Granville, NY – Barbara Alice Varney, age 55, passed away following a brief illness at Rutland Regional Medical Center on January 19, 2023. Barbara was born on May 28, 1967, in Cambridge, NY, the daughter of the late Raymond and Florence (Martelle) Matteson.

Barbara was the loving wife of Henry Varney. She was truly the love of his life, and that’s why they were married on Valentines Day in 1992. They shared 31 amazing years together.

She was also very dedicated to her job at Granville Elementary School where she made many friends and grew especially close to some of them. Another part of her job she loved was seeing her great nieces and nephews every day and they will always remember coming into school and finding a little note and some candy on their desk from Aunt Barbara.

Barbara loved gardening and catering to her dog Teddy whom she spoiled because he was her “child”. She also enjoyed spending time with family. When she wasn’t working, she loved to go berry picking with her sister Rosie and nieces Jennifer, Nicole and Barbara. One particular time berry picking Frank was pulling Barbara and Rosie in the cart behind the four-wheeler and the cart came unhooked, tipped up and they came rolling out laughing hysterically. That was a memory they cherished and laughed often about. Barbara was very close to her family, her nieces whom she considered daughters to her, will cherish their memories forever. She loved to go to bingo with her Jenny, and coffee and conversation was always good with April, Barbara, Nicole and Jenny. The trips with Aunt Barbara and Uncle Henry to the Great Escape and many fairs, were always a wonderful time. She was there for every milestone in their lives and will be deeply missed.

She was predeceased by her parents, three brothers: Kenneth, Richard and Christopher, her sister Rose Monroe, a nephew Kenneth Matteson and a great niece Hannah Braymer.

Left to love her eternally is her husband Henry, her beloved dog Teddy, brothers Gregory Matteson of N. Granville, Raymond Matteson (Karen) of ME and step-daughter Billi Jo Rathbun (Rob) of Granville, a step-son Henry Jr , of Granville, a step granddaughter Courtney Harwood (Katelyne)of Granville, nieces April Matteson (Mike) of Whitehall, Crystal Taylor (Eric) of Whitehall, Barbara Monroe of Granville, Nicole Monroe (Ryan Hoyt) of Granville, Jennifer Braymer (Paul) of Granville, Pamela Lacelle (Brett) of NY, Valerie Daigle of VA, Sarah Matteson Fosmer of Granville, Tonya Matteson of VA, Adriana Matteson of NY and five nephews Jason Matteson (Heidi) of Granville, Jeremy Matteson of Granville, Gregory Matteson (Jessica) of TX, Andrew Matteson of NY and Joseph Monroe of Granville.

Sue was born on January 4, 1921 in Granville, NY the daughter of the late Alex and Helen (Flisko) Zidoviski.

She was a graduate of Granville High School and lived her entire life in this community. Upon graduation she undertook housekeeping jobs which eventually led to working for the Berkowitz family caring for their son. Over the years she worked in many area businesses, Telescope Casual Furniture, Kazon Dress Shop in Poultney, Whitehall Coat Shop in Whitehall, Nora Lee Lingerie in Granville, Scotties Gift Shop and finally at J & J Lingerie in Granville.

When she gave birth to her daughter, which was a joy in her life, she undertook making most of Michelle’s clothes along with knitted and crocheted items. A true labor of love. They were items that today, still mean the world to Michelle. Sue eventually undertook quilting as well. She was always passionate about her flower and vegetable gardens. When her infirmities made it impossible for her to do the tasks required she would say to her caregivers, “How about we go out and weed in the garden today?” The “we” she was referring to was them, but she sat close by and watched.

She enjoyed attending gatherings at Young at Heart in Poultney and the friendships she made there through the years. Sue looked forward with anticipation to attend the Farmer’s Market.

She also enjoyed time spent at Michelle and Terry’s home for family gatherings or to enjoy their gardens and other domestic projects.

John Bernard Villano, 72, of Granville, died peacefully on July 25, 2018 in Rutland, Vermont.

John was born in Granville, attended Granville High School, and went on to stay very active in the community for all of his years. An avid Yankees fan, he loved serving as an umpire for the Granville Little League. He was formally an active member of the Granville Band, and also assisted with the youth group at St. Mary’s Church. His favorite memory was vacationing in Maine with his special cousin Gale Bernard, who cared for him until the end of his life.

John was a lover of music, developing a special fondness for country music, which was often playing in his room if you dropped by for a visit. When he wasn’t busy with his word searches or challenging friends to a game of Trivial Pursuit, he could be found socializing among the common areas of Holbrook Adult Home during his time there. No matter where you went with John, someone always knew him. He was a Granville native through and through.

John always had a smile on his face and had an endless supply of jokes ready to brighten your mood at any time of day. Even in the hospital, he had a reputation for making the nurses laugh. He also had an eidetic memory, and often shared stories from his early years in incredible detail.

John Bernard Villano is survived by his sister Anne (Mark Train) of Hartland, Wisconsin, in addition to loving nieces and cousins. John was preceded in death by his parents, Dominick and Mary (Bernard) Villano of Granville. A graveside service was held Saturday, July 28, 2018 at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Cemetary in Middle Granville.
