Elizabeth Anne Rider

January 6, 1928 - October 19, 2019

Mrs . Elizabeth "Anne" (York) Rider, age 91, of Germantown passed away on October 19, 2019 at her residence. She was born on January 6, 1928 in Oneida County, NY, a daughter of the late Henry "Royce" York and Helen (Clark) York. Anne is survived by her sister Mary Katherine "Kay" (York) Kelley. Anne graduated from Canastota High School in 1945 and graduated with a degree in Home Economics from the State University of New York at Plattsburgh in 1949. Anne later completed additional graduate work in education at Syracuse and Cornell Universities to become a certified teacher. In the summer of 1952, Anne moved to Germantown, NY to become a Home Economics teacher for the Germantown Central School District. During that same year, she met Robert "Bob" Bruce Rider, a local fruit farmer and WWII veteran. The two wed on December 27, 1952. Anne and Bob then had three children, all of whom were raised and educated in the close-knit Germantown community. The couple remained life-long residents and owners of the Rider Fruit Farm. In 2014 Anne was predeceased by her husband of 61 years. Anne will be remembered most as a warm, loving mother and (great) grandmother. The smell of a wood stove and a fruit pie baking in the oven will forever bring to mind cherished memories of Anne and the comfort and warmth of the home she created. Over the years, Anne attended many sports games, school concerts, dance recitals, parties, graduations and weddings, always beaming with pride for her family's accomplishments. Anne loved spending time with her grandchildren; engaging in stimulating conversations about past and present experiences, imparting her skills of knitting, sewing, or baking, with love and patience at all times. As a Home Economics Teacher in the Germantown Central School District since 1952, Mrs. Rider touched the lives of many . Additionally, Anne enjoyed maintaining her flower and vegetable gardens, reading, shopping in Hudson, sharing a meal on her porch, and keeping in touch with family and friends through phone calls and emails. Anne made sure every person who visited her house felt comfortable and at home. The hugs, waves and blowing kisses at the door at every visit will be missed by many. In addition to her sister Kay, Anne is survived by her three children: David (Kathleen) Rider of Hyde Park NY, Richard (Renee) Rider of Coxsackie, NY and Martha Rider of Balston Spa, NY and her 7 grandchildren, Kathleen (Marko) Cvitkovac, Colleen (John) Cielo, Rev. David Rider, Elizabeth Anne Rider, Ricky (Arlene) Rider, Erin Rider and Dr. Jeannine (William Hurley) Rider as well as six great-grandchildren and many loving nieces, nephews and friends. A funeral service will be celebrated on Wednesday October 23rd, 2019 at 11:00am from Christ Lutheran Church in Germantown, NY. Services will be presided over by Fr. David Rider (grandson). In lieu of flowers contributions may be made to St. Jude's Children's Hospital or Germantown Christ Lutheran Church.
