Marion B. Fryer

Fryer, Marion B. ALBANY Marion B. Fryer, 87, went home peacefully Thursday, July 10, 2008 with loving family by her side. Marion was born in 1920 in Middletown, N.Y. to David and Mary Logan. She married Joseph G. Fryer in 1945 after waiting his return from World War II and five years of combat for our nation. Marion was the office manager of Dorsey Millwork from 1967 to 1985 and was a dedicated member of the West End Presbyterian Church. She was a corvette enthusiast, jewelry collector, and loved lighthouses. Marion's keen sense of humor, enormous heart, and generosity will be missed. Marion was predeceased by her parents and her husband, Joseph, and her niece, Joan Venard. She is survived by her cherished son, Joseph D. Fryer and his wife, Gail of Mechanicville. She is the enormously proud Nana of grandchildren, Ian and Morgan Fryer and Dr. Kendra Zappia (Graig). They will miss her meatloaf, ice cream sundaes, and hearing her colorful stories. Marion's family wishes to extend its sincere thanks and gratitude to the staff at St. Peter's, especially the 4th floor nurses, technicians, the Hospice Inn staff, and Dr. Mesmer, for the care they provided to Marion and her family.
