Madeline Ann Schaller, 93, of Kingston

Madeline Ann Schaller, a kind woman loved by her family and friends, died peacefully Monday, Nov. 13, 2017, at home.

A lifetime area resident, Madeline was born Oct. 30, 1924, in Kingston, N.Y., a daughter of the late Anna (Hawley) and Joseph Sessler.

Madeline loved going to Atlantic City, going out to eat, and being with her family. Thank you to all who helped care for her in her elderly years so she was able to stay at home.

Madeline’s greatest joy was seeing her family she leaves behind: her three sons, Robert Schaller, John Schaller and his wife Anna May, Jeff Schaller and his wife Suzanne; and her daughter, Joanne Chapman and her husband, Mark. She was grandmother to Tracy, John, Missy, Chrissy, Robbie, Jeffrey, Alyssa, Kalli, Casey, and Jesse; and greatgrandmother to nine.

She was predeceased by her husband, Robert Schaller; her brothers and sisters, Catherine Murphy, Marie Peach, Francis Paladino; Frank Sessler and Angelus Sessler; and her late daughter-inlaw, Millicent Schaller, who was a special part of her life.
