We remember the life of Keith Allen Wagar, 63, a man who could make anyone laugh and who had a heart as big as his stubborn streak. Keith passed away suddenly on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, at Albany Medical Center.

He was born on June 23, 1962, in Albany, NY, to Jim and Jane (Barnes) Wagar.

Keith was a man of many passions. He loved the open road, often taking long car rides and walks with his beloved wife, Jennifer, or cruising on his Harley in his younger days. His love for vehicles didn't stop at bikes and cars; you could often find him engrossed in any TV show that featured an engine and four wheels.

He also had a love for bluegrass music, attending festivals whenever possible, and he enjoyed a good seafood dinner. Keith was a hard worker, dedicating many years to his career as a union painter, then later working for Snell Septic in Greenwich. He was known for his determination and dependability, traits that served him well in his career and personal life.

Above all else, Keith valued the time he spent with his wife, Jennifer, who was his world. They were the best of friends and partners, always finding new adventures to embark on together.

Keith was a stubborn man, but his hard-headedness was often softened by his quick wit and jovial spirit. His love for his family was steadfast and strong, his laughter was contagious, and his spirit was unbreakable.

Keith is survived by his loving wife Jennifer Wagar; mother, Jane (Barnes) Wagar; his daughter's, April and Julie; stepchildren, Brittany, Brandi, Brianna (Chris) and Abraham; brother, Raymond Bergan Jr. and special friends, Harold and Tracy Snell and Glen Davis.

He is predeceased by his biological father, Jim Wagar, his adopted father, Raymond Bergan and brother’s Richard and David Bergan.

Family and friends may call from 4 to 6 pm on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, at Flynn Bros, Inc. Funeral Home, 80 Main St, Greenwich, NY, 12834. His memorial service will follow at 6 pm with Rev. Melissa Weatherwax officiating.

On September 16, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family, Ann Elizabeth Hanson Lyons passed away at the age of 90.

Ann was born in Staten Island, NY, the daughter of Arthur and Helen (Burdick) Hanson. In 1944, her family relocated to her grandparents’ farm in Easton, NY, a community that would become both her home and the heart of her life story.

A 1953 graduate of Greenwich Central School, Ann later attended the Austin School of Cosmetology in Albany. She worked in Troy until 1955, when she married the love of her life, Robert “Bob” Lyons, at Centenary United Methodist Church in Greenwich. They built a home in Easton and spent nearly 70 years creating a life centered around family and community.

Throughout her life, Ann gave generously of her time. She was a Sunday School teacher, 4-H leader, Girl Scout “cookie mom,” a member of the Easton-Greenwich Rescue Squad, and a tireless supporter of her children’s many school, music, and athletic activities. She worked as a clerical aide at GCS for 13 years, retiring in 1998.
Ann blended country wisdom with a forward-looking spirit, embracing the internet before it reached most homes. She claimed it was just to keep tabs on her children by email, but it also elevated her L.L. Bean shopping game long before “online shopping” was a household phrase. She poured her creativity into quilting, a pastime she loved as much for the craft as the friendships it brought.

In later years, she and Bob were known for “keeping an eye on things” from their driveway, watching neighbors come and go, the Skiffs’ cattle grazing across the road, and finding any excuse to wave, chat, and stay connected with the community they loved. Ann took quiet joy, in the life she and Bob built, their home, their family, and the close-knit community of which they were proud to be a part.

She is survived by her children Gregory Lyons; Sharon Wood (Scott); Janine Smith; and Andrea Lyons; her grandchildren Marcus Wood (Cassie), Thomas Wood (Emilee), Tad Smith (Alexandra), and Brieanna Smith; her great-grandchildren Kylee, Carlisle, Colton, Avery, Logan, and Izabel; and many nieces, nephews, and extended family.
In addition to her husband, who passed in 2024, Ann was predeceased by her parents; her siblings David Hanson and Jane Harvey; her daughter-in-law Terri Scanlon; and her grandson Benjamin Smith.

Her family extends heartfelt thanks to the friends and staff at the Washington Center Adult Day Care and Country Meadows for their loving and capable care.

Donations in her memory may be made to the Easton-Greenwich Rescue Squad, 441 State Route 29, Greenwich, NY 12834.

Family and friends may call from 5 to 6 pm on Tuesday, September 30, 2025, at Flynn Bros, Inc. Funeral Home, 80 Main St, Greenwich, NY, 12834. Her memorial service will follow at 6 pm.

Interment for both Ann and her late husband Robert “Bob” Lyons will be held at 11 am the following day, Wednesday, October 1, 2025, in the Gerald B.H. Solomon, Saratoga National Cemetery, 200 Duell Rd, Schuylerville, NY, 12871. A reception for family and friends will follow at Wallie's restaurant in Greenwich.

Isabelle’s hands were rarely still, she loved painting, quilting, and knitting, creating beautiful pieces that brought joy to those who received them. Isabelle was selective, especially when it came to shopping. She always was dressed to the 9’s and her style was quite simply “Elegant”.

She cherished camping trips with her family and later in life, Isabelle and Arthur embarked on a grand adventure, traveling all over the United States in their RV, eventually making Florida their home for over 30 years. Isabelle was a social butterfly, forming many relationships at the clubhouse in Florida. While there, she enjoyed playing cards and games with friends, and carried that tradition with her grandchildren.

Isabelle leaves behind a legacy of love, resilience, and adventure. She survived by her daughters, Debra (Keith) Rich and Dawn (Eric) Bissonette; her grandchildren, Jeremy (Kristen) Jeskie, Christopher (Amanda) Badaloni, Jennifer (Justin) D**e, Jamie (Nate) Brushett, and her six great-grandchildren, will remember her fondly.

As Maya Angelou beautifully expressed it, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Isabelle’s warmth, kindness, and love will live on in the hearts of those who loved her.

Isabelle & Arthur will be laid to rest at the Gerald BH Solomon Saratoga National Cemetery 200 Duell Rd, Schuylerville, NY, 12871.
