Florence "Ann" (Meneely) Coltey
April 30, 1940 - Jan. 27, 2022
FORT ANN - Florence "Ann" (Meneely) Coltey, 81, passed away at Glens Falls Hospital on Thursday, January 27, 2022.
Born on April 30, 1940, she was the daughter of the late Edwin R. Meneely and Florence Eva (Dudley) Meneely, who died while giving birth to her. Walter and Lucy Bardin then became her parents at six weeks old.
Ann graduated from Hudson Falls High School in 1958 and married Floied V. "Sonny" Coltey five years later on November 2, 1963. They celebrated their 58th Wedding Anniversary on November 2, 2021.
She was a Secretary for the ASC Office and US Catheter and a Payroll Clerk for Nibco before becoming a Teacher's Assistant in Remedial Reading for Fort Ann Central School where she retired in 2002 after 26 years.
Ann was a past member of the First Baptist Church of Hudson Falls for 18 years and then the West Fort Ann United Methodist Church for 48 years where she was the Memorial Treasurer and a Sunday School Teacher.

Ann was also a member of the Merry Mohicans, Adirondack Bluegrass League, Northeast Association of Country Western Entertainment, Washington County Expo Committee, Stukely Wescott Descendants Vermont Chapter where she served as Treasurer for 10 years, and National Chapter Stukely Wescott Society Secretary for eight years.
Her enjoyments included a passion for photography and always had her camera with her. She also enjoyed working on the family genealogy, scrapbooking, camping, coin collecting, and her beautiful rock and flower gardens but her greatest love was spending time with family.
Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her brother, Edwin Meneely and her sisters, Inez Wright and Shirley Goodman.
Survivors include her husband, Sonny; son, Darryl (Mylene) Coltey; daughters: Lori (Keith) Lunt, and Jaclyn Coltey (Troy); granddaughters: Logan Coltey (fiance Lester Weller), Melanie (Kevin) Lovett, Kennedy Coltey (fiance Jason Yard), Ashley (Paul) Butler, Melissa (Andre) Lacross; grandsons: Kyle Ketcham, Keith Lunt II (Cristie), Shane (Laura) Lunt; great-grandchildren: Leighton and Lucy Weller, Lillian Lovett, Rhyan, Gavin, Alexander and Grace Butler, Shawn Lunt, Hunter and Nolin Lacross, and Gideon and Amaya Lunt; along with several nieces, nephews and cousins.

To Sonny, Darryl, Jackie and Lori,
Where do I begin-so many years of memories with my neighbors on Goodman Road. Darryl, you were like a second son when you and Don were going to school and growing up together. Sonny, you were there the day my Grandmother Yole and Dad passed, sitting on the couch, holding my hand.
I am so sorry I was not at home and was shocked to hear of Ann's passing. The last time I saw her was when I delivered strawberries. Her kind, gentle nature will always be remembered.
She is now Soaring with the Angels.

To Sonny, I am so sorry to hear of your loss of Ann. I remember her from those years of bowling. She always greeted me with her warm smile and gentle words as I passed by where she sat watching her special guy (you) in action. It was obvious that she was a special person and that she loved you very much. ----Elna
