She was the daughter of the late Julius and Mary (Hochfelder) Slenchuk.
She moved to Greenfield as a young teenager and attended Saratoga High School. Following World War II, she married Donald L. Stanton of Lake Luzerne and settled on Spier Falls Road in Greenfield to start their family.
Her proudest achievement was the raising of eight successful children. Along with her husband, Don, who passed much too soon, she provided a nurturing household, although hectic at times, in giving their children all the opportunities their means could provide.
After Don’s passing in 1974, and the children growing up, she found employment at the Holiday Inn in Saratoga Springs. She worked there a number of years and made many friends.
She enjoyed participating in the Greenfield Fire Department Auxiliary and enjoyed her numerous trips with the Senior Citizens of Greenfield Center.
Proud of her Slovak heritage, as she grew older, she sadly outlived her Slovak friends with whom she could keep her language skills. Mentally sharp till the end and always opinionated regarding politics, her body just needed a long rest. She will be truly missed.
Besides her husband and her parents, she was also predeceased by a half-sister Mary Ann Neahr.
Survivors include her eight children; her grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; and two half-sisters both of Florida.
Services were private and at the convenience of the family.
Arrangements were under the direction of the Densmore Funeral Home Inc., 7 Sherman Avenue, Corinth.
