Marion C. Hendrick

East Greenbush- Marion C. Hendrick, 91, of East Greenbush peacefully entered eternal life on Sunday, June 15, 2025. Marion grew up in Albany and, attended St. Joseph’s Academy. Marion was the beloved daughter of John J. and Catherine M. (Lattimore) Kinsella. She was a devoted wife to her husband of 66 years. She was a loving and supportive Daughter, Mom, Grandmother, Nana, Great-Grandmother (Big Nana and Nene), and Aunt. Marion worked for SEFCU for 26 years before retiring. During her tenure at SEFCU, she worked in the Alfred E. Smith Office Building at the time when only two employees ran that office. Daily upon closing the office, she would take all the transactions for the day up to the State Campus via the United Traction Company’s Western Ave bus. It was clearly a different time. As SEFCU began to expand, she later moved to the Empire State Plaza. Marion loved to be in the company of others, especially anything involving her family. She smiled easily and often. She has a contagious laugh which would have everyone laughing along with her even when they did not know why. She loved her children most of all. As a mom she offered unconditional love and guidance with a red paddle when needed. She taught her children to understand the difference between right and wrong, to work hard, to be compassionate to others, to love wholeheartedly and to laugh always. She was proud of their accomplishments, celebrated their successes and mourned their losses. She also applied those values to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, minus the red paddle. Marion was predeceased by her husband, Frank N. Hendrick, Jr. She leaves behind her son, Richard J. Hendrick, Sr. (Mary), her daughters, Linda J. Fylak (Art) and Kathleen A. Hendrick (Ed Yaggle). She is survived by her grandchildren, Keith Pinheiro (Nikki), Sherri Krug (John), Cindy Hendrick (Jeremy Libby), Richard J. Hendrick, Jr. (Stephanie) and Michala Hendrick and eleven great grandchildren. The family wants to thank the Hospice Nurses who provided loving care to our Mom, Nicole Harrington for the friendship and Physical Therapy she offered during her illness, and especially to her Granddaughter Sherri Krug. Sherri was phenomenal to both our Mom and Dad, running errands, taking them to Doctor appointments, and bringing them coffee from Dunkin daily. During her recent illness Sherri came multiple times a day with her family to assist with her care and entertainment. Mom’s Great Granddaughters, Kayleigh and Samantha Krug acted as her personal nurses and comedy team keeping her laughing till the end.
