MCCHESNEY –SHIRLEY LEVANDUSKI AGNELLO NEE: MCCHESNEY died on Sunday, July 17, 2016 in Elmira, N.Y. from complications of surgery after a brief illness. She would have been 98 on Aug. 17th. Shirley was born in the Town of Providence, N.Y. in 1918 to Clarence and Leila (Matteson) McChesney and raised in Galway, N.Y. She was predeceased by her first husband, Theodore (Ted) Levanduski of Elmira, N.Y. in 1983 and her second husband, Charles Agnello of Amherst, N.Y. in 1997 as well as her parents and brothers, C. Duane (Mary Jane) McChesney and Richard (Mary) McChesney, all of Galway. Shirley is survived by her three sons, Thomas Levanduski and his spouse Jim Reed of Guilderland, N.Y., Gregory Levanduski and his wife Rebecca of Needham, Mass. and Ronald Levanduski of Elmira; her step-mother Shirley McChesney of Galway, stepsister Jackie and her husband Doug Bombard of Cornelius, N.C., half-brothers David McChesney and his wife Glenda of Wells, Maine and Robert McChesney of Galway; also stepdaughters Marilyn (Agnello) and her husband Robert Sullivan of Aiken, S.C. and Linda Agnello of Orlando, Fla. along with several nieces, nephews and cousins. Shirley graduated from Galway High School and received a B.S. degree in Music from Ithaca College in 1941 where she was a member of the Delta Phi Zeta Sorority. She majored in piano which she played throughout her life, mostly on her 1930's Chickering "Baby Grand", to the delight of friends and family. During the past 10 years, where she was legally blinded from effects of macular degeneration, she continued to play favorites she remembered on her spinet. Shirley married her first husband on April 27, 1943 shortly before he deployed to Brazil where he was stationed as a Master Sergeant at Army headquarters in Recife during World War II. Shirley worked first at American Locomotive and later at General Electric in Schenectady as a bookkeeper during the war. She enjoyed keeping in touch and writing to her many friends, including her General Electric boss, Muriel Bennison of Gulfport, Miss. and worker friend Lucille McGowan of Mesa, Ari. Shirley moved to Elmira with her first husband in 1946 were they were flooded from their apartment on the corner of Walnut and Water Streets four months later in May. They then moved to 1008 Johnson St. where she and Ted raised their children and spent summers at their cottage on Waneta Lake up to 1968. Shirley began a 16-year career as an elementary school teacher in the Catholic school system where she taught third and fifth grades beginning at St. Mary Our Mother in Horseheads in 1964. She also taught at St. Anthony's, Sts. Peter and Paul's and St. Casimir's, all in Elmira before retiring in 1980. During retirement, Shirley spent 36 years as a "snowbird", with the last 32 winters at her condo in New Port Richey, Fla. She enjoyed her time at "The Wilds" community and despite declining health flew there this past winter. After the death of her first husband, Shirley met and married Charles Agnello and lived in Amherst until 2000. She spent her last 16 years living with her son, Ronnie, at his Church St. home while wintering in Florida. Shirley was an avid driver and golfer and loved the families pet cats and chihuahuas (both Chicos), but most of all she enjoyed socializing with family and friends. She also treasured her cars, beginning with a 1936 Desoto Airflow her father gave her for college, a 1969 Mustang Mach 1 and later Honda Accord's. Her only traffic ticket came at age 83 where she was ironically caught speeding at 83 mph on Route 17. Shirley was strong willed and at times feisty and will be remembered for saying what was on her mind. Shirley always remembered her best college friend and roommate, Frances Williams, who died after a brief illness at Ithaca College in 1941. She also developed a life-long love of dancing during college where she kept records of her dance partners in memento books for the sophomore soiree, junior prom and senior ball. Shirley cherished her friends, including special ones Jeannette (Hyde) and Art Martinson, Dan and Loretta Savino, Joe and Helen Congdon, Hank and Rosemary Mangels, Irene Churchman, Joe and Jean Lintz, Rita Loomis, Paul and Jane Winters, Mary Mitchell, Ed and Betty Hutchison, Bill and Eleanor (Flossie) Knott, Ed and Mary MacKowiak, Leo and Helen Agnello, Genevieve Reibson, Bill Hurley and Nancy and Ron Kingsley. She was also very close to her beloved aunts Ethel and Rose. Shirley suffered from short-term memory loss over the past year or so but she remained a repository of knowledge of family members and could always share old stories of her friends and relatives. We would like to thank the help and company in her later years from her Florida friends Frances Smith, Audrey O'Neil and Ruth Herriman. We would also like to thank her home aide in Florida over the past couple of years, Marie Shultz, and also this past winter, Betty Warren, both of New Port Richey and in Elmira, Marge Redfield.
