Jack loved his family, and not just his immediate family. Anyone who was related in anyway became very important to him and he would visit them often just to say Hi.

To make ends meet, he was a Heavy Equipment Operator for the International Union of Operating Engineers. He also became a Realtor and owned and operated his own sawmill for many years.

That’s what so many loved about her! Her stories were hilarious and she’d always keep you laughing. She could make any day brighter, just by telling you not to sweat the small stuff!

Laurie Ann Broadwell ~ August 13, 2018

Laurie Ann Broadwell, 57, of Bloomfield, New York, passed away peacefully on August 13, 2018, in their family home.

Born on September 16, 1960, to Margot and Don Cole, Laurie was a loving and caring individual who had an uncanny ability to touch the lives of all who knew her in a deep and positive way. She truly lived life to the fullest, whether it was on her Harley alongside her husband Bill, yearly camping trips to Watkins Glenn, sharing a love of the Christmas holiday with her daughter Amy, or through simple pleasures like snuggling her dog Trixie and cat Nook, and spending time with friends and family around a fire in their backyard.

Laurie’s life should always be celebrated and remembered as one filled with laughter and love. The memories she created with friends growing up to the students who rode her bus and knew her as “Miss Laurie,” she loved everyone unconditionally.

Happiness was a big theme throughout her life, and Laurie shared that passion with her beloved husband Bill, who together made their house a home to anyone who stepped foot inside. In addition to her only child Amy McKearney, when she married Bill, she was blessed with three more, Devin, Ciera and Lauren.

For those who knew her, Laurie enjoyed going on adventures and taking pictures of nature and scenery along the way. She had an eye for capturing beautiful moments that others may have overlooked. It goes without saying that no one will ever look at a dragonfly the same way now that she is gone.

Sometimes she would wonder why certain things would happen, but she was a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. Even with her illness, she said there was a reason but wished she knew what it was. They say the light that shines the brightest burns out twice as fast. Although she is no longer with us in person, the light that Laurie has given to so many people will forever shine in their hearts.

Laurie is survived by her husband Bill Broadwell; daughter Amy McKearney (Kevin McKearney) of South Carolina; step-daughter Devin Broadwell (Kyle Jensen) of Waterloo, New York; step-daughter Ciera Broadwell (Kraig Wright) of Hawaii; and newborn grandson Camden McKearney. She is also survived by sister Cindy Fernandez and niece Tiffany LaPrade of Newark, New York; and nephew Brandon Bloom of Arkansas. She is preceded in death by parents Margot and Don Cole and step-daughter Lauren Broadwell.

A celebration of Laurie’s beautiful life will be held at 9154 State Route 5 & 20 in Bloomfield, New York, on Saturday, August 25, 2018. The gathering will start at 3 p.m. and the ceremony will begin at 5 p.m. If you are having trouble finding directions to our home, where the celebration of her life will be held, enter 7-eleven in West Bloomfield into your GPS and we are located across the street.

Marguerite Wilder Carrington “Madge” – August 8, 2018

Rochester, NY/Essex Fells, NJ: Madge passed peacefully on August 8, 2018 at age 100. Predeceased by her husband Lawrence Porter Carrington, her son Lawrence Porter Carrington Jr. “Skip”, and her sisters, Elaine Wilder Bandell and Shirley Wilder Loehr. Survived by her daughter Dianne Carrington-Plano and her husband Joe Plano of Livonia; granddaughters, Susan Faber-Plano and Karen Stotz; great-grandsons, Kyrksen and Alex. Also survived by her daughter-in-law Susie Carrington of CA.

Madge was born on June 20, 1918, in Verona, New Jersey, to Harry and Louise Wilder. She was the second of three daughters. Madge grew up in Verona, attended secretarial school and worked in an insurance and real estate company. She met her husband, Lawrence Porter Carrington, on a blind date on the Fourth of July. Larry, the cousin of one of Madge’s girlfriends, was in the Navy and visiting New Jersey on leave at the time. What became a wartime romance led to their marriage in 1944.

The couple made their new home in Essex Falls, New Jersey, and had two children, son Lawrence Porter Carrington Jr. and daughter Dianne. Dianne recalls that her brother was always known as “Skip,” because when he was born, the nurse handed him to Madge and said, “Here’s your little skipper,” referencing his father’s service in the Navy.

Madge, a homemaker after her children were born, was a hostess who loved entertaining and throwing parties. She was a golfer, theater lover and traveler — she and her husband, Larry, enjoyed trips to Europe and within the U.S., including Hawaii. After Larry’s death, Madge moved to the Rochester area to be close to Dianne. She embraced this new chapter in her life with enthusiasm, making friends and taking in many GEVA performances and Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra concerts, especially POPS. Madge lived at the Friendly Home for the last seven years and always was a friendly and social “people person.”

Funeral services will be held privately with interment in Essex Fells, NJ. Memorial contributions may be made in Madge’s Memory to the Friendly Home Memorial Fund, 3156 East Ave., Rochester, NY 14618. To send a condolence or share a memory please visit: www.doughertyfuneralhomes.com
