Gina Marie Klett, 53, of Owego, New York, passed away on November 9, 2026, at home surrounded by her family after her courageous battle with cervical cancer. Born on December 31, 1972, in Frankfort, New York, Gina lived a life filled with love, laughter, generosity, and a lot of sass. Gina was a loving and generous woman with a personality that was impossible to miss. She was sassy in spirit with the loudest cackle in the room. She cherished her family and friends and found some of her greatest happiness in bringing people together. Gina worked for more than 20 years at NYSEG, where she served as a Lead Analyst. Throughout her life, she also found joy in the things that made everyday moments special. She loved cooking and baking for family and friends, hosting gatherings, and making sure everyone had a place around the table. Shopping was another favorite pastime, and she especially loved decorating for Christmas and making the holiday season special. A devoted Pittsburgh Steelers fan, Gina especially looked forward to football season. Being a season ticket holder and traveling to Pittsburgh with her daughter, Miranda, to cheer on their team created some of their most treasured memories. Those trips were about more than football; they were special times shared between Gina and her "beauty". Gina is survived by her mother, Gail Maggiolino; her daughter, Miranda Beeman, and favorite son-in-law, Zachary Beeman; her brothers, John Burress (Joan) and Scott Burress; her nieces, Lindsay Palmer (Nick) and Jennifer Burress; her nephew, Ryan (Munkholm); and her special great-nephew, Julian Palmer, and great-niece, Jolee Palmer. She was preceded in death by her prince, Charles Klett; her father, John Burress; her sister-in-law, Kimberly Burress; and Step-father Richard Maggiolino. Gina will be remembered for her generous heart, unmistakable laugh, and the countless memories she created with those fortunate enough to know her. She will be deeply missed by all that were blessed to know her. Funeral services will be held on Monday, November 16, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at Estey, Monroe & Fahey Funeral Home, 15 Park Street, Owego, New York. Burial will follow at Waits Cemetery in Owego.

Debra Louise Jones Obituary
If we chose God as our Father, we have nothing to fear.

No tears are worth my journey.

The Masses said will be my victory!

I decided to write my own obituary strangely enough because I wanted it written from my heart and not written listing my accomplishments from cradle to grave in a format or the one where they all try and add the "Remember the day when she" into it or try and create one poetic last stanza about my life.

Other than giving birth to two wonderful and sometimes hair-raising children, Erica and Daniel, marrying my gracious, understanding, precious, lovable and humble husband Daniel and working on my relentless "work in progress life", focusing on Jesus-I have done very little.

The truth is, or my version of it is that I lived the most imperfect life in a world that God did truly make perfect.

I was honored to be a volunteer since 2012 devoting time and energy to beautifully and collectively decorate St Patrick's Church weekly and looked especially forward to the holidays. I also took to volunteering at Southside fire department earning the highest grade on the state exam after finishing BEFO.

My glory was vegetable garden, flowers, food canning, outdoors and projects with my husband around the home and especially attending Mass at St Patrick's Church regularly.

Debra is survived by her loving, devoted husband Dan, her 2 children; Erica and Daniel, precious grandchildren; Abbigail, Garrett, Bryor, W***y and Caden. She is also survived by siblings; Cheryl Warren (Roger), Diane Duran, Carole Gasbarra, Louis Gasbarra, Lisa Conklin (John); several nieces and nephews and families.

A funeral Mass for Debra will be held on Friday, November 6, 2026 at 11 o'clock at St Patrick's Church, Owego NY. Prior to the funeral Mass, a Devine Mercy Chaplet will be prayed and offered for Debra's soul. Please join us at 10:30am to pray in her honor.

Burial will be at St Patrick's Cemetery following the Mass.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks (especially at Debra's request) to have Masses offered for her. Please call St Patrick's Church or any Catholic Church to set up a date in her honor.

Blake Christopher Jackson Obituary
It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of Blake Jackson, a beloved son, cherished friend, and vibrant young soul. Blake was born on March 18, 2009, in Johnson City, NY, and his life, though brief, was filled with joy, love, and adventure.

Blake was the treasured son of Nichole Pousseur and Kyle and Holly Jackson. He was loved by his grandparents, Dan and Nina Jackson, Dan and Diane Bolton and Mark Pousseur. He was cherished by his siblings, Aubrey and Doug Adams, Calla Jackson and Lily Austin. He was so excited to be a part of his new niece' life, Hazel Adams. He had many aunts, uncles and cousins who will all miss him greatly.

As a senior at Whitney Point, Blake was known for his adventurous spirit and a deep love for the outdoors. Whether he was fishing, shooting trap, or kayaking, Blake found solace and excitement in nature's embrace. His enthusiasm for life was contagious, and he often inspired those around him to seek their own adventures.

An athlete at heart, Blake was passionate about track and field, with a particular fondness for pole vaulting. His dedication to the sport was evident in his commitment and the joy he derived from competing. But beyond his athletic prowess, Blake was celebrated for his quick wit and infectious smile, traits that could light up any room and lift the spirits of those around him.

Blake was also a natural listener, someone whose loyalty and kindness made him a steadfast friend. His ability to connect with others through empathy and understanding was a gift that touched many lives.

The family invites friends and loved ones to join them in celebrating Blake's life on November 8, 2026, at 2:00 PM at the Owego VFW, located at 207 Main St, Owego, NY 13827. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of your choice in Blake's memory, honoring his legacy of kindness and generosity.

Blake's presence in our lives was a gift, and while he may no longer walk among us, his spirit will forever remain in our hearts. His memory will continue to inspire us to embrace the joys of life, to be adventurous, and to cherish the bonds we share with one another.

Doloress J. Frintrup, 83, passed away on October 19, 2026, at her home in Owego.

Dolores was born on August 14, 1943, in Albion, PA to James Walter and Evelyn (Hale) Cooley. Dolores was the oldest of six children and was often like a second mother to her younger siblings.

The family moved to Conneaut, OH when Dolores was young. She attended school there and graduated from Conneaut Senior High School among the class of 1961. She went on to attend college in Otterbein, OH, before becoming a computer software engineer. After retiring, she moved to Owego in 2000 to be closer to her sister, Wilma.

Outside of work, Dolores could most often be found with her hands in soil. She kept many plants- both indoors and outdoors- but she especially loved her flowers. When her hands weren't busy in the garden, she enjoyed making crafts. She made all her Christmas cards for family and friends and took on many embroidery projects over the years. If you saw Dolores out and about, it was likely at a craft fair or Tioga Gardens.

One of Dolores' great passions in life was animals. She nearly always had one or two rescues, and her home was never empty for long.

Dolores was predeceased by her parents; and two siblings, William Cooley, and James Lloyd Cooley.

Dolores is survived by three siblings, Wilma Betcher, Mary Cooley, Gary (YoungI) Cooley; five nieces and nephews; her pet dog, Eli; her cat, Cali; and her many remaining plants.

Estey, Munroe & Fahey Funeral Home is honored to assist in Dolores' care.
