Boone, Elizabeth Marie (Young) GUILDERLAND Elizabeth Marie (Young) Boone passed into eternal peace and happiness, Sunday, April 8, 2007 in the presence of her children at Our Lady of Mercy Life Center in Guilder-land. Betty was born December 15, 1920 to the late Charley and Margarite (Peg) Young. Charley Young was a well known sports editor for the former Knickerbocker News. Betty graduated from Vincentian Institute in 1938 and Mildred Elley Secretarial School. She was briefly employed at Capitol Forestry where she met her husband, Charles Boone and remained happily married until his death in 2000. Betty was the only child who wanted six children before she was 30. She got her wish and then some. In addition to her husband, Betty was predeceased by their infant daughter, Martha. She is survived by her children, Charles (Lynne) Boone of Clifton Park, Carole (Victor) Ballato of Delmar, Donald (Barbara) Boone of Edgewater, Md., Theresa (Patrick) Boyle of Farmington, N.H., James (Susan) Boone of Fayetteville, Mary (John) Querques of Clifton Park, Gerard (Laura) Boone of Westerlo, Anne (Thomas) Bielawski of Duanesburg, John (Chris) Boone of New York City and Joseph (Taffey) Boone of Westerlo; 25 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren. Betty is also survived by a brother and sister-in-law, William (Joan) Boone of Las Vegas, N.V.; a sister-in-law, Ethel Woods of Palo Alto, Calif.; two nephews and three nieces. During the years the family lived in Delmar, Betty was a member of the St. Thomas Parish and their Alta Rosary Society. After moving to Westerlo, Betty joined the parish of St. John the Baptist in Greenville and was an active member in their Altar Rosary Society as well as a Eucharistic Minister. She also participated in the local Meals-on-Wheels, the Westerlo Volunteer Fireman's Ladies Auxiliary and the NYS Beef Cattlewomen's Association. Betty's family extends a most heartfelt thank you to the supervisors and staff at Mercy Care for their exemplary care and love given to Betty during her residency. Without Agnes, Vivian and the daily and evening aides who tended to Betty's needs, her last three years, would have been unbearable. Ladies, we salute you all!
