Marcia McEntee Obituary
Poughquag - Marcia Joyce McEntee, 80, of Poughquag, NY, died from complications of COPD on May 29, 2016.
Born on March 4, 1936, in Paterson, NJ, she was the beloved wife of Harry "Bud" McEntee of Poughquag, NY. They shared a wonderful life together for the past 57 years. Sadly, their two sons predeceased her passing, Marc Lewis McEntee (May 20, 2016) and Scott Alan McEntee (March 30, 2015). It gives her family and friends peace and comfort knowing they are eternally together.
She was an adored mother-in-law to Marc's wife, Dorothy McEntee, and cherished grandmother to their children, Shaun Harrison McEntee and Melissa Grace McEntee. She was a devoted grandmother to Scott's son, Jeffrey Alan McEntee, and great-grandmother to Jeffrey's son, Carl Scott McEntee. She was a loving daughter to the late Joseph and Fannie (Zuckerman) Friedman, admired sister to Stephen Friedman of Florida, and treasured sister-in-law, aunt, cousin and friend to all that loved her. Over the years she truly enjoyed watching the accomplishments of her children, grandchildren and extended family. Marcia will be greatly missed.
Marcia was the granddaughter of Jewish immigrants, the Friedman family, who were leaders in the textile industry in Paterson, NJ. Throughout her life she continued to challenge herself, advancing her education and working in many diverse and interesting industries. She was also a talented watercolorist and creative artist. She shared her interest in decoupage, teaching art classes in Dutchess County and her work was profiled in the Poughkeepsie Journal.

You were such a devoted mother mother n law and Grandmother. The wisdom you bestowed in my life as a mother and to my children will always be cherished and passed down. Your tough love was hard at times yet lessons sometimes beyond my understanding were learned. There are no words to express your dedication toward your family and your husband. You will so be missed. The long talks you were always there for me even after I left the marriage to your son. I pray your at peace and with your two beloved sons may you always look down at us with joy in your heart. I thank you for being a dedicated grandmother to Jeffrey Alan and your great grandson Carl Scott. R. I. P.
Love Always and Always
