Paula V. Langdon

EASTON — Paula V. Langdon, 90, peacefully entered eternal rest on Thursday, September 29, 2016 in the comfort of her home. Paula was the daughter of James Vendette and Julia LaBelle. Born in New York City, she studied pre-med and moved to Saratoga Springs where she worked in Pathology at Saratoga Hospital. While working at the hospital, she received a lifetime state appointment and taught emergency room crisis management. After leaving her position at the hospital, Paula and her husband, Nate Langdon, invested more time in their publishing business. Together they started the Wise Shopper newspaper on a mimeograph machine, in the basement of a Greenwich church. They eventually moved the business to Broad Street in Schuylerville and grew their paper into one of the most popular in the area. Paula was an educated, successful business woman. Once retired, she traveled the world, creating many great memories that she enjoyed sharing with loved ones. Paula was a very independent woman and had a huge heart filled with love for her family, animals, and the children of St. Jude’s research hospital. Survivors include her great-nephew Christopher Crocker who resided with her; her two nieces Debbie Crocker and Roberta Gilligan, as well as several cousins. There were no public calling hours. A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated Tuesday, Oct. 4, 2016 at the historic Church of St. Peter in Saratoga Springs, by the Rev. Thomas H. Chevalier, pastor. Burial followed in the family plot at St. Peter’s Cemetery, also in Saratoga Springs. Arrangements are under the direction of the William J. Burke and Sons/Bussing and Cunniff Funeral Homes of 628 North Broadway, Saratoga Springs. Online remembrances may be made at www.burkefuneralhome.com.
