OBITUARIES
CHAFFEE Philip Thomas
Age 88, passed away at St. Joseph's Hospital in Elmira, NY on November
27, 2009. Phil was born on August 29, 1921 in Van Etten, NY to L.R. Chaffee
and Bernice Shappee. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather,
retired Marine, and was loved and respected by all who knew him. Myra,
his wife of 57 years, and their son, David, predeceased Phil. He is survived
by Steven (Michelle) Chaffee of Van Etten, NY, Carolyn Hodges Chaffee,
and Sue Chaffee of Spencer, NY; grandchildren, Christina (Lawrence) Pierce,
David (Lindsey) Chaffee, Mike Chaffee, Lauren (C.J.) Downes and Brian Hodges,
and Philip Van De Voorde; great-grandchildren, Lawrence, Mary, Joseph,
and Christopher Pierce and Jackson Chaffee; and brother, Donald (Janice)
Chaffee and nieces and nephews. Upon graduating Cornell University in 1942,
Phil enlisted in the US Marine Corp. During WWII, he landed with the 2nd
Bat. 8th Marines on Red Beach III and fought in the Battle at Tarawa. He
was a recipient of the Silver Star Medal from World War II and received
this most prestigious military honor awarded by the United States of America
for his actions in Saipan on June 15, 1944. Phil was also the recipient
of two Presidential Unit Citations and three Battle Stars. In 1945 he received
orders to go home and was later promoted to Major while a member of Reserve
Unit in Elmira, NY. In 1950, he and his wife Myra purchased the family
farm where Phil eventually operated a large-scale poultry business until
he retired at the age of 78. Over the years, Phil was a member of the Van
Etten Spencer VFW Post 8139, the Van Etten Methodist Church, the F&A

a member of national fraternity Tau Kappa Epsilon. Calling hours will be

WEST - CHAFFEE, Myra West
Of Van Etten, NY, went to be with the Lord on Saturday, November 24,
2007. She leaves behind her devoted companion and best friend, Philip T.
Chaffee, her loving husband of 57 years. Born on June 21, 1928, she was
the daughter of Guy West and Beatrice West Walker of Lockwood, NY. Myra
was predeceased by her son, David, her "heavenly angel." She is survived
by Steven (Michelle) Chaffee of Van Etten, NY, Carolyn Hodges, and Sue
Chaffee of Spencer, NY; grandchildren, Christina (Lawrence) Pierce, David
(Lindsey) Chaffee, Mike Chaffee, Lauren and Brian Hodges, and Philip Van
De Voorde; and great-grandchildren, Lawrence, Mary, and Joseph Pierce.
They will all miss their loving "Nana." She was very dear to all of them.
In 1945, Myra graduated from Van Etten High School and began working at
the Blue Swan as a "conveyor girl." She then attended flight attendant
school and as a young woman moved to New York City to work for Pan American
Airlines. She returned to the area and married Phil in 1950. Over the years,
Myra was an active member in the Van Etten Methodist Church, the Van Etten
Spencer VFW, and was a lifetime member of the Eastern Stars. She was also
a member of Farm Bureau, Kitchen Conference, and was a 4-H Leader. A devoted
wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, neighbor and good friend,
Myra will be remembered for her love of singing, baking pies for her husband,
chocolate chip cookies for her grandkids, taking morning walks, volunteering
in the community, her positive attitude and unresounding faith. Calling
hours will be held Sunday, November 25, 2007, at the Van Etten Methodist
Church from 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. Funeral services will be held on Monday, November
