Colonie- Mary Elaine Dudley, 84, passed away at her home on Wednesday, October 26, 2022. Born in Albany, she was the daughter of the late Theophilus "Mac" and Genevieve Cook McNay.
Mary was a softball manager for many years for Colonie Girls Softball. She enjoyed gardening, playing card games, trivia (especially Jeopardy!) reading, day trips, yard sales, bowling, family dinners and General Hospital. Mary trapped, had spayed/neutered and rehomed or released dozens of feral cats and was recognized by Friends of Animals for her efforts.
Mary worked as a waitress/sous chef for a number of local restaurants, most recently for the Kuhn Senior Center in Colonie.
Mary is survived by her daughters, Kathleen "Kate" Bergeron, Jennifer and Karen Dudley.
In addition she will also be missed by her grandchildren, Jeremy, Austin and Logan Dudley and Evan and Connor Bergeron. She is also survived by 5 great-grandchildren: Brianna, Alexis, Lucy, Mason and a baby girl due in February. She is also survived by several nieces, nephews and cousins.
Mary is predeceased by her siblings, Larry and Tom McNay and Jane Zeh, by her lifelong friend, Shirley Lochner who passed in September of 2021 and William Dudley...who was a great Dad to his three daughters whom were often told "You kids are my reason for living."
The family would like to recognize her special son-in-law, Bruce Bergeron, who she loved dearly and who was so helpful to her throughout the years. Also, much gratitude to Tracey Noll, who went above and beyond with her love and support in every aspect.
In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to, Community Hospice. 445 New Karner Rd., Albany 12205 or an animal rescue organization of your choice.
