Maryellen Jobes – January 23, 2022

Bristol/Honeoye:  At age 66, Maryellen passed peacefully on January 23, 2022, surrounded by her family.  She was born in Rochester, NY on February 27, 1955 to the late George and Wanda (Sokolski) Skromak. Survived by her husband of 39 years, Kenneth Jobes and children; Ryan Jobes (Lily Curtis-Harris) of Fairfax, CA and Devon Marie Fikes of Brighton; grandson Cole C. Fikes; and sister Elizabeth Rizzo of Irondequoit; also survived by a wealth of nieces, nephews, friends, and extended family.

Maryellen lived enough for several lifetimes in her 66 years. She spent her early days in Rochester, where she fell in love with the rock n’ roll spirit. She would sometimes share stories of seeing Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and The Rolling Stones perform in their prime. She finished high school while living in Sarasota Florida.

Without ever having set foot in the state of Colorado, she moved to Breckenridge, where she spent her days skiing, fishing, and creating friendships that lasted the rest of her life, including her husband of 39 years Ken Jobes. In the early 80’s she gave birth to her first child Ryan in a ski clinic at the base of Peak 9 in Vail CO!  A testament to her dedication to take advantage of every last snow day that she could. Soon after, she and her young family relocated to Southern Maine where she worked as a paralegal, and a few years later gave birth to her daughter Devon.

By the late 80’s she had moved back to the greater Rochester area to be close to her parents, eventually settling in Bristol, NY. This is also where she began her career in Real Estate, working with Dick Kraft on and off for the better part of 25 years. In the 90’s she was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease that required near daily visits to the hospital and multiple surgeries. This diagnosis and intensive treatment had no effect on her continued ability to be an amazing mother, wife, and friend.

Many people know Maryellen from her days pouring drinks at the Honeoye Pub where she was a co-owner for over a decade. During that time she also invented her wild garlic wing sauce that’s talked about to this very day. The last decade or so of her life was spent in retirement and as a loving grandmother to her grandson Cole, whom she loved more than anyone else on this earth.

Maryellen was also an avid consumer of literature and a lifelong learner, who read several books a week for most of her life. She would even complain from time to time that she had already read all the good books at the local library. She was a dear friend and counsel to many people, always willing to stay up all night talking about anything and everything. No matter how long you knew her, she always had a story to tell that you had never heard before.

Family and friends may call on Friday, January 28th, from 3pm-6pm at the Kevin W. Dougherty Funeral Home Inc., 8624 Main Street, Rte 20A, Honeoye, NY where Maryellen’s Funeral Service will be held at 10am on Saturday, January 29th.  Burial to follow at Lakeview Cemetery, Honeoye, NY.  Memorial contributions may be made in her memory to the Honeoye NY Food Pantry.

Dale L. Kriedemann – January 21, 2022

  

Livonia, NY:  At age 70, Dale passed at his home, with family by his side, on January 21, 2022.  He was born on July 10, 1951 in East Aurora, NY.  Predeceased by his father Joseph Kriedemann.   

He leaves his wife of 37 years, Mary (Cicero) Kriedemann and children; James (Jeong) Robinson of Franklin, TN, Andrea (Robert) Rafanelli of Woodstock, GA and; grandchildren, Paige, Chloe, Robert, and Mia; mother Jean Crone of Honeoye; sister Linda Kriedemann of Springwater; brothers,  Paul Kriedemann of Syracuse and Eric (Romy) Crone of Spring Valley, NY; mother-in-law Rosemary Cicero; brothers-in-law Frank Cicero (Bob Altavena) and Joseph (Cheryl) Cicero; sisters-in-law Antionette Easley and Monica (Scott) Buchan.  Dale is also survived by many nieces, nephews, neighbors, and friends.   

All those who knew Dale, knew that he always had a smile on his face and valued serving others.  As a U.S. Veteran (Army), he found his passion for helping others when he laid the foundation for  the first drug and alcohol counseling program for military personnel serving in Vietnam.  After his time in the service, he entered the Tool and Die trade, where he worked for Roehlen Engraving for nearly twenty eight years. As a member of the Steelworkers Union he demonstrated his charitableness by working for the common good within his industry. Eventually, these experiences led him to Livonia Central School, where he could be seen lending a hand, problem solving a classroom crisis, running from task to task, but best of all,sharing the insatiable smile that had the ability to brighten even the most stressful day. 

Outside of work, Dale could be seen sharing his adventurous side with his beloved wife, Mary.  Through the years, these adventures found them flying planes, riding motorcycles, and boating.  Although he enjoyed life’s adventures, he was truly a simple man. He enjoyed mowing his lawn on his John Deere, watching the Buffalo Bills, partaking in political discourse, but most importantly, he relished in his time with family and friends.  He could always be seen sitting in his recliner taking in every moment as he watched the family that he helped to build.  This was by far, his greatest accomplishment. 

A graveside service and burial will be held privately in the Summer at St. Michael’s Cemetery, Livonia, NY, with military honors.  A Celebration of Life Gathering will also be held with information to follow at a later date.  In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in his memory to the Livingston County Hospice, 2 Murray Hill Drive, Mt. Morris, NY 14510 or the Conlon-Mulvaney American Legion Post 1779, 6317 Marshall Road, Conesus, NY 14435.  To send a condolence or share a memory please visit:  www.doughertyfuneralhomes.com

Edward Ernest Johnson – January 15, 2022

Canadice:  Edward “Eddie” Johnson, born in Warsaw, NY on September 22, 1946, to Archie and Mabel Johnson (Spencer), transitioned peacefully on the morning of January 15, 2022.  Eddie graduated from Monroe High School in 1964 and attended Monroe Community College.  He was an employee of Eastman Kodak Company for 39 years and served in the US Army Reserves.

Eddie will be remembered as a devout husband, father, grandfather (“Poopa”), and friend.  Known for his quick wit and wisdom, Eddie always enjoyed a good conversation (or argument) and cherished the time with his family.  His family will remember the many vacations, filled with laughter, food, fun with his grandchildren, and the occasional euchre game.  Eddie was a life-long learner, whose curiosity meandered through topics like politics, history, philosophy, music and art.  Eddie passed on his love of learning and knowledge to his children and grandchildren.  His love for his wife and family were the center of his existence. He would often say that his legacy was defined by his children and the family that he and his wife, Dolores, built together.

Eddie is survived by his wife, Dolores, three children, Aaron (Lisa) Johnson, Amanda (David) Hershey and Ryan (Kim) Johnson, and grandchildren Liam, Anna, Leah and Ronan.  Predeceased by his parents, his sister Diane, and his grandson, Ethan.
