Obituary

Barbara Card, 83, passed away peacefully on July 3, 2022 at Pine Haven Nursing Home. Barbara was born in Hudson, NY on March 5, 1939. She was the daughter of the late Milford and Maccina (Kronas) Dunspaugh. Barbara graduated from Hudson High School in 1956 and attended Mildred Elley Secretarial School. She worked at Richmor Aviation in Ghent for over 40 years. Barbara had a passion for casinos, shopping, fundraising dinners, dancing and traveling, especially to Las Vegas. In her later years, she enjoyed casino trips closer to home. She also loved animals and happily jumped in the backseat of her niece Karen's car to share the seat with Jimbo for a ride. She and her sister Ellie wore out the soles of many shoes walking around the building at Joslen Commons and then Ghent Adult Living. Barbara is survived by her sister Eleanor Close and her daughter, Judy (Jake) Tice. "Airplane Grandma" will be missed by grandchildren Jackie (Dan) Sweet and John "Bud" Tice, as well as great-grandchildren Ella and Bentley Sweet and special friends, Steven and Olgita Kuzmiak. Barbara was predeceased by her companion and dancing partner for over 30 years, Steve Kuzmiak in 2014. She and Steve were especially fond of polkas. The family would like to thank the staff of the South Wing at Pine Haven for the care and compassion they provided to our mother and grandmother over the last few months, as well as the support you gave us. Thank you to the girls at the reception desk for always having a smile on your face and greeting us by name when we arrived. Not to be forgotten is the entire staff at Ghent Adult Living. All of you, no matter your job, had a part in the wonderful care she received over the last few years. You also provided us with comfort and guidance when we needed it most and we are grateful for all of you. Grave-site services will be held Saturday, July 23, 2022, 11:00am at Cedar Park Cemetery, Hudson, NY. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Activities Department of Ghent Adult Living, 30 Whittier Way, Ghent, NY 12075 or Shriner's Hospitals for Children, PO Box 947765, Atlanta GA 30394.
