THE VILLAGES, FL — Patricia Ann Yager (McGee) (Hedge) Ritchie passed away on October 3, 2024 in The Villages, Florida. She was born on September 25,1942 in Greenfield, NY, the daughter of Mildred Burton and Francis (Holly) Drew.
A proud graduate of Saratoga Springs High School, Class of 1962, Pat pursued her passion for hairstyling at Royal Beauty and Barber in Schenectady, NY. She built a successful career as a talented hairdresser and stylist, beginning with a salon attached to her home in Greenfield, NY. In 1980, she relocated her business to Saratoga Springs, and after a decade, she constructed a new building on Ballston Avenue, where she combined her home and business. She continued to serve her loyal clients there until her retirement in 2005, after which she moved to The Villages, Florida. Even in retirement, Pat continued to do what she loved, working part-time at Cal’s Barber Shop. She worked up until the day she passed.
Pat had a vibrant spirit and a love for life. She was always impeccably dressed and had a special fondness for Halloween, playing golf, and spending time with her children and family. She had a way of making every moment special, and her warmth and humor left a lasting impact on everyone she met.
She is survived by her son, Kent B. Hedge (Dorota) of Clearwater, FL; her brother, Nelson Yager (Linda), and sister, Holly Drew (Don Roy), both of Saratoga Springs, NY; seven cherished grandchildren, niece and nephew, Kristina (Richard), Brett (Sarah), Tyler (Kelsey), Sydney, Garrett, Melodie and Alek; her daughter-in-law, Susan Hedge and her former husband Thomas Hedge and her lifelong friend and “partner in crime,” Paula Carr.
Pat was preceded in death by her beloved son, Keith B. Hedge and her loving husband Robert Ritchie who recently passed away on Monday, April 28, 2025.

LYNNWOOD, WA — John Nelson LaDue, 84, passed away peacefully on March 19th, 2025, at Swedish Edmonds Hospital in the state of Washington. Born on March 14,1941 in Saranac Lake to his parents Bertha Mae Duquette and George LaDue.
John was a graduate of St. Peter’s Academy in Saratoga Springs and a veteran of our armed forces in South Korea. Before retiring he was employed by Beneficial Finance for over 30 years as a Branch Manager. Afterwards he would spend his days with loved ones, read, and ride his bicycle to stay in shape. His arch nemesis (if I were to say) was the Dentist, whom he despised but made a pact with regardless, to the benefit of both parties. Remember to brush your teeth!
John enjoyed playing sports such as basketball, softball, and golf. He especially loved visiting the Saratoga Race Track with friends and family to watch the horses and hang out. John was also an avid fan of music and photography, sharing the joys of both with his family as well as his ability to cook a mean pork chop.
In addition to his parents, John was preceded in death by his wife, Karen Kivelin-LaDue, and his siblings, Albert (Bing) LaDue, Frank LaDue, and Mary Ellen Tarantino. He leaves behind his brother, Jimmy LaDue; his daughter, Kari Dailey; his son, Brent LaDue; his stepson, Ian Davis; and his close friend (and ex-wife), Marguerite LaDue. John also leaves behind several grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and cousins.
He will continue to live on in our hearts.
