Obituary for Alyce Virginia Kastner
Millerton, NY - With a heavy heart, we announce the passing of Alyce V. Kastner on August 20, 2023, at the age of 87.
Alyce was born on September 14, 1935, in New York, NY, to the late William and Alice (Murray)
Yeaton.
Alyce was a cherished friend and neighbor and a devoted family member. Alyce is survived by
her loving husband of 57 years, George of Millerton, and her favorite daughter, Michele
of Beacon, NY. She was pre-deceased by her bubbly grand dog (Maizy).
Before living in Millerton, NY, Alyce resided in New Jersey, Hoboken, and Jersey City, in her
younger years. It was in Hoboken at Keuffel and Esser Co. (K&E) where she and George first
met. One of the remarkable chapters of Alyce's life was how George convinced her to leave the
urban hustle and bustle and move to the bucolic countryside.
Alyce had fond memories of the friendships she made over the years. She had delightful,
genuine neighbors in Lakeville, CT, and Millerton, NY. And her employment at the North East
Pharmacy (Rexall Drugs) and Riley's Furniture led to many newfound pals among colleagues and
patrons.
Alyce was renowned for her one-liners, effortlessly brightening everyone's day with her quick
wit and sharp humor. Her ability to craft a memorable quip brought laughter to even the most
ordinary moments, leaving an enduring mark on the hearts of those lucky enough to share her
company. "This house is a circus, and no one is the star", received repeated giggles over the
years.
She loved kids of all ages. She never gave up an opportunity to chaperone a class trip or tell
lively, action-packed stories with stuffed animals as the ensemble cast.
As we remember Alyce, let us appreciate her memories and their impact on our lives. Her
legacy will continue to inspire us to live with purpose, compassion, and, most importantly,
laughter.
At her request, Alyce will be cremated with the scattering of ashes in her home
state of New Jersey. Most likely in a place where she can actively people-watch, sip on an ice-
cold Pepsi, and enjoy a hot sausage sandwich with peppers and onions.
The family kindly requests donations to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105 a cause close to Alyce's heart.
At this time, calling hours will be at the family's discretion. Arrangements have been entrusted to the Scott D. Conklin Funeral Home, 37 Park Avenue, Millerton, NY 12546. To send an online condolence to the family, please visit www.conklinfuneralhome.com
