| 1828 | Obituary for Virginia "Ginny" Marie Puscheck ( Kleindienst) Virginia Marie (“Ginny”) was born in Bradford, PA on May 17,1934 to Arthur and Dorothy Kleindienst. Her dad was a pastor at Mission Church. In 1939, her father accepted the call to Redeemer Lutheran Church in Colden, NY where she spent the rest of her childhood. At the age of 10, Ginny’s neighbor would pay her a dollar to clean and bake every Saturday where she honed those pie-baking skills that so many of us have been beneficiaries of. Ginny attended a two-room schoolhouse in Colden through grade 7 and attended Springville High School through grade 12, where she graduated in 1952. As a pastor’s kid, she was able to attend Valparaiso Lutheran University where she reconnected with Melvin Puscheck, who was also a pastor’s kid, in the fall of 1952. On August 25th of 1953, Ginny earned her MRS degree when she married Mel. When Mel was first drafted to serve in the Army, Ginny lived in Colden with her parents. With the birth of their first child, Steven in October of 1954, Ginny moved to Fort Hood to be with Mel. Around the time Mel was hired as a history teacher in the North Tonawanda School System, they moved to the Perry Projects in Buffalo, NY. They eventually moved to North Tonawanda where they raised their five children: Steven, Jeffrey, Anne, John and Andrew. Ginny spent many years at St. Paul Lutheran Church where she served faithfully in different ministries including the Ladies Aid and even briefly teaching kindergarten in the Christian school with Marian Stilwell. Something life changing happened to Ginny and Mel at the age of 40. A visiting Lutheran Pastor and Evangelist came to a local church where they were presented with the challenge to know Jesus not just as Savior but as the Lord of their lives. They gave themselves over completely to Jesus and a new fire and love for God invigorated them. Ginny was never the same again. For those that knew Ginny for any length of time, they could easily see that loving God and loving people were the central motivation of her life…and that is what she spent the next 50 years of her life doing. Ginny affected so many people throughout her life. She had a witty sense of humor. She loved without judgement. A devoted member of Vanguard Church, she rarely missed a service even while going through Hospice. Every week, people would line up waiting for one of her legendary hugs which felt like a mix of your mom, grandmother and Jesus hugging you. She was an amazing mother, grandma, and great-grandma and known as a mom to many who were not even her kids. She baked countless pies for SonRays at Canal-fest, made her “funeral rice” to comfort many, and gave and gave without asking for anything back. She finally received her heart’s desire on December 28, 2024 when she went home to be with Jesus whom she loves so deeply. She is greatly missed. Friends may call Friday (January 3, 2025) from 12:00 PM to 2:00 P.M. and 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Vanguard Church, 375 Payne Avenue, North Tonawanda, where a Memorial Service will be held Saturday at 2:00 PM. If desired memorials may be made to SonRays Ministries, or to Vanguard Church. https://vanguard.churchcenter.com/giving | KLEINDIENST, Virginia Marie (I197173)

| 1849 | Obituary of Anne Honeywell Orr Anne Honeywell Orr of Youngstown, New York lived her life as she wanted, creating an innovative, original, and artistic life by design. She was a devoted activist, an accomplished sailor, had a fascinating and multifaceted career, an adventurous spirit, and was a devoted family member. Her death on April 17th leaves many wishing they could hear her laugh or strong opinions once again. Anne grew up in Youngstown, where she graduated from Lewiston Porter High School in 1975. She was born into a sailing family, leading to a lifelong affiliation with the Youngstown Yacht Club where she was an early advocate for and avid participant in all-women’s racing that opened the door for many young women. After graduating from Smith College, she began a life of adventure and reinvention. Anne worked in advertising, eventually owning an ad agency in Pittsburgh. She traveled the US in her van, Van Go, for a year, and using her communication skills next became a successful business consultant working with major organizations worldwide on mergers and acquisitions. Anne studied interior design while living in Seattle and San Francisco, eventually working on homes coast to coast. Her work was featured in a design magazine - she was brilliant choosing color and giving practical advice. Anne wove the tapestry of her life from coast to coast, connecting the people and places that she loved with one another. During her time in San Francisco, Anne learned her Grandmother’s home on Church Street in Youngstown was for sale and after purchasing it in 2009, she began what was perhaps her best reinvention - a life of service and activism that benefited so many. Anne was Chair of the Niagara Area Foundation Council, an elected member of the Lewiston-Porter Board of Education, a sous chef for Meals on Wheels, and tirelessly worked on political campaigns, including being a founding member of Indivisible Niagara, a political action group. Jodee Riordan, President of the Lewiston-Porter Board of Education, wrote in tribute to Anne, “Her service to the community extended beyond the Board of Education, to numerous charitable and political organizations. When there was work to be done, a cause to champion, or a need in the community, Anne was there. During the past year of the pandemic, she worked tirelessly delivering meals to those in need and made thousands of cloth masks, which she distributed freely throughout the district and across the country. The day before her death, she delivered over a hundred children’s masks that she had made for an upcoming event on her way home from her work at Meals on Wheels.” Anne loved to sail and travel, she was a generous friend, and adored her Havanese dog, Lola. She will be deeply missed by her brother Thomas and sister-in-law Deana Orr of Newport, Rhode Island, her nephews Ben Ellcome of Exeter, Rhode Island and Thomas Orr, Jr. and Nicholas Orr of Newport, Rhode Island, her best friend David Paul-Jones of Youngstown, New York, and so many others. She was pre-deceased by her parents George and Susan Orr, her brother George Orr, III. and her sister Judy, brother-in-law Davey, and niece Sarah Ellcome. A memorial service is planned for July. In lieu of flowers, donations should be made to Meals on Wheels of Niagara Falls (https://www.mownf.org/) or the Youngstown Sailing Foundation of the Youngstown Yacht Club, 491 Water St, Youngstown, NY 14174. Arrangements entrusted to HARDISON FUNERAL HOMES INC. LEWISTON. Please visit www.hardisonfuneralhomes.com for online condolences. | ORR, Anne Honeywell (I154535)
