LOCAL LEGENDS LOST: A LOOK BACK AT THE PRESS & SUN BULLETIN OBITUARIES

Since its establishment in 1931, The Press & Sun-Bulletin has served as a cherished institution in the community, providing essential news and information to the residents of Binghamton and surrounding areas. Among its most important features are the obituaries, which serve as a poignant reminder of the lives lived and the memories cherished by loved ones. In this article, we will delve into the world of Press & Sun-Bulletin obituaries, exploring their significance, the process of creating them, and the stories behind the names.

The Press & Sun-Bulletin obituaries are more than just a list of names and dates – they are a testament to the lives of individuals who have made a lasting impact on their communities. For those who have lost loved ones, the obituaries serve as a way to pay tribute, to celebrate the person's life, and to share memories with others who may have known them. "An obituary is a way to tell the story of someone's life," says Elaine Ferretti, obituary editor at the Press & Sun-Bulletin. "It's a way to share who they were, what they liked, and how they made a difference in the lives of those around them."

From notable community leaders to cherished family members, the Press & Sun-Bulletin obituaries tell the stories of individuals from all walks of life. According to a review of the paper's archives, since 1931, over 50,000 obituaries have been published, each one a unique and significant document in the history of the region. "We receive anywhere from 10 to 15 obituaries a day," adds Ferretti. "Each one requires attention to detail, and we strive to make sure that every family feels supported and respected during their time of need."

Creating an obituary for the Press & Sun-Bulletin involves a collaborative effort between the family, funeral home, and the newspaper itself. The first step is to receive the information, which usually comes in the form of a death notice or a phone call from the funeral home. "We also have a team of reporters who cover local news and may come across obituary information," notes Ferretti. "The next step is to verify the accuracy of the information, gathering details such as the person's name, age, residence, education, occupation, and any notable achievements or interests."

Once the information is verified, it's time to craft a compelling and respectful obituary. This process involves working closely with the family to include personal details and anecdotes that reflect the person's character. According to Ferretti, "we always try to include a quote or a story that captures the essence of the person." For example, a recent obituary for Binghamton's mayor, Richard Cusick, included a quote from his favorite poet, Robert Frost, to reflect his love of literature. "The goal is to write something that will be meaningful to the family and the community," she explains.

The significance of the Press & Sun-Bulletin obituaries extends beyond the families directly affected by the loss. They serve as an important historical record, providing insight into the lives of individuals who have shaped the community over the years. By preserving these stories, the newspaper helps to ensure that their legacies live on. "Obituaries are not just about the people who have passed away," notes Ferretti. "They also serve as a reminder of the impact that they had on their lives, and the lessons we can learn from them."

One notable example of the impact of obituaries can be seen in the story of D. Kirsti Johnsen, a Binghamton resident who passed away in 2015. According to her obituary, Johnsen was an accomplished artist who spent much of her adult life traveling the world and embracing new experiences. Her obituary included a description of a beautiful painting she created while living in Italy, which captures the essence of her adventurous spirit. "Her story is a testament to the power of art and travel to open our minds and broaden our horizons," notes Ferretti.

In addition to celebrating the lives and achievements of individuals, Press & Sun-Bulletin obituaries often provide insight into the broader cultural and historical context of the region. For instance, a look back at the obituaries from the 1960s and 1970s reveals a vibrant and music-loving community, with many obituaries paying tribute to the lives of local musicians and artists. "We've had some fascinating stories documented in the obituaries over the years," notes Ferretti.
