Jeanne C. Hults
Jeanne Catherine Hults was called home by our Heavenly Father on April 23, 2023, at the age of 73. She was born to her loving parents Harold and Claire on November 28, 1949, in Kingston, NY. She grew up in Lake Katrine, NY with her brother Harold “Man” (Mary), and her cousins who she thought of as siblings. Jeanne spent her youth riding horses, taking flying lessons, driving her red convertible, and adopting any stray animal that crossed her path.
After graduating from BOCES School of Nursing, Jeanne went on to dedicate her life to helping people. She served her local community by volunteering for the Grand Gorge Fire Department and Rescue Squad, as well as spending 35 years of her career at Margaretville Memorial Hospital. She was an accomplished Licensed Practical Nurse who did everything from welcoming babies into the world to holding patients’ hands in their final moments.
On December 1, 1971, she married the love of her life, Leonard Hults. Together they built a life, starting in Willow, NY, and eventually relocated to Grand Gorge, NY, where they raised their children Leonard Jr. (Kendra), Jenny (Romeo), and “their baby” Rebecca (Benjamin). Her happiest times were spent on family vacations to Maine to see her lighthouses, camping trips to North Lake, picnics, and snuggling watching movies. She also enjoyed hitting bonuses at the casino and sharing her nightly tequilas on the back deck with her Honey. Jeanne loved spending time with her grandchildren Leonard III “Snoop”(Shannon) and Jesse(Morgen), and was so proud of the caring young men they have become. Family was everything to Jeanne; she was a fierce Mama Bear when it came to her kids, including her many “adopted” kids. Jeanne’s strong devotion to her family was a virtue taught to her by her beloved Grammy Jennie.
Calling hours will be at Miller Funeral Home in Roxbury, NY, April 27, 2023, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. and the Funeral Mass will be April 28, 2023, at 10 a.m. Sacred Heart Church in Stamford, NY.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Grand Gorge Rescue Squad. The family would like to express their gratitude for the care they provided Jeanne.
