Lionel Barthold Obituary
It is always difficult saying goodbye to someone we love and cherish. Family and friends must say goodbye to their beloved Lionel Barthold of Lake George, New York, born in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, who passed away at the age of 99, on September 24, 2025. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Lionel Barthold to show support.
As we bid farewell to this cherished soul, solace is taken in the memories held dear — the laughter shared, the wisdom imparted, the moments of quiet reflection in their presence. Though Lionel may no longer walk among us, his spirit lives on in the echoes of his kindness, the warmth of his embrace, and the light of his enduring love.
He was predeceased by: his former wife Jeanne Barthold; and his siblings, Walter, Stanley and Sylvia Barthold. He is survived by: his wife Deborah Barthold; his sons, Skip Barthold (Julie) of Philadelphia, PA, Scott Barthold (Joanie) of Lyme, NH, Richard Kline (Laura) of Saratoga Springs, NY and Julian Barthold (Lucy) of Beverly, MA; and his sister Louise Keeling of Del Mar, CA. He is also survived by many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and cousins.
A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, October 18th 2025 at 11:00 AM at the Harrisena Community Church (1616 Ridge Rd, Queensbury, NY 12804).
