "Spinster & Smythe", Sue was often found at outdoor venues, such as the Dutchess County fair, demonstrating (in full period costume) different types of spinning wheels.
Suzan is survived by her five children, step-daughter, adopted daughter, 9 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren.
