Lowville – (Alice) Jane Baer Hadlow, 99, died peacefully at her home of 52 yrs in the early hours of Friday, September 7, 2018, surrounded by loving family and wonderful caregivers - affectionately dubbed, “Team Hadlow”.

Mrs. Hadlow was born May 13, 1919 in Minneapolis, MN. The daughter of the late Clarence Eugene Baer and Frances Mabel (Whalley) Baer. Her birth was eventful due to the fact that she and her fraternal twin sister were each born in one of the Twin Cities while their mother was enroute, via train to Seattle, WA.

She and her family enjoyed the outdoors, often taking wilderness camping trips together. That encouraged her involvement with the Girl Scouts of America, acting as both unit leader and waterfront leader for the summer scout camp. In later years, this passion led to her receiving the award of Eagle Scout, becoming a troop leader and eventually Neighborhood Chairman while living in the Baldwinsville, NY area.

After graduating from Cornell University in 1941 with a degree in Food Management, she met and later married, George Alfred Hadlow, Jr on June 20th, 1942 in Oswego, NY. He was soon deployed to join the US Army forces in WWII. When he returned from his tour of duty, they settled down and began their family.

They enjoyed raising their five children, traveling together and finally settling in their present home in Lowville. There were many summers spent sailing together on the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario.

Jane was also a long time member of the First Presbyterian Church of Lowville serving as secretary to the Council of Churches for many years. She and George faithfully attended church, as this was a strong influence in their lives.

Once her family was grown, she utilized her background training in food preparation management and became Head Dietician at Lewis County General Hospital. After several years, she retired and continued enjoying her life with George as well as being involved with grandchildren and then engaging with her great grandchildren. She had a continuing interest in learning and kept up with all that was happening in the world. One of her favorite pastimes was watching football, golf and baseball and rooting for her favorite teams.

Surviving her are her husband, George, of 76 years; their four daughters, Susanne (Roman) Hrycun of Rhinebeck, NY; Ellen Goodrich of Naperville, IL; Frances (Rick) Collins of Williamsburg, VA; and Janis Hadlow of Cameron, NC; 11 grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren; as well as her youngest brother, Donald Baer of Kent, WA.

She was predeceased by her son, David William Hadlow; twin sister, Jean Baer Hallock; as well as brothers, Jack Baer and David Baer.

She was a modest person, never wanting to be the center of attention. However, she influenced so many people over her life without truly knowing it.

A memorial service will be held on a later date at the discretion of the family. She will be honored on Sunday, Sept 9, 2018 by the congregation of the First Presbyterian Church of Lowville during the 10:00 AM service. Any donations may be sent to the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation in memory of David Hadlow.

Charles Meagher Major was born in Syracuse on August 30, 1933. He was educated at CBA, Lemoyne College, Syracuse University, and Saint Bernard’s Seminary among other opportunities. Ordained as a Diocesan priest in 1959, his assignments included associate pastor at St. John the Evangelist Parish, in Syracuse; biology teacher and athletic director during the beginning years of Bishop Ludden High School; faculty and dean of discipline at Wadhams Hall Seminary, Ogdensburg; The Diocesan Director of Vocations’; co-founder of Aquinas Seminary at Lemoyne College. From 1977 to his retirement in 2011, he was Pastor of his beloved community, St. Joseph the Worker Parish, Liverpool.

Fr. Charlie left the following words to express his appreciation for his days on this earth: (Rev.) Charles M. Major, having successfully completed his allotted time on spaceship earth, has gone on to more profound realms. His accomplishments were modest, his enthusiasms were varied, his devotion as a pastor was warm, profound and personal; his mistakes were many, his offenses were garden variety—not an original sinner but practiced in imperfection.

Charlie was devoted as friend, resourceful as companion, restless and inquisitive as student/learner. There was always more to do than time to do it. Gratitude loomed large in his spirit and expectancy marked his attitude. He relied on others in hosts of different ways and in a variety of circumstances. Remember him as a cheerleader, ever so appreciative of what has been and open to what will be.

Nunc Dimittis.

Charlie’s death was caused by an undetermined neurological event that his body could not heal. As a man of faith in medical science and in spirit, he donated his body to SUNY Upstate Medical University.

He was predeceased by parents Dr. Stanley J. Major and Margaret Regina Major; by his siblings, Barbara and Bill Major and Jean Major Lovas.

His family includes numerous cousins, especially Bill Cuddy (Pat Hoffmann); niece, MaryBarbara Lovas, (John Sharon), great niece and nephews, Rory, Rebecca, and Brendan Sharon, many friends, especially Ellen McDonald, Jack Heagerty, Chuck Fahey, Jane Hugo, Ellen Golden and Jack Sipple.

Celebrations of Charlie’s life will be held at St. Joseph the Worker Church, 1001 Tulip Street, Liverpool:

Calling hours will be Friday, September 14 from 3-7 pm with a Vigil for a Deceased Priest to follow at 7:00 pm, led by Msgr. Charles Fahey.

Liturgy will be held on Saturday, September 15, at 11:00 am. Led by Bishop Thomas Costello, Fr. Peter Major (Charlie’s cousin), Msgr. John Heagerty, Dc. Steve Manzene. All other brother priests, vested or not, are welcome to sit among the people of the God.

But one of his most important goals in life was educating young people in the value of mathematics in their lives; and this fact can be attested to by his sons, nephews and grandchildren as well as students of Gouverneur, Harrisville and Edwards where he was a substitute teacher after his second retirement.

A memorial service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to First United Methodist Church of Gouverneur, Hospice House of 408 West Alexander Ave in Greenwood, SC 29646(www.hospicepiedmont.org.) or Alzheimer’s Association of Central NY.
