Robert “Bob” Condry

Robert “Bob” Paul Condry, 58, of Melbourne, Florida, died on January 9, 2019, after a brief struggle with a degenerative brain disease. He was the beloved husband of Helen (Raboin) Condry, with whom he recently celebrated 31 years of marriage.

Born in Marlborough, Massachusetts, on February 9, 1960, he was the youngest child of John and Dorothy (Blenkhorn) Condry of Melbourne, Florida. He attended Hudson High School. Bob worked in the supermarket industry as a meat cutter for many years in Vermont and later in Massachusetts.

In 2001, they moved to Florida to enjoy the beautiful weather year-round. Bob was employed at Derrico Construction, and later at Young’s Communications until his illness in September of 2018.

Bob loved camping and traveling with Helen. He became an avid photographer and created many beautiful videos and pictures of their travels. He was an excellent cook both at home and at St. Mark’s United Methodist Church, where he was part of the kitchen ministry with his friends Robbie Dean and Dan Sheline.

An avid Red Sox, Patriots, and NASCAR fan, he spent many enjoyable hours watching games and races with his parents, son, and brother-in-law. Growing up, he fondly remembered playing sports with Kevin Colena, and cruising Main Street Hudson on Friday nights in Jeff Brown’s Cadillac.

Bob has fond memories of concerts with his brother and sister and family vacations at “Castle in the Clouds” in Falmouth. Later, holidays spent at the Raboin family gatherings and making pina coladas are other favorite memories. He enjoyed fishing and clamming on Cape Cod with his friend Bob Nelson, watching Eliza and Ethan grow into fine adults, spending time at Paul Mey’s house with the Y-com family, working and laughing with his friend Terry Cravens, camping in the Smoky Mountains, cruising in Alaska, and hiking in the Andes to Machu Picchu with Helen.

Besides his parents, Bob is survived by a daughter, Eliza; a son, Ethan; his wife, Cherie; and five grandchildren; a brother, William; a sister, Linda Bowen, and her husband, Thomas; and many nieces and nephews. He was the son-in-law of Roger and Marie Raboin and brother-in-law of many siblings.

Mary Anthony Cox Rowell

Mary Anthony Cox Rowell, of Craftsbury, died peacefully on January 15, 2019, at The Manor nursing home in Morrisville.

Mary Anthony was born in Montgomery, Alabama, on April 14, 1932, the only child of Roy and Nora (Fly) Cox. Her mother was an accomplished pianist, and Mary Anthony showed signs of exceptional talent at the piano from a very young age, taking on piano students of her own by the time she was 12.

At 16, she moved to France to further pursue her musical training and remained there for the next decade. She attended the Conservatoire National de Musique and studied with renowned teachers such as Nadia Boulanger on harmony and analysis, Robert and Gaby Casadesus, and Alice Gaultier-Leon on piano.

Her experience in Paris in the immediate post-war period contributed to her lifelong love of French language and culture, which she would many years later take enormous pleasure introducing to her grandchildren on successive trips to Paris, as well as her penchant for thriftiness.

Upon her return to the United States, Mary Anthony spent several years living and teaching in her home state of Alabama. In 1961, she moved to New York to attend the Juilliard School, and almost immediately upon her arrival her credentials as a European-trained expert in ear training were recognized by the school, which promptly tapped her to assist with its ear training program. Mary Anthony was appointed to a full teaching position in the department in 1964 while simultaneously working on her bachelor of music and subsequently Master’s of Music degree in piano as a student of Rosina Lhévinne and Jeaneane Dowis. She would remain at Juilliard for the next five decades, chairing the ear training department and earning a reputation as a legendary pedagogue.

Many of Mary Anthony’s former students at Juilliard have written of the seemingly infinite breadth and depth of her knowledge of music theory, and how their initial terror at attending their first classes with “Miss Cox” gave way to enthusiasm as her techniques clearly bore fruit. Common themes in their tributes are her consistently fair and caring approach to each and every one of her students, and her wise and candid guidance, often laced with her very distinctive brand of humor delivered in an Alabama accent she knew how to modulate for maximum effect.

The 1960s were destined to be a very significant era in Mary Anthony’s professional career and in her personal life. In addition to her responsibilities at Juilliard, she was recruited by Rudolf Serkin to teach at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. She also taught at the Dartmouth summer program and at the Universite de Montreal. Never one for idleness, in 1966 she joined her friends and fellow musicians Ann Rylands, Mary Lou Rylands, and Allan Birney as founding members of the Craftsbury Chambers Players, a chamber group that has conducted a summer concert series in northern Vermont continuously since. She long served as the Players’ music director. Mary Anthony’s ties to Vermont were further cemented in 1974, when she married Morris Rowell, a widowed business owner and dairy farmer, whose family she had known since her first summer in the state. As could have been expected of a person as supremely organized as Mary Anthony, she quickly devised a work schedule that would have her commuting from Vermont to her teaching position at Juilliard every week, an astonishing rhythm she maintained until her retirement at the age of 81 in 2013. Mary Anthony was a loving and devoted wife to Morris. They talked on the phone twice daily while apart several days each week of the academic year.

Two of Mary Anthony’s five teenaged stepchildren would ultimately follow her footsteps to Juilliard and to careers as musicians. Her spacious Manhattan apartment housed two generations of immediate family attending college and graduate school and beginning new careers in New York City. Her generous, open-door policy was greatly enjoyed and deeply appreciated by her many far-flung relatives and friends whenever they had cause to be in New York. After she and Morris became “empty nesters,” their sprawling farmhouse in Vermont became the Craftsbury Chamber Players’ summer residence, always filled to the brim with great music, much laughter, and excellent food.

She was predeceased by her husband, Morris, of 43 years, in December 2017.

Her survivors include her step-children: Margaret Rowell and her partner, Saul Treviño, of Craftsbury; Mary Rowell of Craftsbury, Frances Rowell of North Bergen, New Jersey, John Rowell and his husband, James Blue, of New York, New York, and David Rowell of Craftsbury; beloved grandchildren: Katie Oswald and her husband, Timothy Oswald, of Keene, New Hampshire, Annie Rowell of Craftsbury, Carolyn Rowell and her partner, Elijah Mayhew, of Hardwick, and Alden Blue and Effie Blue of New York, New York; and great-grandchildren Eden and Atticus Mayhew of Hardwick, and Zoë Oswald of Keene, New Hampshire. She is also survived by her sisters- and brothers-in-law Louise Kinsey, Eunice Kinsey, Alta Rowell, Marvin Rowell and his wife, Georgette, Ruth Rowell, Wilbur Rowell, Harriet Grenier and her husband, Charlie, and their families; as well as by many dear cousins in the Davis, Howell, Kahoe, Kerr, Nutt and Robinson families.

Mary Anthony’s family would like to express sincere gratitude to the excellent caregivers at The Manor and the in-home caregivers of Northeast Kingdom Homecare, who provided loving comfort to her in her final years.

A memorial service is tentatively planned for the summer during the regular season of the Craftsbury Chamber Players. Her ashes will be interred in a private service at the East Craftsbury Cemetery, where her final resting place will be next to her mother Nora and husband, Morris.

Contributions in Mary Anthony’s memory can be made to the Craftsbury Chamber Players, P.O. Box 37, Craftsbury, Vermont 05826 or online at www.craftsburychamberplayers.org.
