Hannah Delameter, 104, of Margaretville, died Saturday, June 2, 2007, at Mountainside Residential Care Center in Margaretville.
She was born July 5, 1902, in Sullivan County.
She was predeceased by her husband, Ivan Delameter; her son, Ivan "Stub" Delameter Jr.; and her daughters, Genevieve Holden and Barbara Breitenstein.
Survivors include her daughter, Betty Griffin of Arkville; son-in-law, Robert Breitenstein of Woodstock; grandchildren, Terry Breitenstein and Jeanne Breitenstein of Woodstock, Larry Holden and Arlene Cobb and her husband, Eddie, of Poughkeepsie, George Griffin and his wife, Gina, of Arkville, Fred Griffin of Washington, D.C., and JoAnn Lanzi and her husband, Fred, of Wenell, N.C. She is also survived by nine great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren.
Hannah will be remembered for her love of her family, her love of gardening, her great cooking abilities (especially her famous yeast rolls) and her willingness to help anyone. For many years, Hannah headed the "Bake Sale" at the Hospital Flea Market. She loved bringing in the money.
From a very early age, Hannah always worked. Her parents had a boarding house and when her father died at an early age, Hannah left school to help her mother. You name the job and Hannah had probably done it. She worked for many years cooking at Margaretville Central School, her son's restaurant, the Inn Between, and Kelly's Hotel.
She also volunteered at the Hospital Thrift Shop, and during her lifetime she was a member of the Margaretville Methodist Church, Margaretville Memorial Hospital Auxiliary, Margaretville Firemen's Auxiliary and American Legion Auxiliary.
Hannah gave her family many fond memories because she was such a special mother and grandmother. They all share a lot of "Hannah" stories.
Visitation will be from 7 to 9 p.m. today, June 4, 2007, at the Hynes Funeral Home in Margaretville.
