Ms. Flynn, age 87, of Warrensburg, passed away peacefully at Westmount Health Facility in Queensbury.
She was the daughter of the late Dante and Eveline (Tancredi) DiGiacomo.
She was multi-talented and expressed herself through many genres of art in her personal and professional life. She was a homemaker, mother and loyal friend. Her generosity and fiery personality will be sorely missed.
As a young lady living in Long Beach, she completed cosmetology school and earned a living as a hairdresser. She told of having Jimmy Durante as a client, among others. After moving up north, she was employed by Erlangers department store as a commercial artist. She was responsible for drawing the fashion ads to be printed in the weekly newspaper. She also waited tables at the Colonial Arms and the Tiki in Lake George. She was a sign painter for Magic Forest, 1000 Acres Ranch and several other local businesses. It would not be unusual to find a stock car parked in the driveway which she would be adorning with names and numbers.
She was a member of the Warrensburg VFW Women’s Auxilary and an honorary member of Over-the-Edge Quilters and Crocheters.
She crocheted and donated many throw blankets for the veterans at the Stratton VA Hospital in Albany as well as newborn baby hats and booties for various area hospitals. She donated many handmade quilts to the Double H Hole in the Woods.
She loved country music and as a young woman played the upright bass with a local country band.
Most of all, she loved spending time with friends and family.
Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her beloved husband of 45 years, Harold Flynn, and stepson, Frederick Flynn.
She is survived by four children; grandchildren; stepchildren; one sister; sister-in-law and her husband and she also leaves behind several great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and cousins.
She spent the past two years at Westmount Health Facility, where she enjoyed making new friends and visiting with old ones.
At Carol’s request, there were no calling hours scheduled.
Arrangements were under the care of the Alexander Funeral Home.
