GUILDERLAND — Samantha Coons, 19, who has lived in Guilderland all her life, is heading toward a career in either health administration (“running a hospital and shaping its culture”) or acting as an economic advisor to policymakers.

ALTAMONT — Audrey Van Buren — wife, mother, and longtime Altamont resident — died on Saturday, April 16, 2016, at Pathways Rehabilitation Center, after several years of declining health. She was 84.
