Auxiliary member honored in Lloyd
By MARK REYNOLDS
[email protected]
Last week the Lloyd Town Board
honored the late Martha M. Dispensa
[1935-2018] with a Proclamation that was
read by Supervisor Paul Hansut.
Dispensa, a life-long resident of the
Town of Lloyd, married Vito Dispensa
at St. Augustine’s Church on January 7,
1957, who predeceased her in 2015. She is
survived by two sons, John and his wife
Lisa, Anthony and his wife Lorraine,
and granddaughters Kristen, Danielle,
and Jonni Elizabeth, siblings Teresa
Dispensa, Paul Attard, and John Attard,
and several nieces and nephews. She
was predeceased by her daughter Krista
Anna Dispensa, her brothers Joseph, and
Thomas Attard, sisters Delores Martinez,
and Cecilia Figueira.
Dispensa was a member of the Ladies
Auxiliary of the American Legion Post
#193 since 2003, the Altar Rosary Society
and the Catholic Daughters since 2004.
Dispensa was long-time member and
past Treasurer of the Mid-Hudson Senior
Citizens and also served as the Town of
Lloyd Court Clerk from 1986 to 2004. She
was an associate member of the Town of
Lloyd Democratic Committee.
The Town Board’s Proclamation
concluded with the statement that
“Martha M. Dispensa was known
for her jovial manner, her generosity,
her friendship to all and her devotion
to family and community [and] will be
deeply missed by her community, friends
and family.”
Supervisor Hansut said Dispensa,
“had a special meaning to everyone up
here, we’re going to miss her. She and

I had a lot of fun together, a lot of good
conversations, especially around election
time we always had a good time together.”
Hansut said it is always a bit unsettling
when a life-long couple in the community
are both gone.
“We’re going to miss them very
much,” he said.
Councilwoman Claire Winslow said
Martha, “always did a lot for me and I
wouldn’t be here [on Town Board] if it
wasn’t for her family.”
Councilman Joe Mazzetti said Martha
will be greatly missed.
“Every time I saw her she had a great
big smile and gave me a hug...It’s sad
when you lose someone so great in our
community,” he said.
Councilman Lenny Auchmoody spoke
to her sons Anthony and John, who were
in attendance.
“Your parents are the people who
will be fondly remembered and sorely
missed,” he said.
