SIDNEY, NY — Helen Shubert Meszaros, 92, passed away Friday, Dec. 12, 2003, at The Hospital in Sidney.
She was born Sept. 12, 1911, at Expanse, Saskatchewan, Canada, the daughter of Bernard and Lydia (Laepple) Shubert.
The family lived in Canada until 1918, when they came to the United States. They lived briefly in Laurens, before buying a farm in Acme, N.C. After a year there, they returned to Delaware County and purchased a farm on Stilson Hill, off the Franklin-Treadwell Road. In 1924 they moved to a farm in the Ouleout Valley, near Franklin.
Helen attended the old one-room Blue School and later graduated from Delaware Literary Institute and Franklin Central School in 1931. She was also a graduate of Delhi Tech.
While attending beauty school in New York City, Helen met Stephen C. Meszaros. They were married Nov. 26, 1940, in Baltimore, Md., and opened a beauty shop in Astoria, Long Island. In 1942, they sold the shop and moved to Unadilla.
During World War II they worked at the Scintilla Division of the Bendix Corp. in Sidney. In 1947, they purchased a home in Leonta, near Franklin. Stephen continued to work at Scintilla (now Amphenol) and Helen ran a poultry business. Stephen passed away May 2, 1991, and Helen moved to Sidney in 1993.
Besides her husband and parents, she was predeceased by three brothers, Herman, Louie and Paul Shubert; and four sisters, Nellie Allen, Irma Pearce, Emma Skidmore and Lilly Shubert.
She is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Stephen and Donna Meszaros of Phoenix, Ariz.; two sisters, Tilly Hull of China Grove, N.C., and Elsa Haney of Delhi; two brothers-in-law, Howard Pearce of Unadilla, and William Haney of Delhi; and many nieces and nephews.
Helen was a longtime member of the Franklin United Methodist Church.
A service to celebrate her life will be held at a later date. She will be interred next to her husband in the Evergreen Cemetery, Unadilla.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Catskill Area Hospice, 542 Main St., Oneonta, NY 13820 or to the Franklin United Methodist Church, 515 Main St., Franklin, NY 13775.
