ANDES - Carol Jacoby Tubbs, 86, a resident of Andes since 1962, passed away at Bassett Medical Center in Cooperstown, on Sunday, Jan. 26, 2020.
She was born in Peekskill, on Feb. 5, 1933, the daughter of William Earl and Mary Veronica (Howard) Jacoby.
Carol married Donald B. Tubbs on Feb. 27, 1954, in Croton-on-Hudson.
After her children were all in school, she went to work at SUNY Delhi as a secretary for several department heads until she retired after 22 years of service.
Carol loved making and selling jelly in her retirement years. She became known as the "Jelly Queen" in Andes. She truly enjoyed talking to everyone that stopped by to see her. She also had a passion for traveling that included visits to all 50 States. Carol's love of life was contagious to all who knew her. She loved to sing, dance and listen to all kinds of music, especially her Neil Diamond CD. Knitting was another passion of hers; hundreds of mittens and scarves were shared with friends, relatives and anyone who needed them.
She is survived by her daughter,
Susan and husband, Ray Magill of Vergennes, Vermont;
son, Bruce and his wife, Kathleen Tubbs of Ticonderoga;
son, Jeff Tubbs and girlfriend, Lisa Marasa of Andes; and
daughter, Nancy and husband, Greg Greenlow of Suwanee, Georgia,
as well as grandchildren, Jason Sabourin, Caitlin Magill, Meagan Tubbs, Carly Tubbs, Justin Stratton (fiancée, Amanda Galunas), Ryan Greenlow, Brianna Greenlow;
great-grandchild, Jaxon Stratton;
and sisters, Margot Vaccaro of East Hanover, New Jersey and
Gail Russell of Arlington, Virginia.
Carol was predeceased by her husband, Donald (2004);
son, William (Buck) (1990);
as well as her sisters, Velma Sheridan and Joan Gera.
The family thanks the staff at Hampshire House in Oneonta and the doctors and nurses at Bassett Medical Center in Cooperstown, for their care and support.
Funeral and committal services will take place in the spring, at a time and date to be announced.
At that time, the family is asking that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Andes Fire Department.
Funeral arrangements are entrusted to Hynes Funeral Home in Margaretville.
