Then select the Find All Words option.  You'll also find obituary and other newspaper clippings using Clippings partition. Additional clippings can be found in the Birth, Marriage, and some other partitions.

Reading a series of obituaries from a single cemetery, as they are presented here, is like reading the multi-generational history of a community. These people were the local populace at a particular time. The people buried here knew each other, were neighbors, relatives and school mates. They attended church together and engaged in "trade" or business.  All people are listed in alphabetic order by surname at BIRTH. Women identified by a married alias only and  for whom a birth surname can not be identified, are listed on the last page for the cemetery's obituaries. Please send in typed obituaries for people buried in our local cemeteries. If possible include name of newspaper and date. Send typed in your email or in attached Word files. Send to Joyce M.

"Al" Ault were Valley residents for nearly 40 years, before moving to the Washington, D.C. area in 1965. Al was a former reporter for the Sayre Evening Times, covering Waverly news. Ada was born Jan. 3, 1925, in Tunkhannock, Pa., to the late Clark Oliver and Hilda Dix Oliver Casselbury.   After a few years in the Tunkhannock area, the family moved to Athens. Ada graduated from Athens High School in 1943. On July 23, 1945, Ada married Alfred Ault, son of Tracey and Bessie Ault of Sayre. After Al's military service, they settled in Waverly, New York. Their son, Thomas Alfred Ault (Tom), was born February 14, 1946. Ada and her family spent many wonderful years in the Valley with their extended family and friends. They moved from the area in 1965 when Al, who was working for International Business Machines (IBM), was transferred to its facility in Gaithersburg, Md.  During World War II, Ada worked for the local Rations Board and afterwards dedicated herself to being a fulltime homemaker. Her family and friends were the love of her life.  Besides being a devoted mother and wife, Ada was interested in all people. She was always quick to strike up a conversation or to lend a helping hand. Her mother, Hilda, lived with Ada and her family from 1966 until her death in 1989, at the age of 101, and there is little doubt that Ada's loving care contributed to her mother's long and happy life.

CHANDLER -JEAN ANN BABCOCK, 84, a longtime resident of Athens and Sayre, passed away on Nov. 25, 2020 in Bellefonte, PA with her loving daughter at her side. Although she was in Bellefonte for the past few years, in her heart she never left Sayre and shared stories about her town with everyone she met. Jean fought a brave battle with Alzheimer’s disease the past few years, and has now found peace of body, mind and spirit. Jean graduated from Sayre High School in 1954. She was proud of her Alma Mater and proud to have been a Sayre Redskin Majorette her senior year. The class of 1954 remained active with a reunion every 5 years, and for as long as she could she continued to be a member of the Class of ’54 reunion committee. All who knew Jean would agree that she was a hard worker and had a great talent and love for crafting. She was also well known for her homemade candy. Both of which she enjoyed giving away as much as she did making them. She had a generous and caring sprit, a bit of a devilish streak and there was always room at her table for one more person. She loved to dance, and even as her Alzheimer’s advanced, music would continue to reach her. Jean was a lifelong member of the Church of the Redeemer in Sayre. She was a member of their Saint Mary’s Guild. She worked at the annual Bazaar, often serving as chairperson or co-chair. Year round she could be found making crafts to be sold at the Church Bazaar and she hosted many candy making work bees. She taught Sunday school for many years and supported them in any way that she could until her health began to fail. Jean worked much of her career in the healthcare field. Before her marriage, she worked for Optometrist Dr. Alan Diamon. She left the workforce to devote her time to her family and to raising her daughter. She was a Class Mother and did not miss a class trip, a school play, a band concert, a football halftime show, chorus concert or a softball game. She became “Mom B.” or “Mrs. B” to many kids along the way. After raising her daughter, Jean went to work in Internal Medicine at the Guthrie Clinic as a Physician’s Aide. She enjoyed that job and the interaction with the doctors, the patients and their families. Jean was predeceased by her beloved mother, Florence Chandler; grandparents, Howard (Rube) and Bertha Ritz; father, Ralph Chandler; former husband, Dave Babcock; special cousin, Francis (Oscar) Bostwick and numerous other friends and family. Jean is survived by her loving daughter Denise, son-in-law Wayne Macafee (who she made certain everyone knew she “loved like a son”) of Bellefonte, PA; her brother, Jerry Chandler and Debra Titus of Sayre; a number of treasured friends, special cousins, and numerous nieces and nephews. On Saturday, Dec. 5, 2020, at 1 p.m. an Episcopal Committal service led by Pastor Melinda Artman will be held graveside at the Tioga Point Cemetery. Because of the pandemic all funeral activities will be held outside. For those wishing to say their goodbyes to Jean, you may do so at graveside prior to the Committal service from 11:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. The family requests that all attending wear masks and practice social distancing, and they respectfully understand there are many who should not/cannot attend. Please know that there are plans to schedule a Memorial Service and Celebration of Life at a later time when is it safer to do so. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in Jean’s name to the Stained Glass restoration project at the Church of the Redeemer, 201 S. Wilbur Ave, Sayre (We will pick a window/windows near “Jean’s pew”.): the Alzheimer’s Association: a personal care home or a charity of your choice. Final arrangements are entrusted to the care of the Alteri-Bowen Funeral Home, Sayre, with assistance from Wetzler Funeral Home, Bellefonte, PA. -Towanda Daily Review 11/29/2020
