Survivors include three sons: Lee Ramsey of Glens Falls, Fred Hopkins and his wife, Mary, of Corinth and Terry Hopkins and his wife, Kelly, of Queensbury; six grandchildren: Clifford Fosmer Jr. and his wife, Sabrina, Aaron Fosmer, Fred Lewis of Corinth and Valerie, Rachel and Andrew Ramsey, all of Schenectady; two great-grandchildren, Kyle and Angelina Fosmer, both of Corinth; five sisters: her surrogate sister, Nancy Belden Leonbruno, her biological sisters, Agnes Linehan, Jean Gordon, Joan Ramsey and Mickey Breault; five biological brothers: John Daly, Richard Stockdale, Richard Sutliff, Donald Sutliff and Raymond Sutliff; also several nieces, nephews, many dear friends and her loving dog, Teisha Lynn Hopkins.

Lee, Fred, Terry & Families,
I know it has been a long time since we have seen your mom, but she was a very sweet woman and she will be missed by us all. Just remember, Aunt Fay is already waiting by the gates for her, so neither one of them are taking their journey alone. If you need anything let us know. Your in our thoughts and prayers.
