E. Elizabeth "Betty" Radell, 91, a lifelong Kingston resident, died Monday, May 10, 2021.
She was a daughter of the late Anthony J. and Irene C. VanBuren DeCicco. A Kingston High School graduate, she previously lived on Old Flatbush Road, Town of Ulster. Betty was a dispatch clerk at the Kingston Daily Freeman from 1949 to 1995 and belonged to their 20-Year Club.
Betty was an active parishioner of Holy Cross Santa Cruz Episcopal Church, and former member of the Holy Cross Tuesday Breakfast Club and Bible Study. She and Jane Barnes were the masterminds behind the original Holy Cross Thrift Shop. She was honored at the church for many years of service and devotion to Holy Cross Church in early March of 2020.
Her husband, Eugene J. Radell died December 23, 1983, and her siblings Rose Tyrrell, Mary Bunten and Charles DeCicco all died previously.
Loving mother of Elizabeth J. "B.J." Radell and her husband Ronald Goodman of Ennis, Montana; and Constance R. "Connie" Snyder and her husband Chuck Snyder of Esopus; grandmother of Chace Snyder, Melissa Goodman, Ann Gilbert and Andrew Goodman. Three step great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
Betty was an independent spirit and lived on her own until January of 2021. She was an animal lover, with a fondness for cats and dogs alike. She volunteered, with friends, as a part of the RSVP group on a regular basis up until the pandemic ended volunteer opportunities in 2020, (when she was 90 and still helping out in anyway she could.) She loved to travel and has visited many of the states within the continental US, Alaska and Hawaii, Bermuda, Nassau Bahamas, Budapest, Austria, and Montreal, Canada.
Please send donations in lieu of flowers to the Ulster County SPCA, or the American Heart Association.
