with a huge heart, someone who would do anything for anyone. Born on July

then spent many years as a seamstress at the Athens Dress Factory and Evan

because she could see her two oldest grandchildren daily. Unfortunately, she
retired before the others were old enough to come through her line. Patty’s

great-grandchildren. She and her husband of 52 years, Enie, started a family
soon after they were married on November 5th, 1966. They worked hard and
raised their children Amanda and Scott with the right values and priorities.
They started camping when their kids were young and regularly went with
Grandpa and Grandma Alexander, Janie and Joe Searfoss, Glenn and Linda
Vanderpool, and their families. They also spent many fun times with sister
Linda and her husband Ray (Ellis) through the years. Patty was also a
regular figure at many Athens school and sporting events, following her
children and grandchildren. She never missed anything they were doing. In
her later years Patty loved to go to Bingo, sometimes three times a week.
She also enjoyed going to numerous casinos, especially overnight trips with
brother and sister-in-law Glenn and Linda Vanderpool. She is predeceased by
her loving husband of 52 years, Enie; her parents Robert Alexander and
Amanda Wayman; siblings Robert Alexander Jr., Dorothy King, and Gertrude
Wayman: father and mother-in-law Dwight and Florence Vanderpool;

ALLEN –LISA
HAWKEN - "It is with a heavy heart that we look back on the life of our
colleague, our leader, and our dear friend, Lisa Hawken. To say that Lisa
Hawken was... the High School Principal would be a vast understatement to
what she truly was to the school, the community, and the district. One staff
member summed it up when she asked, How will we go on? Lisa was this
school." Lisa grew up in Athens, Pennsylvania and graduated from Athens High
School in 1993, where she was an outstanding scholar and athlete. While in
high school, Lisa was awarded the prestigious Valley Principals' Award for
excelling in academics and athletics. This award goes to one outstanding
female for all the school districts in the Valley area. She attended
Bucknell University as an undergraduate and earned a Bachelor of Science in
Elementary Education. Before graduating in 1997, Lisa received numerous
honors at Bucknell for her academic successes as well as her performance on
the Women's Track and Field Team including the Patriot League Scholar
Athlete of the Year for indoor and outdoor track and field in 1996 and 1997
respectively. She was captain of her indoor and outdoor track teams for the
1996-97 season and received the Bison Club Senior Athletic Award which is
given to a senior who exemplifies the winning spirit of Bucknell' s athletic
program. In 2000, Lisa received a Master of Science Degree in Educational
Administration as well as her Certificate of Advanced Studies in Educational
Administration. She began her career as a 2nd and 3rd grade classroom
teacher at the Bath-Haverling Elementary School in May of 1997. At Bath,
Lisa coached varsity track and field and modified basketball. In August of
2001, she was appointed Elementary Assistant Principal at Campbell-Savona
Elementary School. In the summer of 2006, Lisa took over as the principal of
the Campbell-Savona Junior-Senior High School, a title that she held until
her untimely passing on December 29th, 2015. Lisa was the loving mother of
daughters, Lydia and Maggie Hawken, and the wife of Bath police officer,
Steve Hawken. She was a devoted and involved mother who was a constant
presence in the lives of her children. If she wasn't coaching her daughters
on the field, she was cheering avidly from the stands. To the rest of her
family, Lisa was a loving daughter and sister who brought joy to her family
every day. She especially loved holiday traditions. She loved the beach
where she would sit by the water from sunup to sundown. Lisa was also known
for her coupon shopping, especially at Kohl's and Lane Bryant's or at any
location where a coupon could be used. Taking after her mother, Lisa was an
avid reader. As a professional, Lisa was instrumental and inspirational in
creating and nurturing a community at Campbell-Savona that went beyond that
of a public high school. She was a principal for the students and a
supervisor to the staff, but her job always extended well-beyond the walls
of the school. She was an enthusiastic supporter and genuine fan of the arts
and sports at Campbell-Savona. To the staff and students, she was a
counselor, an advocate, and a friend. Ask anyone in the school, and they
will tell you that she was a great principal, but it was how she cared for
the school, the community, and the people that will be her true legacy. She
is predeceased by her maternal grandparents Paul and Alice Bustin, paternal
grandparents William and Marge Allen, maternal aunt Ann Maynard, paternal
aunt Phyllis Odi, paternal uncles Larry Ammerman & Jerry Allen, and cousins
Christopher Watkins, Sharon Fuller, and Lloyd Sullivan. Lisa is survived by
her beloved husband of 18 years Stephen Hawken at home, her cherished
daughters Lydia "Bug" and Maggie "Mae" Hawken at home, and loving parents
Michael and Mary Lou Allen of Athens, PA. Lisa is also survived by her
sister and friend Lori Allen Unger & brother in law Gabriel Unger of Athens,
PA, maternal aunts Peggy Young of Troy, PA, maternal uncle and aunt Paul M.
and Sheryl Bustin of Lititz, PA, maternal aunt and uncle Nancy Bustin and
Rick Callear of Towanda, PA, paternal aunt and uncle Mary Lou and Joseph
Hiley of Athens, PA, and Connie and Jack Ball of Burdett, NY. She also
leaves behind her special father and mother-in-law Danny and Georgia Hawken
of Elmira, NY, and brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law Danny, Jr. and Angela
Hawken of Horseheads, NY, and Joshua and Alisha Hawken of Holly Springs, NC,
several nieces, nephews, cousins, and her loyal friend from childhood Stacey
Sickler of Athens, PA. She will be missed by all those who knew and loved
her. Friends and family may call on Sunday, January 3, 2016 from 11am to 2pm
at the Athens Area High School Auditorium, 401 West Frederick Street,
Athens, PA. Funeral Services will follow at the school at 2PM with the Rev.

The death of Martha Jane, wife of Mr. Job Griffin, which occurred at her
home a short distance from Green's Landing last Friday evening (Aug. 15,
1902) brought genuine sorrow to very many hearts throughout this entire
region where she was widely known. To many it came as a sad surprise, for
but few had known of her illness. She had been suffering for some time with
a heart difficulty, but was confined to bed but a few days previous to her
death. So rapidly did disease do its final work that even her family could
hardly realize that the end hand come. Mrs. Griffin was the fourth daughter
of the late Dr. and Mrs. E. P. Allen and was born in East Smithfield in this
county, Sept. 27, 18850. She came to this village with her parents forty
years ago where she spent the remainder of her childhood and her youth. She
was married to Mr. Job Griffin May 27, 1869, since which time her life has
been mostly upon the farm where she died. To Mr. and Mrs. Griffin three
children have been born, Mary, who resides at home, John, who also resides
on the home farm, and Howard J. who died at the age of three and one half
years. Besides her husband and two children she is survived by two sisters,,
Mrs. S. H. Bright of Logan, OH and Mrs. W. O. Thurston of Elmdale, KS and W.
Howard Allen of this village. Mrs. Griffin was one in whom the true
....missing... The funeral was attended from the family home on Monday
afternoon, Aug. 18th. Rev. M. W. Covell of Manchester, NY, a former pastor
of the Baptist Church here,, had charge of the services, and Rev. C. H.
Manning, the present pastor, assisted. Both of them spoke feelingly and in
high appreciation of their departed friend. Rev. W. H. Sawtelle, of the
Presbyterian Church, an acquaintance of the deceased for twenty years, also
took part in the services. Mrs. O. L. Haverly and Miss Jennie Keefe sang
beautifully and feelingly, "Through the Valley and the Shadow," and "My
Jesus,, As Thou Wilt." Undertaker G. W. Miller was in charge and the bearers
were Messrs. Ira R. Morley, Judson J. Morley, Wright FD. Morley, John A.
Morley, S. J. Morley and John G. Ovenshire. The attendance at the services
was very large and probably the largest funeral cortege that ever passed
through Athens accompanied the remains to their resting place in the family

ALFRED L. AULT, 95, of Silver Spring, Md., died peacefully on Dec. 8, 2018 at Necitas Assisted Living home. Mr. Ault was born on Feb. 9, 1923 in Sayre, Pa., the fourth of five sons of Tracey E. Ault, a railroad worker at the Lehigh Valley repair shop, and Bessie Mase Ault, a school teacher and community leader who was the first woman president of the Parent Teacher Association of the State of Pennsylvania. Al was a graduate of Sayre High School and earned degrees in journalism from the University of Maryland and American University. Al met his wife, Ada Jane Oliver (Athens, Pa.), on a double date with his oldest brother and his wife and they were married on July 23, 1945. They settled in Waverly, N.Y., where they raised their son, Thomas Alfred Ault (born in 1946) and spent many wonderful years enjoying their extended family and friends in the area. After nearly 40 years as Valley residents, in 1965 they moved to the Washington, D.C., area. Al and Ada enjoyed 68 years of married life together, celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary at a special party with friends and family at the Bethesda Naval Officers Club in July 1995. They were a devoted couple until Ada's untimely death on Aug. 30, 2013. Mr. Ault served stateside in the Army Air Corps from 1943 to 1946. Following his discharge from the service, he worked for the United States Civil Service Commission for a brief period before joining the Sayre Evening Times as the reporter covering Waverly, N.Y., news. In June 1956, he was hired by International Business Machines as a writer/editor in the information department of the company's Space Guidance Center in Owego, N.Y. In June 1965, Mr. Ault was promoted to senior writer and transferred to Bethesda, Md., followed by a transfer in 1967 to Huntsville, Ala., and finally in 1974 to Gaithersburg, Md. His career with IBM centered around the space program, covering news and managing public relations involving NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, and the Kennedy Space Center (formerly Cape Canaveral) in Florida. He found working with the Apollo missions to the moon, Skylab, and the Space Shuttle program to be an extremely exciting and rewarding part of his career. A highlight was his interactions with astronaut Neil Armstrong. He retired from IBM in January 1989. Al's faith was a cornerstone of his life and of his personality. He was very involved in the work of Waverly Methodist Church; directed the Sunday School in Huntsville's Latham's United Methodist Church; and served in many capacities at the Potomac United Methodist Church in Maryland. He also was active in the Waverly Rotary Club; the Chemung Valley/Waverly Masonic Lodge; and OASIS, a continuing education and volunteer organization for seniors (where he was often the only man in the fitness classes). He is survived by his son, Thomas Ault and his wife Aldene Medbery Ault of Silver Spring; two grandchildren, Kristen Adashi (Timothy Ellis) of Baltimore, Md., and David Ault (Katherine Goodwin Ault) of Easton, Md.; three great-grandchildren, Caroline and James Ault and Samuel Ellis; and several nieces and nephews.
