Nanette Humbert Obituary
Nanette was born on October 23, 1937, to the late Chester Arthur and Elizabeth Mary (Duell) Dayton in Corinth, NY.
She is survived by her children, Mark Charles (Lisa) Humbert, Maribeth Helen (Gary) Dempster, Paul Ellis (Janey) Humbert and Heidi Lenette (Christopher) Leach. Nanette is also survived by 13 grandchildren, Thomas, Paige, James, Ethan, Leah, Katherine, Kyle, Natasha, William, Trevor-Allen, Victoria, Elizabeth and Casandra and 25 great grandchildren. In addition, she is survived by her sisters-in-law, numerous nieces and nephews and many, many friends
She was predeceased by her loving husband of 51 years, Rev. Leonard Charles Humbert; sisters, Mary Lou Dayton and Betty Orton; brother Roger Dayton, brothers-in-law, Ramon Orton, Rodney Humbert and Donald Humbert and a great-grand-daughter, Piper Faith Humbert.
Leonard and Nanette began their life and ministry together in Corinth. They also served churches in Gloversville, Herkimer, Alton and Rose.
Nanette was a loving and encouraging mother and grandmother who found great joy in people. She frequently returned to the Corinth area to visit friends and family and enjoy the Adirondack mountains she grew up in.
She enjoyed meeting her friends at local restaurants and was always excited to meet new people as she stopped at stores and shops during her travels near and far. Nanette enjoyed decorating her home year round in themes that reflected the things she loved the Adirondacks, art work, flowers, her faith and her family.
Nanette was a woman of great faith and instilled that faith and love of Jesus in her children and family. She had planned to be a missionary, and in fact spent her life encouraging and ministering to people around her, right up to her last days.
Calling hours will take place 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., Saturday, (June 3), at Farnsworth-Keysor Funeral Home, North Rose. Funeral Services will be held at 11 a.m. at the funeral home with Reverend Christopher Leach officiating. Burial will be in the Corinth, NY Rural Cemetery at 5 p.m.

This picture certainly shows Nanette´s quiet kindness, the way I remember her. She lived one street over from our family as we grew up and was in my husband´s graduating class (Charles). Our sincerest sympathy to her family.

This picture certainly shows how Nanette was in life always quiet and kind. She was a lifelong friend who lived just one street over from us growing up and was a classmate of my husband (Charles). Sincerest sympathy to her family.

Nanette was a high school classmate, and I deeply regret not visiting her in Rose. Her passing is a loss to our entire world - what a blessing she was to those who knew her.

Nan was a great encouragement to me at a pivotal time in my young adult years during her and pastor Leonard Humbert's pastorate in Herkimer, NY. She was one of the most kind and compassionate women who have impacted my life

Nan was one of the sweetest people you could ever meet. When I was younger and I would go to church with my grandparents Roger and Eileen Deon , nan would always have the biggest smile on her face and give me a warm hug and always ask me how I was doing and tell me how big I had gotten since the last time she had saw me and she would always mix up my younger sisters and I´s names witch would always make me laugh. Sending my love and prayers to the Humbert family .

Nan & Len we’re wonderful servants of God, great friends, and fantastic neighbors. She was such a sweet lady, soft spoken, loving & the glow of Christ shown thru her from within. Remember when she called me when we moved back to New York, to Queensberry. We met at Friendly’s I believe for coffee and was there until late afternoon, saw shift changes, new folks coming in. Had the best time reminiscing and laughing and just enjoying the moment. Your journey down here on earth is over and you are finally HOME! See ya later!
