Marian A. Asay
February 14, 1928 – November 12, 2025
Marian A. Asay, beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and devoted follower of Christ, passed peacefully from this life, leaving behind a legacy woven with love, laughter, and unwavering faith. Born on February 14, 1928, Marian often joked that she was “born perfect”—a line delivered with the warm humor and sparkle that those who knew her will never forget.
Marian was predeceased by her husband, William E. Asay Sr., and her son, William E. Asay Jr.; and her parents, Marion and Mildred Tuttle ; her brothers, Theodore “Ted” Tuttle, Wilbur “Earl” Tuttle, Bill Tuttle, Bob Tuttle; her sister Dorothy Livingstone and her half-sister, Jane Vero. Their memories remained close to her heart throughout her life.
She is survived by her four sons, who were her pride, her joy, and her life’s greatest blessing:
• James Asay
• Charles (Patricia) Asay
• John (Patti – Deceased) Asay
• Roger (Katrina) Asay
A proud graduate of Trumansburg High School in 1946, Marian carried the values and friendships formed there throughout her life.
Marian’s life centered on her family and her deep bond with Jesus. She delighted in baking—filling her home with the comforting aromas of her lovingly made breads and treats—and she enjoyed nothing more than gathering her family around the table for games, laughter, and connection. Her quick wit and lively spirit brought warmth to every room.
She leaves behind her cherished grandchildren: Christy Ferguson, Karen “Anne” (Dustin) Jones, Stephanie Montgomery, Bryan Asay, and Annabella Asay; and her adored great-grandchildren: Oliver, Warren, and Ranger.
Marian’s memory will be held dearly by all who knew her. She leaves a legacy of kindness, humor, faith, and unconditional love. Her family takes comfort knowing she is reunited with her beloved William and son William Jr., and that her joyful spirit continues to shine in the hearts of those she leaves behind.
May her soul rest in peace, and may her memory be a blessing.
No services will be held. Burial at a later date will be determined. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Family Life Ministries; PO Box 506; Bath, NY 14810 or www.familylife.org/donate.

Jeannie Marie (Tompkins) Babcock, 44, of Athens, PA, passed away peacefully on October 14, 2025 after a courageous, awe-inspiring battle with pancreatic cancer with her family and loved ones by her side.
Welcoming her at Heaven’s gate with loving arms was her mother, Paula (Wright) Tompkins and father, Ralph Tompkins Jr. Jeannie was also predeceased by her grandparents, Mark and Anna Lee (Tyke) Wright and Ralph and Ellen Tompkins; aunts, Melanie (Wright) Horvat, Marjorie (Wright) Vann, Beth Wright; uncle, Howard (Bud) Tompkins; and bother in-law, James (Tiger) White; as well as several beloved pets.
She is survived by her loving husband and best friend, John “JEB” Babcock Jr; daughters, Alexa (Austin) Babcock, Kiara Babcock, and Jaydn Babcock; granddaughter, Piper Jane Hubbell; bonus son, Bryce Burke; sisters, Charlotte Tompkins, Heather (Bill) Franklin, and Cheryl Benjamin; nieces, LilyParker Ennis and Cora Franklin; nephews, Braeden (Lily) Frisbie and Jarren Ennis; mother-in-law, Brenda Shirah; father-in-law, Jack (Sue) Babcock; sister-in-law, Robin Babcock; step family, Laurie Tompkins, Erica Rinebold, Michael Hill, and Kristina White; numerous loving aunts, uncles, cousins and friends, too many to list. Jeannie was loved by so many.
She was so full of love and cared for some many. She did everything she could for everyone and anyone as long as her illness allowed, never wanting to be a burden. One day a time, one step at a time, never giving in until her last breath was taken.
Throughout her tragically short life Jeannie worked for several human service agencies, but her two favorite were Waverly Head Start as a family advocate and her most recent dream career as a Community Base Supervisor at Adelphoi. Jeannie spent her life helping those who needed it the most to get on their feet, both families and children.
Jeannie’s daughters were her light, her joy, and sometimes her biggest frustration as kids can be, but they are also her biggest accomplishment, her legacy. Her family whether 2-legged or four were always her main focus. As an avid dog lover, her babies, Ashur, Max and momma’s boy Daxel were never far from her side.
Much like her mother, Jeannie was never afraid to share her opinion and sometimes came off a little abrasive but only because she loved so hard. She always made sure to let people know, if you didn’t want her honest opinion, don’t ask because she didn’t hold back.
Her smile could light up room, her laugh almost contagious. Even at her sickest she was so beautifully radiant with her never-ending fight and positivity. She was an inspiration to us all. Jeannie’s biggest hope was to be a quarter of the woman her mother was as a mother, an aunt, a sister, friend and wife…she more than achieved that goal!
A time of visitation will be held on Friday, October 24, 2025 from 2 to 4 PM at Blauvelt Funeral Home, 625 Broad Street, Waverly, New York. A memorial service to honor Jeannie’s life will be held on Friday, October 24, 2025 at 4:00 PM. For those unable to attend the services, we will Live Stream the service at 4:00 PM at www.blauveltfuneralhome.com.

Michael Lenetsky (1966-2025)

At the age of 59, Michael Lenetsky passed away in the early morning of September 19, 2025. He was born in Philadelphia in 1966, attending Neshaminy High School before going on to attend Temple University, where he not only earned his B.A. in political science (Class of ’91), but also his law degree (J.D.) in 1994.
Michael had built himself a distinguished career in higher education and administration, having recently celebrated 25 years of working at Cornell. Since 2011, Michael had worked at Cornell as a Senior Department Manager in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology. Prior to that, he was Director of Business Operations for Population Medicine and Diagnostic Sciences at the Animal Health Diagnostic Center, where he previously served as a Senior Grant and Contract Officer. For 25 years he was absolutely adored and beloved by his colleagues and his absence will be deeply felt by many across the campus.
Beyond his work life, Michael was an avid fly fisherman. When he wasn’t working, you could often catch him in a stream casting flies, or in a classroom spreading his knowledge and enthusiasm for the sport with others, young and old. His natural ability to mentor spread outside just the fishing community; during his time at Temple University, Michael joined Sigma Alpha Mu (Gamma Psi Chapter) and later in life after joining the Cornell community, became an advisor for the Beta Chapter, supporting undergraduate students and staying true to his brotherhood.
Michael is proud and grateful to be survived by his partner, Rebekah Puhlman; his children, Riley, Owen, and Clara; and his siblings, Dana Zabarsky, Mara Lenetsky, Allison Hamm, and David Hamm.
Michael will always be remembered for his boisterous laugh, fierce loyalty to his friends, love of live music, generosity, and dedication to his family, colleagues, and community. The way he could captivate a room will never be forgotten, how his face lit up while telling a story, and how a joke charmed everyone around him. His stories, though sometimes relentless, will be told over and over again to remember him, and that grin he would get on his face when his story was finally over will never be forgotten. His legacy will continue through the many lives he touched, and the memories he left with us in this world.
