Rest in Peace: Rebecca Ann Shaughnessy Dobie

The family moved to Lake Clear, where she worked for Saint John’s Catholic Church. Becky worked with the Foster Care Program of Franklin County, giving children a safe home until they could be placed permanently. She helped raise funds for the Lake Clear Little League, and was co-owner with her husband and manager for the Lake Clear General Store. Becky and her husband moved to Ballston Spa, where she enjoyed her flower gardens, walking through Saratoga State Park and kayaking.

Becky loved Thanksgiving. She would cook and bake for days; some Thanksgivings we would have 20 to 25 family members and friends for dinner, some arriving on Tuesday and staying until Monday.

She loved to travel, but nothing topped the love for her children, her 12 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Her children are Monica Isabella and her husband, Tony, of Saranac Lake, Eric LeClair and his wife, Sara, of Schroon Lake, Tracy Zollo her husband, Scott, of Rochester and Ryan LeClair and his wife, Kristen, of Wilton.

Becky is survived by her sister, Betty LeMay of Minerva, and her brother, David of Schroon Lake.

There will be no Mass or funeral services. The family asks that when you are at dinner tonight, hold hands and say a prayer for her and tomorrow night say a prayer for your own family.

Arrangements are by Cremation Funeral Services.
