Saratoga Springs, NY – Mary K. Duval passed away on January 1, 2023 at home surrounded by her loving family. Born March 4, 1920, she was the daughter of the late Karl and Louise Hazard Voskanyan. Mary graduated from Saratoga Springs High School and went on to attend Skidmore College before marrying Robert John "Jack" Duval on October 20, 1940.

Along with her husband and son David, Mary owned and operated Duval Vending, Co. and Hazard's Music. In the late 1960s they also operated the youth center located at the corner of Broadway and Spring Street. She was known as the "Neighborhood Mom"; watching, loving, and taking care of many neighborhood children, who many now as adults still refer to her as "Aunt" Mary. She was a past President of the Women's Republican Club, as well as a member of the Chamber of Commerce and the St. Peter's Mother Club, a lifetime member of the Catholic Daughters of America; and on her 100 ^th birthday became an Honorary Elk.

Mary loved to travel, and in her lifetime that love took her not only across the country but the world. She has been on many cruises and visited Alaska, France, Russia, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Canada, California, and the east coast- but she would always return to Marathon, FL where she spent her winters. The city even honored her on her 100 ^th birthday, making her an official "conch" ("konk").

In addition to her parents, Mary is predeceased by her husband of 65 years Robert "Jack"; 2 sons Robert John Duval II and David Alfred Duval, Sr.; 2 sisters Louise Welch and Margaret Maloney; her brother-in-law Timothy Maloney; and her grandson Christopher Duval. She leaves behind her daughter Marianne (John) Still; daughter-in-law Maureen Duval; 2 grandsons Robert John Duval III and David A. Duval, Jr. (Sydney); 2 granddaughters Mary Jo Nilsson (Peter) and Carol Still (Erin Goodspeed); 4 great grandsons Robert Duval and David, Patrick, and Jack Nilsson; her great-granddaughter Laura Duval and many nieces and nephews. All, who will remember her fondly especially when they sing her trademark song, "A Bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck."
