Christine LaDuke Obituary
Christine LaFountaine-LaDuke, 71, of Schuyler Falls passed away peacefully on December 31, 2025 while under hospice care at her home with her loving family by her side.
She worked many years to provide for her family until many health issues made it not capable for her to do so. She dedicated her whole life to raise all her grandchildren who she loved more than anything up until the day she came home on hospice care.
She never let her struggle with being sick stop her from taking care of her babies. She was born in Plattsburgh, New York on 12/24/54 to Ruben and Grace LaFountaine.
Left to cherish the memory of Christine are her loving husband of 49 years Gordon LaDuke, Sr.; and their three children Kimberly (Chester) Hart, Gordon LaDuke, Jr. (Dawn Haase), and Stacey Parrotte; her six grandchildren Trinity, Dakota, Cierra, Caleb, Elijah, and Khloe; her six great-grandbabies and her little dog tootsie.
There will be no services as per her request.
Please feel free to share an online condolence or a photo in memory of Christine.
Arrangements are entrusted to Heidrick-Zaumetzer Funeral Home, Au Sable Forks, NY.
