MILLERTON — Janet Elaine Murphy, 80, a lifelong area resident, stepped into eternity on Thursday, April 14, 2022, at Sharon Hospital in Sharon.

 Born on April Fools’ Day in 1942, Janet left these words by which to remember her: “God gave me life, wonderful parents, a very good and loving husband, two children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and the promise of eternal life in heaven because I believed that God sent His Son, Jesus, to die for my sins; and that’s no April Fool!”

 At Janet’s request, there will be no calling hours. Her family will hold a private graveside service at a later date. Memorial contributions may be made to North East Baptist Church, P.O. Box 531, Millerton, N.Y. 12546 or the Millerton Fire Company, P.O. Box 733, Millerton, N.Y. 12546. Arrangements have been entrusted to the Scott D. Conklin Funeral Home, 37 Park Avenue, Millerton, N.Y. 12546. To send an online condolence to the family, please go to www.conklinfuneralhome.com.

While the chill of recent weeks has driven many Northwest Corner residents inside and their energy bills up, others have taken advantage of the extended cold by practicing some of our region’s most treasured — and increasingly rare — pastimes: ice sports.

I am one of those who goes out rather than in when the mercury drops: a one-time Peewee and Bantam league hockey player turned pond hockey enthusiast turned general ice lover. In the winter, my 12 year-old hockey skates never leave my trunk, on the chance I’ll pass some gleaming stretch of black ice on a roadside pond.
