Saratoga Springs, NY - Elizabeth Sage Walton passed away peacefully Wednesday, July 22, 2015 at Wesley Health Care Center. Liz was born in Rochester, NY on May 27, 1922 to the late Harry and Erma Sage and grew up there, the middle daughter, with two sisters, the late Emily and Janet. She attended Buffalo State Teachers' College where she met her husband, Robert W. Walton, Jr. They wed in 1942 and following World War II settled in Saratoga Springs to raise a family and become active members of the community. Once her children began school, Liz joined the work force as a part-time clerk at Division Street Elementary School and retired some 30 years later from the Greenfield Center School as a library aide. In their retirement years Liz and Bob enjoyed touring the country in their RV, and after having spent several seasons as "snowbirds", became year-round residents of Bradenton, Florida. The couple became active and well-loved volunteers at Manatee Memorial Hospital in Bradenton. In 2003 they returned permanently to Saratoga Springs to be close to family. Liz cared for Bob who had suffered a debilitating stroke until his death in 2007. She was also predeceased by a grandson and her son-in-law. Survivors include her daughter, Deborah Walton Wyman of Concord, NH and her son Robert W. Walton, III of Saratoga Springs along with daughter-in-law Debra Poukish Walton; grandchildren Jessica Rhude, Jeremy Walton and Allison Wyman. Also surviving her are 3 great-grandchildren, Kylan and Camden Rhude and Jacelyn Walton and several nieces and nephews. The family would like to thank the staff at Wesley and the staff and many caring volunteers at Saratoga Hospice for the care they provided her in her final days. There will be no calling hours or funeral service, but a memorial interment service will be held at Greenridge Cemetery at the convenience of the family. Arrangements are under the direction of the William J. Burke & Sons/Bussing & Cunniff Funeral Homes of 628 North Broadway, Saratoga Springs (584-5373).
