Saratoga Springs, NY Emma Theresa (Igler) Gregory passed away Wednesday, July 20, 2011 at the Wesley Health Care Center just one week after the festive celebration of her 101st birthday. She was born on July 12, 1910 in Boone County Kentucky. She was predeceased by her parents, Hedwig and Charles Rost; her sister, Anne; her first husband, George E. Igler and her second husband, Elroy F. Gregory. Survivors include her daughter, Anne E. Burton of Rensselaer; her son, George H. Igler (Susannah) of Saratoga Springs; grandsons Christopher J.

Tess was a dedicated artist and her paintings were displayed at several art galleries including Munson Williams Proctor Institute in Utica, Kirkland Art Center in Clinton and the Arts Center of Old Forge. She was always ready for a new adventure hiking, camping, cruising, you name it! She was very independent and creative in her daily living. Tess was a mighty good golfer. Her wry, infectious humor made her fun to be with, both on the golf course and at gatherings of family and friends. Before moving to Saratoga Springs in 2005, Tess was a snowbird in Mount Dora, Florida and summered in Old Forge, New York. We celebrate Tesss long, full life. Burial will be at Riverview Cemetery in Old Forge, New York at a later date.
