Patricia-Ann Lee
June 28,1931— January 21, 2026

Patricia-Ann Lee, 94, of Saratoga Springs, died peacefully in her sleep at her home in Woodlawn Commons on Wednesday, January 21, 2026. Born June 28, 1931, in Newark, New Jersey, she was the only child of Colonel Gordon Stephenson Lee and Gladys Hasson Lee, who predeceased her.

A summa cm laude graduate of Kean College in New Jersey, Pat began her career as an art teacher before earning master’s and doctorate degrees at Columbia University in New York. In 1967, she arrived in Saratoga Springs to take up a teaching position at Skidmore College. An inspirational teacher of medieval, Stuart, and Tudor history, she introduced generations of eager students to the discipline of history, bringing the past to life for them. Numerous students have testified to the enormous impact she had on their minds and lives. A serious scholar, she published essays in such journals as The Historian, Renaissance Quarterly, and Film and History. The lives of great women were a special interest of hers and, indeed, she wrote the splendid opening essay on Lucy Scribner, founder of Skidmore College, in the history of the college written by the late Mary Lynn: Make No Small Plans.

At Skidmore, with a founding gift contributed by one of her students, Pat established the History and American Studies Lab, which houses materials in Anglo-American history, a lasting legacy of her commitment to sharing with students the close study of primary documents. She also created a prize for excellent work in history in memory of her parents.

At Hillsdale College, Pat set up a fund entitled “The Ladies: Laura W. Jury and Gladys Hasson Lee” for the purchase of books on history and music. She also contributed to, and volunteered at Yaddo, the retreat for artists in Saratoga Springs, and she was an Officer in the medieval Order of St. John the Hospitallers.

After her retirement in 2001, Pat focused more intently on her art work, producing numerous ambitious landscapes as well as studies of clouds, flowers, ceramics, and fruits. From time to time, she showed her work in local exhibitions and often gifted her work to friends. Always creative, Pat was a talented seamstress, a maker of jewelry, a resourceful carpenter, and a sought-after painter of murals and Saratoga jockeys.

Pat was a loving daughter, passionate teacher, fiercely loyal friend, and caring godmother to Kent Gladstone, Jessica Martin, and Laura Gladstone. A charismatic presence, full of lively enthusiasm, Patsy-Ann (as she was called by her father) was the best companion for a visit to a museum or discussion of a new book; she had a lively intelligence that questioned, debated, and deliberated. She was committed to learning until the end. Finally, she was the staunch friend you always wanted in your corner. She will be deeply missed.

Her friends wish to convey their gratitude to those who gave her such strong support during the last months of her life, especially Pati Seber and Gina Mergel at Woodlawn Commons.

A celebration of her life will be held at 2 PM on Saturday, 25 April, 2026, at the Woodlawn Commons Saratoga Room, 156 Lawrence Street, Saratoga Springs.

Donations in Pat’s memory may be made to the Wesley Foundation at https://www.thewesleycommunity.org/wesley-Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation

He then attended Saratoga Springs Jr/Sr High School and shortly thereafter leaving there went to Union College for Business Administration.

After only two years, James left and in 1982 started “The Edge” statistical computerized racing selections daily newspaper.

Elizabeth “Bette” Mullan, 94, of Saratoga Springs, passed away peacefully on Monday, January 19, 2026, at Saratoga Hospital with family members by her bedside. Born on August 6, 1931, in Saratoga Springs, NY, she was the daughter of the late Roy and Amelia Clark.

Bette was a proud graduate of Saratoga High School, Class of 1951, where she was involved in numerous extracurricular activities. She carried that Blue Streak pride throughout her life and remained actively involved with her class reunion committee for decades, cherishing the friendships and memories it brought.

Following graduation, Bette attended nursing school and worked for a short time as a nurse at Child’s Hospital in Albany, NY. It was during this period that Elizabeth “Bette” Clark met the love of her life, Tom, at a youth center. In true Bette fashion, she asked him to dance at a Sadie Hawkins dance, and the rest is history. Bette and Tom shared 62 steadfast years of marriage before his passing in 2014. Bette was also a devoted homemaker, known for her unwavering love, selflessness, and dedication to her family.

Bette was a member of St. Clement’s Church in Saratoga Springs and Holy Spirit Church in Nalcrest, Florida, where she and Tom spent their winter months for 37 years. She enjoyed her time in Florida, embracing every moment with joy and energy. Her days were often filled with tennis, water aerobics, bocce ball, shuffleboard, poolside relaxation, and lively community dances shared with many dear friends. Bette also had a deep love for Schroon Lake, NY where she enjoyed reading books and continuing to soak in the sunshine.

An animal lover with a special place in her heart for dogs, Bette’s kindness toward all animals reflected the love and compassion she showed to everyone she met. Yet her compassion did not compromise her competitiveness when a card deck came out. No matter the game, no matter her age OR yours, you were bound to lose.

Above all else, Bette treasured her family. Known for her positive energy, constant encouragement, and warm presence, she was the heart of every gathering. She took immense pride in her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, never missing an opportunity to cheer them on at sporting events, performances, or support their many activities. Family traditions were especially meaningful to her, from vast holiday celebrations filled with laughter to cherished dinners that brought everyone together.

In addition to her parents and husband, Bette was predeceased by her sister, Dorothy Richmond. Survivors include her children: Colleen (Jeff) Becktoft, Thomas Mullan, Jr., Daniel (Doranne) Mullan, all of Saratoga Springs, and Kathy (Brad) Pickert of Colorado; ten grandchildren; and twenty great-grandchildren.

Affectionately known to many as “GG, Gram, and Mom,” Bette will be deeply missed. She was the beloved matriarch of her family, a devoted wife, sister, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Her contagious laugh and compassionate heart will forever live on in the hearts of her family and friends.

Relatives and friends may call from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 22, 2026, at William J. Burke & Sons / Bussing & Cunniff Funeral Homes, 628 North Broadway, Saratoga Springs (518-584-5373).

Saratoga Springs - Clement E. Clark, 99, of Brook Road, a devoted husband and father, a 32 year grocery store manager and a 50 year raceway parking superintendent, passed away January 13, 2026, at home, following a long productive life and now is reunited with his beloved wife of 72 years, Bernadine Clark.

Saratoga Springs, NY- Susan A. (Mackey) Gratton passed away peacefully on January 16, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family and friends.

Born in Albany, New York on January 21, 1950, Susan was the daughter of Dale and Eleanor Mackey of East Greenbush. She graduated from Columbia High School in June 1967—the very same month she met the love of her life, Robert. They were engaged by July and married on November 25, 1967. Together they built a wonderful life in Saratoga Springs, New York, where they raised their two daughters, Cheryl and Debbie.

In 1979, at just 29 years old, Susan underwent open-heart surgery to repair a mitral valve damaged by rheumatic fever she suffered as a child. Seven years later, when that repair was no longer sufficient, she courageously underwent another surgery to receive a mechanical valve—chosen because of her young age and the many years it was expected to give her. That valve carried her for nearly forty years, and her family often said that every day since then was a gift. Her strength, resilience, and quiet determination became a defining part of who she was, inspiring all who loved her.

Despite this lifelong cardiac journey, Susan remained an extraordinary mother—devoted, steady, resilient, and endlessly supportive. In addition to caring for her children, she supported her husband in all of their business endeavors while keeping their home warm, welcoming, and full of love. When her daughters were older, she entered the workforce and spent many years at Wesley Healthcare as an office assistant. She also enjoyed hosting at Pennell’s Restaurant, owned by close family friends.

After Robert retired, they became beloved snowbirds, first in Delray Beach, Florida and later settling in The Villages. Though Susan never considered herself a skilled golfer, she surprised everyone—including herself—by hitting a hole-in-one during her first year playing.

Susan made friends everywhere she went. Her kindness, sense of humor, and genuine interest in others created lifelong connections, and the number of people who loved her is truly remarkable.

She was predeceased by her husband Robert, who passed just four months earlier, as well as her parents and her brothers Albert, David, and Dale.

She is survived by her daughters, Cheryl Pedone (Michael) and Deborah Gratton (Brian); her grandchildren Rickey Hagadorn (Britney), Camryn Kail (Tyler), Anthony Pedone (Meg), Haley Pedone (Tyler), and Nicholas Pedone (Olivia); and her great-grandchildren Aubriella Colette, Charleigh Sue, and Gabriel, with two more precious babies on the way whom she will lovingly watch over. She is also survived by her brother and sister-in-law, Sandy and Frank Gratton, and her sister-in-law, Sister Ann Gratton, all of Saratoga Springs, as well as several nieces and nephews and many dear friends.

After Robert’s passing, Susan found comfort and companionship in Levi, her devoted sidekick, who followed her everywhere and curled up beside her as she played mahjong and Words With Friends—where she was well known for kicking everyone’s butt. The family often joked that he may have helped her cheat from time to time.A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at the Church of St. Peter on Saturday, January 24 at 10:00 AM.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Hospice of Saratoga County in Susan’s memory.

Ballston Spa, NY - It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our loving mother, Patricia A. Willson. Surrounded by her four boys, she peacefully entered into eternal rest on Sunday, January 11, 2026.

Born on March 2, 1942 in Troy, she was the daughter of the late Henry Sr. and Rose (Gemmitti ) Pennell.

Patricia graduated from St. Peter’s Academy in 1959 and later married her husband Ronald P. Willson on March 20, 1966. Together they built their “Homestead” where they resided until his death in 1998.

Raising four energetic boys was far from an easy task, yet escaping into a good book or a swift kick of a clog made everything ok. Regardless of our antics, mom was always our greatest supporter during athletic competitions and held her ground when it came to her children. Once asked what was her greatest accomplishment, she proudly responded “her family”.

Patricia dedicated her career to nursing, serving in the Air Force as a flight nurse with the 109th Stratton International Guard. Additionally, she worked at Samaritan Hospital in Troy before serving over two decades at Saratoga Hospital. Prior to her retirement, she was affectionately known as “The Bug Lady” during her 17+ years of service to Saratoga County’s Public Health Department. Regardless of the position, Pat was known for her intelligence, persistence and true passion for helping others.

Beyond her numerous professional accomplishments and accolades, Patricia was deeply committed to her community. She generously volunteered her time with the HIV/AIDS Coalition, the Home Made Theater in Saratoga Springs, and the Catholic Charities Hospice House.

Along with her parents, Patricia is predeceased by her husband Ron Willson and her son Ronnie Willson. She leaves behind her partner of over 20 years, Dennis Krosky: four sons, Paul (Andrea), Todd (Katie), Matthew (Diane), and Scott (Danielle) Willson; seven grandchildren, Kara, Krista, Derek, Chloe, Zack, Olivia and Victoria; two sisters Carol Angelo (d.Vincent Jr.) and Donna McDonald (d. Ed); two brothers Paul (Patti) and Henry (Sharon) Pennell; and several inlaws, nieces, nephews and cousins.

Although our hearts are heavy, we find solace in knowing that she is pain free and reunited with many beloved family, friends and pets that she has been missing.

Patricia’s family would like to give a special thank you to everyone at No Place Like Home -Care, the Saratoga Senior Center, Saratoga County Hospice and St. Peter’s Hospice for their attentive care.

Relatives and friends may call from 4-7pm on Wednesday, January 21, 2026 at the William J. Burke & Sons/Bussing & Cunniff Funeral Homes, 628 North Broadway, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866.
