Cora Green Barney, age 95, passed away December 19,2012 at the Chestnut Park Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, Oneonta, NY.
Cora was born December 26, 1916 to Grant and Bertha (Tamsett/Lent) Green at the family home in West Oneonta.

took great pride in their home, keeping the home well-maintained inside and outside. Cora had several collections of bells, thimbles, teacups, teapots, and various interesting plates.
Cora continued to live at the West Oneonta home for about five years after Harold died. When her health failed and she could no longer live there she became a resident of the Chestnut Park Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in 2007.

Dear Esther and Family: Our sincerest condolences on the loss of your Mom. We know exactly how you feel because we lost our Mom in August. Mere words can't express how much we loved our Moms but we can be assured they are both with the Lord today looking down upon us as our guardian angels in heaven. As the psalmist writes: "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints." (Psalm 116:15). Be assured that God's love and grace will bring you through this time of loss and sadness. Please let us know when you will have the memorial service for Aunt Cora.
With much love, in His precious name,
Robert, SunHee, David, Christine and Family here in Virginia.
