BARBARA L. CALL
ALFRED, NY - Barbara L. Call, 75, of 34 Glen St., passed away Wednesday, March 21, 2012, at McAuley Manor Nursing Home in Hornell, NY, after a protracted illness.
Barbara was born to Ralph and Matilda (Wurm) Crooker, in New York City, on December 9th, 1936. She was raised in the Bronx and graduated from St. Simon Stock High School. After high school, Barbara worked as an administrative secretary on Madison Avenue, before marrying and raising her children. She moved to Carmel, NY (Putnam County) in 1971, where she lived for many years, working as a secretary, night receptionist, and a check-out clerk at Grand Union in Carmel and Mahopac, NY. She moved to Alfred in 2006 to be closer to family.
Barbara was a social butterfly who loved to talk and make friends. She often sat outside on the porch of the Rose Apartments, greeting and chatting-up passers by. She enjoyed going to the Collegiate for breakfast and embarking on trips to Hammondsport for Mexican food, but especially she loved a good cup of coffee.
She is survived by her two children, Christine (Robert) Leun of Walkertown, NC, and Dr. Andrew (Elizabeth) Call of Alfred Station, NY; granddaughters Olivia and Juliana Call of Alfred Station, and Melanie Leun of Walkertown, NC; and her brother-in-law, Francis Younger.
She was predeceased by her parents Ralph A. Crooker and Matilda (Crooker) Dattoli, and her sister Linda (Crooker) Younger.
In lieu of flowers, memorials in honor of Barbara L. Call may be made to the Allegany County Office for the Aging, or to the Alfred Area Food Pantry c/o Alfred Station Seventh Day Baptist Church PO Box 7777, Alfred Station, NY 14803.
Barbara specified that no services be held. In accordance with her wishes, red balloons will be released by her family at a later date. You may see them floating by.
