Rose Haley

WILTON – In the early morning hours, on Monday, September 14, 2026, our mom, Rose Haley quietly left us, bound for her heaven-free at last, of no longer constrained by a failing body. 

While we mourn the enormity of our loss, our hearts are also filled with profound gratitude. We were blessed beyond measure to have had her in our lives-to have known her love, felt her guidance, and witnessed the quiet strength with which she lived. 

She was the rarest of treasures-a remarkable woman, a tower of strength, and, without question, a fashionista with impeccable style and grace. She never needed recognition or fanfare. She lived simply, loved deeply, and gave freely. Her family was the center of her world, and she stood beside us through everything, giving of herself in ways we may only now begin to fully understand. 

She was predeceased by her husband, Thomas, the love of her life. Together, they shared a life whose greatest legacy lives on in the family they built. 

She leaves behind her beloved children, Kimberly; Thomas; Kerry (James) Morris; Casey (Francis) Murphy; and Katherine (John) Moore; her grandchildren, Jessica (Shaunt) Voskanian; Jeremy (Catharina) Mollet; Haley (Kyle) Knox; Taylor (Maria) DeMatteo Morris; and Hannah, Ava, and Katie Moore; and her great-grandchildren, Kaia and Cole Voskanian; Callan and Maeve Mollet; and Grayson Knox. 

She also leaves behind her adored brothers, John and Martin Casey; her extended family nieces and nephews and many dear friends. In each of them, her memory will endure-in stories shared, lessons remembered, and the love she gave so freely. 

Her physical presence may be gone, but what she gave us remains. Her strength lives within us. Her love surrounds us. Her lessons will guide us. And her memory will forever be woven into the lives of her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, family, and friends who are left to cherish her. 

Rest peacefully now, Mom. Your work here is finished. You were deeply loved, you will be profoundly missed, and you will remain a part of us for all eternity. 

Private services will be held at the Gerald B.H. Solomon Saratoga National Cemetery, where she will be laid to rest beside her husband. 

We ask that you honor her life in the simplest and most meaningful way: be kind, don’t judge, and give freely. In doing so, a little of the goodness she brought into this world will continue through each of us. 

Our family would also like to express our deepest gratitude to Community Hospice of Saratoga for their guidance, compassion, and impeccable care and support during Mom’s final journey. Their kindness brought comfort not only to her, but to all of us, and we will remain forever grateful.

Frank Angelo Cannizzo 

Niskayuna, NY- Frank Angelo Cannizzo, passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, September 10, 2026, just over four months after his loving wife Amy. He was 87. Born October 25, 1938, in Gloversville, NY, he was the only child of the late Angelo “Red” and Martha Cannizzo.

Along with being an amazing husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, cousin, and friend, Frank was a teacher and coach. After graduating from Ithaca College, “Mr. C” taught at the Niskayuna School District, enriching the lives of many students. As if being heavily involved in the school community wasn’t enough, Frank was also the recreational director for the Town of Niskayuna. There, he became well known for organizing and running many events including the Summer Program. He was even the recipient of the Community Role Model award at the 2006 Niska Day Parade.

His career devoted to serving the public seamlessly translated into how he cared for and was loved by his family. Always prepared with a giant parachute for family events, an Easter Bunny costume for hiding eggs, and the patience to take and teach his grandkids how to fish early mornings on Caroga Lake are just a few of the memories they will hold on to dearly.

He loved his Mustang (which he let some of his grandkids use to show up to their high school prom in style), Burger King, monster cakes for his birthday, the Saratoga Racetrack, and spending time at “the land” hunting.

Always ready with a quick, logically sarcastic remark and a grin (“How are you feeling?”…. “With my hands.”), Frank may have tried to portray a tough exterior, but we all knew that he was the biggest softy around. His love was quiet, yet strong and comforting- with just a look you could feel how much he cared.

Along with his parents, Frank is predeceased by his wife Amy.

He leaves behind to cherish his memory his children Debbie (Danny) DeCelle, Tom (Edie) Cannizzo, Kim (Brad) DeNovio, and Mike (Jill) Cannizzo; his grandchildren Nick (Meredith) DeCelle, Stephanie (Eric) Nelson, TJ Cannizzo, Jen (Jim) Ambrose, Emily (Jesse) Rose, Matt DeNovio, McCauley Cannizzo, Mikey Cannizzo, and Kyle Cannizzo (Maria Walker); and his great grandchildren Cecilia and Natalie DeCelle, Daniella and Edward Nelson, Dallas Carter Kaushal, Evan and Ava Ambrose, Jude and Freya Rose, and Luca Cannizzo. He will also be missed by many cousins, friends, students, and colleagues from over the years.

Frank’s family would like to extend a special thank you to those who took such wonderful care of him – Dee, Angela, Tammy, Sara, Alyssa, Amanda, Colleen and Tracie.

Calling hours were held on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, at the William J. Burke & Sons/Bussing & Cunniff Funeral Homes, 628 North Broadway, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866 (518-584-5373).

A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at St. Paul the Apostle Church, 2777 Albany Street, Schenectady, NY 12304. Burial followed in the family plot in St. Cyril & Method Cemetery, Rotterdam, NY.

Memorial donations may be made in Frank’s name to the Community Hospice of Schenectady, 445 New Karner Rd. Albany, NY 12205 (communityhospice.org).

Marilynn Ruth Moran

SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY – Marilynn Ruth Moran, beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt passed away on September 7, 2026, surrounded by her loving family.  She was 88 years old.

Marilynn was born on July 8, 1938, to James and Ruth Collins.  She was a lifelong resident of Saratoga Springs, where she attended and graduated from Saratoga Springs High School.  The friendships she formed during her childhood and high school years became lifelong treasures. In fact, Marilynn was looking forward to attending her 70th high school reunion in just a few weeks—a testament to the enduring friendships and connections that meant so much to her throughout her life.

Marilynn graduated from SUNY Cortland with a bachelor’s degree in education in 1960. She began her teaching career in Irondequoit and continued to teach after returning to Saratoga Springs.  She was, quite simply, a born educator. Teaching was not merely a profession for Marilynn; it was part of who she was.  She was a fierce advocate and cared deeply for all children throughout the 39 years she taught.

For many years, Marilynn devoted herself to Saratoga cheerleading programs as a dedicated coach, from Pop Warner to High School. During those years, she made an immeasurable impact on the lives of countless young people, and her positive influence has been shared with her family many times throughout the years.  The lives she touched during those years will carry a piece of her forever.

Marilynn was a caretaker of the people she loved.  Her home was always the place for gatherings; holidays, birthdays, and any occasion where friends and family would come together to celebrate.  Summers were spent around her pool talking, laughing and enjoying BBQ’s.  One of her greatest pleasures was watching her grandchildren and other family members swimming and having fun.  She enjoyed many wonderful family vacations in New Hampshire and Ogunquit, Maine where she loved sitting on the beach, shopping, and treating herself to a lobster tail. Throughout her life Marilynn loved sports.  She followed her Alma Mater Saratoga Blue Streaks faithfully and even watched her beloved Fighting Irish just days before she passed.  She kept her mind sharp with word games, especially crossword puzzles; we have yet to come across one she could not figure out. Marilynn had a gift for making people laugh. She loved a good joke, and if you were lucky enough to be in her presence, chances were very good that you were laughing as well. She brought warmth and humor wherever she went, and she had an extraordinary way of making people feel that they belonged and were loved.

Marilynn’s greatest joy was her family; especially her three daughters, Debbie, Colleen, and Mary Beth. The bond between Marilynn and her daughters was extraordinarily close. Not a day went by when she did not speak to or see one of them. They were an inseparable part of one another’s lives, and her daughter’s lives were infinitely richer because of the love, strength, wisdom, and laughter she gave them.  She also maintained a close and loving relationship throughout her life with her siblings, her sister Maureen and brothers Bill and Jim.

Marilynn was predeceased by her parents, Ruth and James Collins, her sister Barbara Collins, her grandson Spencer Hellwig IV, her grandson Ryan Donohoe, her Aunt Marion Brophy, and her dear sister-in-law Nancy Moran.  She leaves behind her 3 daughters, Debbie (Spencer) Hellwig, Colleen Sleight, and Mary Beth Moran, 3 siblings, Maureen (Art) Maciariello, William Collins, and James (Jane) Collins, 3 grandchildren, Paige Hellwig, Daniel Sleight, and Griffin Donohoe, as well as several nieces and nephews and their children, and her lifelong friend Franny Scarpino.

Calling hours were held on Monday, September 14, at the William J. Burke & Sons/Bussing & Cunniff Funeral Homes, 628 North Broadway, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866 (518-584-5373).  A Mass of Christian burial was celebrated at 10am, Tuesday, September 15 at St. Clements Church. Burial was private.

Kindly consider a donation, as requested by the family, to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.  

Online remembrances can be made at www.burkefuneralhome.com.

Marilynn gave so much love to the world during her 88 years. She made people laugh, children feel loved, young people believe in themselves, family feel cherished and friendships that last a lifetime.  She was deeply loved, she will be profoundly missed, and she will never, ever be forgotten.

Mary Ann “Marion” Herzog 

SARATOGA SPRINGS – Mary Ann “Marion” Herzog of Saratoga Springs, New York, left this world just days after celebrating her 88th birthday, where she had been surrounded by family and friends. She quietly and bravely entered the presence of our Lord on September 4, 2026.

Born on September 1, 1938, to Frank and Katerina Kemlage of East 66th Street in New York City, Mary Ann attended St. John Nepomucene Elementary School, Cathedral High School, and Thorpe Secretarial School.

After marrying her beloved husband, Robert Lawrence Herzog, on September 6, 1958, Mary Ann moved “upstate,” where she and Robert made their home for many years in Kingston, New York. They later moved to LaGrangeville, New York, where they lived happily with summers of vegetable gardening, autumns of school band performances, and winters of warm holiday memories. Mary Ann later moved to Aloha Park in New Paltz, to be nearer her sisters, and then on to Saratoga Springs for her final years to live near her daughter and family.

Mary Ann was predeceased by her husband, Robert in 1981; her parents; and her siblings: Michael Kemlage, Betty (Bernadine) Cambalik, Katie (Catherine) Corbin, and, most recently, her brother Frank Kemlage and sister Frances Sikula. She was also predeceased by beloved nieces and nephews and brothers- and sisters-in-law.

She is survived by her children Joanne Califano (Mark) of Mukilteo, WA; Suzanne Hausam (Kenneth) of Middle Grove, NY; and Robert F. Herzog (Sarah) of Hyde Park, NY. She also leaves behind her beloved grandchildren Lauren, Marissa, Hannah, and Jayden Califano; Emily, Kara, and Nathaniel Hausam; and Jacob and Logan Herzog. She is also survived by brothers Bernard Kemlage and Joseph Kemlage.

Mary Ann began her working career in New York City in secretarial positions, later working as a bookkeeper for an accounting firm and for her husband’s small business. After her husband’s passing, Mary Ann became an Administrative Assistant for IBM World Trade, and the St. Francis Hospital Emergency Department, both in Poughkeepsie.

Mary Ann enjoyed drawing, cooking, singing, and playing games of chance. She enjoyed traveling across the US from coast to coast, and abroad to Rome and the Bahamas. She has always enjoyed getting people together, whether it was for a fun LCR game with her neighbors or a family holiday party rich with games and Slovak traditions.

Mary Ann was a devoted mother. She will be dearly missed by her children and grandchildren on special holidays, at weekly Sunday dinners, and in the daily Wordle Group Chat.

Mary Ann’s love of family and her relentless, quick-witted sense of humor are the qualities for which she will be remembered best.

Services celebrating Mary Ann’s full and extraordinary life will be held on Friday, September 11, at 10:00am in St. Columba Church in Hopewell Junction, NY. This Mass of Christian Burial will be followed by inurnment at St. Denis Cemetery in Hopewell Junction. Family and friends are warmly invited to join together in prayer and remembrance, and to gather afterward in celebration of Mary Ann’s life.

In lieu of flowers, donations would be appreciated in Mary Ann’s honor to one of these organizations favored by Mary Ann: St. Josephs Church of Greenfield Center, NY;  Saratoga Hospital Foundation; or the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
