Norma Jane (Martin) Mitchell was born in Batavia, NY, on July 18, 1935 to Helen Marie (Moore) Martin and Nelson Purdy Martin, the youngest of three sisters. Norma graduated from Batavia High School in 1953. After completing a post graduate business course, Norma went on to being a cub reporter for the Batavia Daily News, Teen Director at the YWCA, and teletype operator for Western Union.

In 1956, while working at Western Union, Norma met Kenneth Mitchell, a recent Air Force veteran maintaining teletypes for the company. The two married on August 29, 1959, in Batavia and settled briefly in Amsterdam, NY. After Ken completed studies at Albany State Teachers College, he accepted a position as a social studies teacher in the Seneca Falls Central School District and the couple settled in Seneca Falls in the fall of 1960 where they remained to raise three children.

Norma was a member of many area groups, including the Red Jacket Fire Department Auxiliary, the Methodist Church, the Ruth and Naomi Circles, the Council of Churches, the local Girl Scouts, Seneca Community Players, Seneca Singers, Seneca Falls Historical Society, the Senior Follies, Trinity Episcopal Church, and local church choirs. As her children grew older, she worked outside the home, including as office secretary at the Methodist Church and in-home care aide, but she spent most of her time volunteering. Norma loved music, was an accomplished pianist, and claimed she could remember every song she ever heard.

During the last four years she suffered a series of health issues before going home to Heaven on January 5, 2022. She will be so greatly missed by her loving family and all the many friends she made over the years. She will be remembered as a positive, loving, and softspoken person who wasn’t afraid to share her thoughts and the joy of music wherever she went. Norma was pre- deceased by her parents and her two sisters, Naomi and Barbara. She is survived by her husband, Kenneth; children, Catherine Marcuccilli of Pittsford, Steve (Jennifer) Mitchell of
Geneva, and Ellen (Steve) Stevenson of Edmond, Oklahoma; six grandchildren, Kaylynn Jemison, Jared and Lauren Marcuccilli, and Alexa, Jazmyne and Airiana Mitchell; as well as many cousins,
nieces, nephews and extended family.

A celebration of Norma’s life will be held at Trinity Episcopal Church, 27 Fall Street, Seneca Falls, on Saturday, April 23 at 2:00 p.m. A reception will follow the service at the Gould Hotel (108 Fall
Street). The family requests those attending wear a mask. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to the charity of your choice. Special to Norma’s heart were her two churches,
Seneca Community Players, the Seneca Falls Historical Society, and area animal shelters. Arrangements are in the care of Sanderson-Moore Funeral Home, 32 State Street, Seneca Falls.

His goal was to make everyone smile, and “to just be happy.”

Harold “Harley” Harloff reunited with his wife in Heaven on Thursday, April  7, 2022.  He had celebrated his 97th birthday on March 1st with his family at his adopted home - Village Green Nursing Facility in LeRoy.

Harley had a unique way of “telling it like it is” without offending, and always with a smile.  He attended Lycoming College in Pennsylvania to become a preacher.  He transferred to Syracuse University to continue his studies; however, he lost his brother in World War II and came back to Batavia to operate the family farm with his father Bert and mother Annabelle.  Harley was very well known in the cabbage world and often visited the Fresh Express headquarters in Florida.  He also had side jobs, selling propane gas with his buddy Glen Lambein and an outdoor paint product plus a logging business.  Harley was a good provider for his family and a strong man of faith.  He sold the family farm to his friends at My T Acres when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and his son Gregg and grandson Stephen continue his legacy with the Call family today.  After recovery, he began a Lincoln Log business with his son Doug and enjoyed meeting people at the New York State Fair and throughout the region. 

Harley was a strong man of faith, and raised his family with integrity and Christian values.

Harley was active in the Batavia Sertoma Club, and fondly remembered the hours spent at the ice skating rink they created in a parking lot at John Kennedy School in Batavia.  He also was instrumental in the building of the First United Methodist Church building on Lewiston Road as a church Trustee, and volunteered with the youth to paint the inside of the building and mission work by harvesting squash to give to local food banks.  Harley was also active on the Grandview Cemetary Board of Directors and was often found supervising the grounds upkeep on the Clinton Street site, and volunteering to mow the lawn at the Methodist church Lewiston Road location.  His friend Dick Siebert tapped him to become a Genesee County Elections commissioner in the early 2000s, which he thoroughly enjoyed.  It was his way to give back to the community that had given him so much.  In the later years, Harley enjoyed his Saturday morning “Barber Conable” coffee meetings with the boys and appreciated their friendship.

Harley was a wonderful caregiver to the love of his life Jean Harloff.  He supported her as a schoolteacher and mentor to so many children in the Batavia area during her 37 ½ years in education, and cared for her in her final years.  Harley sold his home and move into Washington Towers, where he made many friends and enjoyed giving managers Vicki and Valerie a “hard time”.  Ill health forced Harley to move to LeRoy Village Green in May 2021 and he was given the dignity and care he deserved and needed. 

Harold Harloff is survived by his children, Gregg (Susan) Harloff of Batavia, Marilyn (Todd) Helming of Amherst and Douglas (Judy) Harloff of Oakfield.  Grandchildren Stephen (Luis), Harloff , Geoffrey Harloff and Erika (Robert) Waver, Katie (Matt) McCracken of Batavia, Joshua (Katie) Harloff of Oakfield, Emily (Adam) Drilling Weed of Orlando, FL, and Kristen Drilling of Batavia, also 7 great grandchildren, nieces and nephews. He is survived by his sister Marjorie Long of Batavia and dear friend Beverly Gerkin and her daughter Dawn   His brother Donald and sister Ruth Higley Weber predeceased Harold.  His beloved wife Jean Harloff passed on April 9, 2009.  Sister in law Marjorie Harrower Spaulding, and brother in law Robert and Carol Harrower have predeceased Harley.

The family is very grateful for the patience and care given to Harley at the Village Green.
