Summit Lake, Argyle Susan J. Harrington, 72, of Summit Lake, passed away on Monday Aug. 19, 2019 as the result of a motor vehicle accident. Born on Feb. 5, 1947 in Winchester, MA, she was the daughter of the late Robert and Effie (Wilson) Harrington. A graduate of Ithaca College, Sue was previously employed by John Hancock Information Services in Boston, MA. Leaving Boston in 1988 she settled in at Summit Lake in Argyle, NY. Locally Sue worked for TV Data and Travelers Insurance before starting her dream job as a baker. As co-owner of Effie’s Baked Goods, Sue enjoyed baking cookies along with breads, rolls, and eventually bagels in the lakeside bakery. Serving on the Saratoga Farmers Market board Sue took on the position of Registrar. After spending countless early mornings in the bakery, Sue retired from professional baking in 2011. Sue loved everything about the outdoors; all the seasonal sports but especially skiing, hiking, ice skating, swimming, and golfing. A birdwatcher, Sue kept the birds around her house very well fed throughout the year. As an avid Boston sports fan, Sue could always be found cheering on the Red Sox or Patriots. Needless to say her wardrobe consisted of a lot of red, white, and blue. Sue will be lovingly remembered and missed dearly by her wife Joyce Paul and their beloved cats, Ziva and Clarence along with her siblings, Gene Harrington and Judy Ratta-Harrington of Londonderry, NH; Bruce and Arlene (Pietkewicz) Harrington of Warrensburg, NY; and Nanci Harrington and Fred Cox of Sutton, MA. Also left to cherish her memory are many nieces and nephews - Meg Harrington, Laurie Harrington (Allan Zajac), Kevin Harrington (Larissa Bassarab), Jan Harrington (Josh Davis), Jonathan (Rebecca) Cox, Melissa (Charlie) Bay, Matthew (Wendy) Cox, Patrick (Kaccee) Cox, Daniel (Juliana) Cox and fourteen grand nieces and nephews. Besides her parents, Sue was also predeceased by her beloved nephew, Adam Cox and many aunts and uncles. Friends may call from 2 to 4 on Friday, Aug. 23, at the Argyle Fire. Dept, Route 40, Argyle.
