Fredolyn A (LaVallee) Mitchell
Dan McClelland
Fredolyn passed away while being cared for at Mercy Living Center, Tupper Lake N.Y where she had been residing since December of 2021.
She was the daughter of the late Bill and Edith LaVallee. She was preceded in death by her husband Vincent (7-7-2010) after 60 years of marriage. She was also preceded in death by four siblings: Jean Sparks, Judy Churco, John LaVallee, and Bill LaVallee.
Fredolyn was a devoted mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She was the epitome of a true home maker. Her talents were expressed daily in caring for her home and family. She enjoyed baking, cooking, sewing, and knitting.
Her business sense was evident in the dress shop she owned as a young woman before marriage, a seasonal soft ice cream stand she owned and ran with her husband for 10 years, and later a yarn & gift shop. She later worked as the Deputy Clerk for the Town of Altamont from which she retired.
Fredolyn has one surviving sister Ann Beauchamp (Dick) of Tupper Lake. Her five children; Ann Hoover (Bill) of Lititz, PA, Collette Choate (Matthew) of Tupper Lake, Paul Mitchell (Mary) of Tupper Lake, Donna LaMere (Chris) of Tupper Lake, and Danielle Poirier (Kathy) of North Fort Myers FL. She also leaves behind nine grandchildren and five great grandchildren.
The family would like to thank the staff of Mercy Living Center for the care they provided our Mom.
Funeral Services are planned for Friday, February 24, 2023. Calling hours are 12 – 2pm at the Frary Funeral Home and a funeral mass at St. Alphonsus Church at 2:30pm in Tupper Lake.
