Anne Marie Salmiery, of Saratoga Springs, New York, passed away on August 26, 2026, at the age of 85. She leaves behind a lifetime of memories and a family who loved her beyond measure.

Born on October 15, 1940, Anne was a truly remarkable woman who will be remembered for so many wonderful things. She was incredibly intelligent, witty, fun-loving, caring, and full of life. Anne had a quick mind and a wonderful sense of humor, and her feisty personality was simply unforgettable. She had a way of bringing laughter and life wherever she went.

Anne was a woman of strong Catholic faith, which was an important part of her life and helped shape the loving and caring woman so many people knew and loved.

Beautiful both inside and out, Anne possessed a warmth and kindness that drew people to her. She was deeply loved not only by her family but also by the many wonderful friends whose lives she touched throughout the years. Her friendships meant so much to her, and she leaves behind many loving friends who will forever cherish the memories, laughter, and special moments they shared with her.

Anne found joy in the things she loved most. She enjoyed sewing and was always happy to settle in with a good book. She had a true love of reading and could never resist getting lost in a wonderful story.

Above all, Anne's greatest love was her family. She was a devoted and loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Her grandchildren meant the world to her, and she loved each of them deeply. The time, laughter, love, and memories they shared with their grandmother will forever remain in their hearts.

Anne is survived by her beloved children, Bernadette Grace Salmiery and her partner, Jason; Vincent Mark Salmiery and his wife, Donna; Mary Theresa Salmiery; and Stephen James Salmiery and his wife, Paula. She is also survived by her loving siblings, Andrew McCormack, Francis McCormack, Grace McCormack, and Agnes Sweeney-Cyran.

She was the cherished grandmother of Chastity Bogan, Krystal Platner, Elisabeth Pratt, Thomas Willis, Michelle Willis, Jessica Dawson, Brett Salmiery, Christopher Willis, Bradley Salmiery, Ashley Minghini, and Markus Salmiery, and the proud great-grandmother of 23 beloved great-grandchildren.

She was predeceased by her beloved grandson, Stephen James Salmiery Jr., and great-grandson Cayden Blake Platner, whose memories she carried closely in her heart.

Anne's life was a beautiful reminder of the importance of faith, family, laughter, love, and making every moment count, with a whole lot of feistiness. She will be remembered for her intelligence, her quick wit, her beautiful heart, and the incredible love she gave so freely to those around her.

Family and friends are invited to gather to celebrate Anne's life on Saturday, August 29, 2026, with calling hours from 10am-12noon at William J. Burke & Sons Funeral Home, 628 North Broadway, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866. A funeral home service will begin at noon immediately followed by burial at Maplewood Cemetery in Corinth, New York.

Though Anne may no longer be with us, the love she gave, the laughter she created, and the memories she leaves behind will live on forever in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know and love her.

She was beautiful inside and out, deeply loved, and will be missed beyond words.

Ballston Spa, NY - Mark C.A. Ventra passed away on July 28th, 2026, in his home surrounded by family.

Mark was born in Syracuse, New York on January 1, 1961, to Anthony and Patricia Ventra where he grew up among his tight-knit extended family. He moved to Saratoga to attend Skidmore college where he met his wife, Gabrielle, and they settled locally after both had graduated.

At Skidmore College he attained a Bachelor’s in Business and was later inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame with his 1983 Lacrosse team. His passion for lacrosse never faded: he served as assistant head coach of the Blue Streaks lacrosse team at Saratoga Springs High School well into his retirement, leaving a profound impact on the boys he helped nurture into team players and leaders.

Mark’s enthusiasm, passion, and tenacity made ripples everywhere he went, leaving lasting impressions on those around him. He didn’t let his first battle with leukemia defeat him; instead, he went on to become a Livestrong coach at the YMCA, inspiring others to follow his example and keep fighting. Even in the throes of his later struggle with pancreatic cancer, he still came through for the players on his lacrosse team, inspiring them with the indomitable spirit that defined him.

When he wasn’t coaching, fishing, or digging deep into his latest hobby, Mark could always be found in the kitchen, and he was well-known for his elaborate and delicious meals, cookouts, and secret recipes. His love of music meant the house was always loud and lively.

Mark is survived by his wife Gabrielle, three children Nicholas, Jonathan, and Olivia, sister (Sandra), and mother (Patricia), as well as many loving cousins, relatives and his beloved lab, Ginny. He is predeceased by his father, Anthony.

Relatives and friends are invited to call on Sunday, August 2, 2026, from 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM at the William J. Burke & Sons/Bussing & Cunniff Funeral Homes, 628 N Broadway, Saratoga Springs.

A funeral service will follow at 1:00 PM.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks you to consider donating to the American Cancer Society in Mark’s honor.

In Loving Memory of James “Jim” and Judith “Judy” Scandura

James “Jim” and Judith “Judy” Scandura passed away within a day of each other, closing a 71-year marriage that formed the foundation of a remarkable family legacy.

Jim and Judy built their life on faith, family, hard work, and service. Together they raised seven children, their greatest pride: James (Susan), Ann-Marie (Thomas), Donna (Dennis), Thomas (Nicole), Sharon (Peter), Janet (Jeffrey), and Lucy. Their family grew to include 63 beloved children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and extended family members, each a source of joy and love.

Family gatherings were the heart of their lives. Their annual Thanksgiving Eve celebration became a treasured tradition, extending into a holiday, filled with laughter, stories, and togetherness that created lasting memories for generations.

Jim devoted many years to New York State service, ultimately becoming Director of Welfare Management, and was respected for his leadership, integrity, and commitment to helping others. Judy, after raising their children, built a successful career with the New York State Republican Party, where she served for many years with dedication, intelligence, and grace.

While proud of their professional accomplishments, Jim and Judy considered their greatest success to be their family. They instilled values of kindness, responsibility, perseverance, and love that continue to live on through each generation.

The family extends heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated aides who provided compassionate care, allowing Jim and Judy to remain in their home with dignity and independence in their later years. Special thanks are extended to Clara LaPlante for her extraordinary devotion, warmth, and care, which meant so much to the entire family.

Though their passing leaves an immeasurable void, there is comfort in knowing they remained inseparable after more than seven decades together. Their love story reflects unwavering commitment, enduring partnership, and unconditional love.

Jim and Judy will be deeply missed, forever remembered, and lovingly held in the hearts of all who knew them. Their legacy lives on in the family they cherished and the many lives they touched.

07/27/2026

Elizabeth M.“Betty” Azotea (née Marcille) passed away at the age of 92, just two days shy of her 93rd birthday. Born on July 21, 1933, in Whiting, Vermont, Betty was one of eight children raised by her French-Canadian parents, John Marcille and Gertrude (Currier) Marcille. For 65 years, she made her home in Saratoga Springs, New York, where she became a beloved and enduring presence in her community.

Betty and her husband, Ben A. Azotea, first met in upstate New York. After their wedding, they spent three years traveling between New York and Florida. Ben was employed as a chef at the Fontainebleau in Florida and worked with Jack -Cevertz before joining Bob Lee Sr. at the Wishing Well Restaurant, where they eventually established their family in Saratoga Springs, NY.

In her role as a waitress at the Wishing Well Restaurant, Betty worked hard to serve Ben’s distinctive culinary masterpieces in the dining room during a time when balancing four hot plates of food on your arms, with towels, was an essential skill, talent, and art. Together, they created a strong reputation for food and service that the Wishing Well is celebrated for today.

Betty had a wide array of hobbies and talents, such as knitting and crocheting, fishing, cooking, and gardening. One night, she knitted a hat for one of her grandchildren because the newborn was so large that standard hats wouldn’t fit him. She was adamant that he needed a hat to keep his head warm. Betty loved fishing for trout, bass, and bullhead in the many lakes and streams near her home in Saratoga Springs, often taking her children along. The fish she caught were usually prepared in a delightful Greek-Syrian style. A fantastic country cook, she was initially taught by her mother, and her culinary skills were later influenced by her husband, a chef who specialized in Filipino and Polynesian cuisine. She took pride in her flower garden, planting and maintaining various rose bushes and perennial flowers on the side of her house. For years, she also tended a vegetable garden, canning many tomatoes for winter use. Other canned goods included grape jelly made from the grapevines in her yard, bread and butter pickles, and pears from the tree in her garden.

Betty raised her four sons on a strong work ethic, strong family values, and a commitment to education. Once they were independent and she had time to herself, she decided to pursue higher education by obtaining a General Equivalency Development (GED) diploma in New York state.

In 1979, Betty embraced a spirited mid-life reinvention, becoming a cosmetologist. For many years, she was employed at a quaint shop on Phila Street in Saratoga Springs, serving under two different owners as the hairstylist for the town’s most distinguished women until her retirement.—another chapter of a life she lived fully and on her own terms.

A voracious reader, Betty delighted in sharing books with family and friends, passing along not just stories but the joy of losing oneself in a good one. She was fiercely loyal to her family and wore the role of matriarch as naturally as she wore anything—a role that was obvious to all who knew her. That watchful, caring presence extended well beyond her own walls; neighbors knew Betty kept a careful, loving eye over the neighborhood.

Those who knew her best were treated to her quick wit and humor, which had a way of catching people delightfully by surprise. Yet Betty also carried a calm, grounding spirit, and she offered encouragement in her own unmistakable way. She reminded those she loved that “You’re a long time dead and a short time living,” and that “Tomorrow’s another day” - gentle wisdom to keep the good times and the hard times alike in their proper perspective.

Betty was preceded in death by her husband, Ben A. Azotea, and by her son Richard. She is survived by her sons Peter of Saratoga Springs, James of Saratoga Springs, and Gary of Parma, Ohio; her eight grandchildren; and her five great-grandchildren, all of whom carry her spirit forward.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the William J. Burke & Sons/Bussing & Cunniff Funeral Homes, 628 North Broadway, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866 (518-584-5373). Saturday, August 1st. Family and friends can pay their respects from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, followed by a Catholic ceremony beginning at noon.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly suggests a donation to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society or to a charity of one’s choice.

Saratoga Springs - Donlynn Graul, 81, passed away peacefully on July 11, 2026. Donlynn was born January 5, 1945, at Saratoga hospital, to Donald and Vivian Shepherd. After Donald’s passing in WWII, she was raised by her stepfather Charles Parish.

Donlynn graduated Saratoga Springs High School in 1962, and proudly attended St. Rose College in Albany, earning her Master’s in Education. She taught elementary at Stillwater Central School for over 30 years, taking great joy in both her students and her close family of teachers. After retiring, she continued to give of herself, volunteering at Saratoga County Mental Health, Wesley, and Mary’s Haven.

Doni was a communicant of St. Clement’s Church, loved her Rosary, and is prayerfully remembered by the Dominican Chapter at St. Clement’s, as she made her final vows as a Third Order Dominican many years ago. Doni lived fully, guiding others to do so as well. She and Bill traveled to Eastham, Cape Cod, yearly, often encouraging both family and friends to join. Her love of the Cape lives on through the generations who continue to enjoy the peace and beauty it has to offer. There were also adventures hiking to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, rafting the Colorado River, and visiting the Black Hills and Mt. Rushmore with Bill, and further excursions with dear friend Marta Hitchen, including the Grand Old Opry and a National Parks tour.

Doni loved Saratoga as well, drinking joyfully from all the springs, and savoring her Tuesday afternoons downtown with Leslie. Home truly was her happy place, though, and she could often be found with a good history or mystery book, her family, and pink flamingos in her gardens. She was a talented quilt maker, leaving her family with many warm memories, literally! And her mac and cheese will forever go unrivaled.

Donlynn continues to be loved by her husband of 50 years, William L. Graul III, daughters Leslie Ives (Daniel) and Deborah Graul, dog JellyBear, cousins Susan Parish and Charlie Parish (Barb), grandchildren Katherine Ives (Chris), Joseph Ives (Brittany), and Frankie Rodriquez, beloved great-grandchildren Carter, Stella, Rylee, and Ryann (aka Pink).

She is remembered by her brother Charles Edward Parish, beloved nephews Chris, Pat, and Sean O’Leary, relatives Mike and Diana Graul, Jane and John Valetta, Anne and Jack Dejnozka, many beloved cousins, and all her chosen family, so many she chose to love. Doni is kicking back in the afterlife with those who went before—her sister Rosanne, father Donald, mother Vivian, Anne and William L. Graul Jr., dear friend Marta, chosen family Lisa and Gail, and fierce protector Zuni Bear.

Our family especially wants to thank those who have been such a great comfort over the last few years—Jane Valetta, Mary Troeger, Susie Parish, the Towne family, especially Molly and Susie, besties Jane Huffer, Sue Shaw and Donna Hartman, Dr. G, and the incredible friends and neighbors from the Eastside.

Relatives and friends are invited to call on Tuesday August 11th, 2026, from 3:00 – 6:00pm at the William J. Burke & Sons/Bussing & Cunniff Funeral Homes, 628 N Broadway, Saratoga Springs. To keep Doni’s memory alive, be kind to those around you—have a cup of coffee with a friend, send a handwritten letter to a loved one, cook a meal, visit the lonely, and most importantly love deeply and unconditionally.

If you would like to honor Donlynn’s legacy of giving love, compassion, and respite to all, please consider donating to Wellspring in her name, at 2816 US 9, Malta, NY 12020.

Saratoga Springs - Cheryl Pepper (Pitney) passed away peacefully at her home in Saratoga Springs, NY, on July 15, 2026. ...

Saratoga Springs - Cheryl Pepper (Pitney) passed away peacefully at her home in Saratoga Springs, NY, on July 15, 2026. Born on July 23, 1947, in Saratoga Springs, Cheryl was the daughter of the late John and Mary (Furey) Pitney. She was a 1965 graduate of Saratoga Springs High School and went on to the College of Saint Rose, where she earned a bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education and a master’s degree in Educational Psychology.

Cheryl was an avid reader and, for much of her life, always had a book at her side and a stack waiting on her nightstand. Her love of reading led her to work at the Saratoga Springs Public Library from the late 1980s until 2002. She treasured her years at the library, not only for the opportunity to work among books, but also for the close friendships she formed with her colleagues.

Cheryl married the love of her life and high school sweetheart, John Pepper, on March 29, 1969. Together they built a life centered around their family. Cheryl faced numerous health challenges throughout her life, and through every one John stood by her side. In her final years, he lovingly cared for her each day with incredible patience, tenderness, and selflessness, reflecting the incredibly strong love they shared for over 60 years.

Cheryl’s primary passion was her family. Her two children and four grandchildren were at the center of her world, which was well documented by her carefully crafted photo albums and walls full of framed family pictures. For nine years, Cheryl meticulously planned yearly trips to Cape Cod and treasured every moment watching her children and grandchildren enjoy that time together. The highlight of those weeks was celebrating her birthday with cake - her favorite treat. She was happiest when surrounded by family.

Cheryl was predeceased by her parents, John and Mary (Furey) Pitney.

She is survived by her beloved husband of 57 years, John Pepper; her children, John Pepper and Debra Allen; her daughter-in-law, Cindy Pepper; her son-in-law, Patrick Allen; her cherished grandchildren, Annalise Pepper (Emily), Corinne Pepper, Lucas Allen, and Matthew Allen; her sister and best friend, Mary Brundage (Patrick); her brother, John J. Pitney Jr. (Lisa), of whom she was so proud; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

The family extends their gratitude to the staff at Wesley Community Healthcare Center and Woodlawn Commons for the compassionate care and support they provided to Cheryl over the past year. They also wish to express their deepest appreciation to Margaret Bishop, whose devoted care and compassion made it possible for Cheryl to spend her final days at home, where she was most comfortable and surrounded by the love of her family.

Family and friends are invited to calling hours on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the William J. Burke & Sons/Bussing & Cunniff Funeral Homes, 628 North Broadway, Saratoga Springs, NY. A funeral service will immediately follow at 11:30 a.m. in the funeral home.

Burial will follow in the family plot at Greenridge Cemetery, Saratoga Springs, NY.
