Schuylerville, NY - Suddenly, after being stricken at her Hathaway Road home, Carol J. (C.J.) Cummings, 55, passed away Sunday (March 7, 2010) at Saratoga Hospital. Born on March 8, 1954 in Troy, NY, Carol was the daughter of the late Thomas J. White and Esther A. Driscoll and was predeceased by her first husband, George Viall of Schaghticoke. "C.J." was a graduate of Hoosic Valley Central School in Schaghticoke NY. At the time of her death, Carol was employed as a Legal Assistant with Matthew J. Turner, P.C. in Troy NY and had been a legal secretary for over 26 years. She began her career with John R. Patterson in Cambridge NY and in 1985 accepted a position with James J. Reilly, Esq. at 54 Second Street in Troy. Over the course of her career, several attorneys shared office space at 54 Second Street, whom Carol assisted, including David Gruenberg, Robert Smith, Henry Tutunjian, Kyran Malloy, Frank Morgan, Phil Landry, Matthew J. Turner, and Jill Kehn. Carol enjoyed many activities, including her Monday night golf league, the Legal Assistant Group (The LeGals), Country Line Dancing, antiquing, horseback riding and having her childhood dream come true of having her own horse. She also enjoyed traveling and exploring her ancestral roots through trips to Scotland and Ireland with her husband, David. Her involvement with the Schuylerville Lions Club led to her desire to become a tissue donor. She enjoyed spending time with her family, and her greatest pleasure was spending as much time as possible with her precious grandchildren, Tyler and Sophia. Carol was a loving and caring wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She will be truly missed by all whose lives she touched. Survivors include her husband, David M. Cummings of Schuylerville; two daughters, Erika (Sean) Viall-Bushey of Averill Park and Jessica Viall of Jacksonville, FL; twin grandchildren, Tyler and Sophia Bushey; a brother, Gregg (Jude) White of Eagle Mills, the extended Viall Family and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
