Greta J. (Gade) Radley passed away on Saturday, November 16, 2019 at Community Hospice Inn at St. Peter's surrounded by her family.
Greta Radley was born in Albany in 1927, daughter of the late John and Elizabeth "Betty" Gade. She was raised on the Gade Farm in Altamont and graduated from Milne High School. She attended Cornell University until she fell in love with and married the love of her life, Ernest F. "Red" Radley in 1947. She enjoyed 50 wonderful years with Red before his death in 1997. Upon moving to Delaware County in 1961, she worked alongside her husband operating a family dairy for 25 years. In 1986, Greta and Red retired from the dairy business and returned to the Altamont/Guilderland area. In later years, Kingsway Village in Schenectady became her home.
Greta was an avid reader, card player, music lover and exceptional pie baker. Throughout Greta's life her family, friends and neighbors were recipients of her constant caring, compassion and kindness.
She is survived by her four daughters – Sharon Shear (Mark); Bonnie Radley; Martha Kemp (Walter); Karen Radley; her grandchildren Sayra Craft and Andrew Kemp; her sister, Nancy Hollomon. Besides her husband, Greta was pre-deceased by her brother "Jack" Gade and her son-in-law John M. Eberhard. She is also survived by her step-grandchildren Brendan Ashley, Nathan (Melissa) Kemp, Jared Kemp, Jordon (Alexis) Kemp, Nichole (Tom) Hurbanek, Coby Shear, Lucas (Jen) Shear, several beloved nieces, nephews and cousins, great grandchildren, grand nieces and nephews, and many good friends old and new.
