STEVENE TERPENING



 Steven J Terpening was born on 1/3/1952 to the parents of Simon and Geraldine Terpening. He was a long life parish holder of St. Peter’s in Rosendale N.Y. He was baptized, received 1st holy communion, confirmed, and graduated from Saint Peter‘s school in 1966. In 1970 he graduated from Kingston High School in Kingston, New York and attended Ulster Community College, following graduation. In April 1974, he was hired by New York telephone and retired from the phone company in June 2010.

Steven has been a member of the Rifton Fire Department since January 1970 and will be celebrating 53 years with the company. Steven was asked by Jim Carey to join the AOH in December 2000 and became a member in January 2001. He is currently a member of the honor guard and is the stage manager for the Bill Yosh stage along with Billy Taylor for the Hooley on the Hudson.

Steven’s Irish roots, come from his mother, Geraldine Doyle. Her father Edmond, came to New York from Dundalk. Margaret her mother and grandmother, came from Limerick. Edmonds mother Maria Carey was from Tipperary and his father Eamon Doyle was from Carrick on Sur. I am very Proud to be chosen as the 2024 Grand Marshall of the St. Patrick’s Parade in Kingston N.Y.

IRISH PRINCESS

2024 ST PATRICK’S PARADE

TAMZIN DOYLE


My name is Tamzin Doyle. I am 12 years old and a seventh grader at Millbrook Middle School. I am a practicing parishioner at Immaculate Conception Church. In my spare time, I enjoy going to Girl Scout meetings, reading and hanging out with friends. I also do Irish step dance, as well as play the bagpipes. My Irish heritage on my mom’s side goes all the way back to my great-great grandmother, Katherine Whalen. When she was just 16, she immigrated by herself from Ireland to New York in order to find a better life. She came right from County Carlow. My mom has minimal memories of her, as she passed when my mom was young. On my dad’s side, my great-great-great grandparents came from County Galway between 1867-1870. I am honored to be the 2024 Irish Princess 


BEARER OF ST. PATRICK

2024 ST PATRICK’S PARADE

MAYOR OF THE DAY

2024 ST PATRICK’S PARADE

PATTI GILPATRIC


I Patricia (Patti) GILPATRIC A lifelong Kingston Native feel so Blessed to receive AOH Mayor of the Day Honor. & can’t wait for all it ENTAILS. THANK You to All involved! I am the Proud Daughter of James F. (Digger) Gilpatric (4 generations (+ History) of Undertakers, his Mother, Marie Murphy was NYS youngest female Licensed Undertaker) and Jeanne M. McCutcheon RN Graduate from Benedictine School of Nursing like her Mother, Janet. SO, with the Marriage of Gilpatric/McCutcheon my Roots are obviously from Ireland and Scotland. On my bucket list dream trip to Emerald ISLE, I researched to find the Gilpatrick's were 1st part of the "Borderland" Clans of Scotland & England. Conflict & feuding in these ancient territories united these clans and they had their own "LAW Code" with emphasis ON NEIGHBORS assisting in recovering property. In 1603 the Scottish Parliament condemned certain families for lawlessness and began breaking up the old border code, forcing them to sign an "Undertaking" to remain Protestant & Loyal to the Crown, thus becoming known as THE “Undertakers”! How ironic.  They were dispersed & granted Land in Ireland previously held by Catholic IRISH OR sent directly to the New WORLD MOST of my Family came from County Cork Ireland and settled in Maine & MA 1800's eventually settling in the Hudson Valley.  My thrice great Aunt was Mame Molloy who upon the death of her fiancé, became a Benedictine Nun (Sister Aloysia) who was foundress of the Hospital on her cousin's O’Reilly’s property. My Great Grandfather James M. Murphy was President of local AOH and a member of the Friendly Sons of ST. Patrick which he marched in the NYC Parade for Years. My Trip was Amazing & all those stories Dad told me of the Irish Beauty, Traditions, Culture, Scenery, and Friendly Folks were all true!   Family names include Murphy, Smith, Molloy, McCaffery, Neenan, Grimes, Riggins, Gilpatric, McCutcheon. SO, when you hear me say Hi Cous...I really mean it :)

 Growing up above the Funeral Home on BWAY, I learned to ride my bike in the new double level church parking lot. and my neighbor friends were the Priests and Nuns. I was the 1st graduating class of Kingston Catholic School, then KHS, SUNY and chose a career as a Dietitian in Healthcare. 40+ years at the Hospitals where I also served as a Eucharistic Minister. I served on the NYS Dietitians Assoc. ASSEMBLY & was President of the Mid- Hudson Dietetic Association. I'm an avid volunteer. I joined LAOH in 2015 & was President for  2020 & 2021. Such a Joy to be a part of, my favorites are the Hooley, the 20 wk. club Golden wheel travels, & getting the AOH/LAOH BREDA McMahon memorial library set up in the St. Mary’s office building.  As parents know my True unmeasurable love the past 38yrs doing All I can being Mom to my Jamie & Lucas and Grandma to my Jacob & Benjamin. I truly enjoy Life, People, & time with Family & Friends.  May Neighbors respect you, Trouble neglect you, the Angels protect you, & Heaven Accept you
