Adrienne Keyes Wiese of Louden, Tennessee, formerly of Hyde Park, New York passed away peacefully on November 2, 2021. She was predeceased by her husband of 70 years, David Bevier Wiese. Her eldest child, Alice Hauver also predeceased her. She is survived by Alice's husband Russell Hauver of Durham, North Carolina, James Wiese and his wife Linda of Vonore, Tennessee, Barbara Harris and her husband Guy of Belington, West Virginia, and George Wiese and his wife Karen of Tucson, Arizona. Along with her children, she is survived by eight grandchildren: Jeni Hauver, David Hauver, Karen Wiese, Stephen Wiese, Holly Harris, Julie Harris, Benjamin Wiese, and Megan Wiese. She is survived by four great grandchildren: Henry Wiese, Max Wiese, Walter Ludick, and Corbin Ludick.
She was born on September 24, 1921, in the Bronx section of NYC to George Leslie Keyes and Elizabeth Leader. She graduated from high school at the age of 16 in NYC. She went on to Hunter College in NYC where she graduated with a degree in statistics and a minor in geology. After graduating from college, she obtained a job as a statistician for Esso-Exon in New Jersey where she met her future husband, David Wiese. They were married for 70 years until his passing in 2015.
Adrienne raised her family in Hyde Park, New York. She was a strong believer in environmental issues. She fought hard for 8 years behind the scenes in a successful effort to protect and preserve a parcel of land in the Shawangunk Mountains which was then annexed to Minnewaska State Park in New York. She and her husband Dave were trail stewards and maintained a trail in Minnewaska State Park for many years. She also created a hiking trail connecting the Vanderbilt and Roosevelt estates along the Hudson River. The Adrienne Wiese Overlook in the Hyde Park Riverfront Park was named in her honor recognizing this work. A granite monument stands there with the inscription "Adrienne Wiese Overlook, June 1, 1991". She was an activist, testifying at a Congressional hearing in support of preserving Elanor Roosevelt's Val-Kill Cottage as a National Historical Site.
Adrienne was a member of the Mid-Hudson Chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club and the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference for over 50 years. She was a member of the Dutch Reformed Church in Poughkeepsie. She was a New Paltz Huguenot descendent and very active in the Huguenot Historical Society. She was a member of the DAR and an avid genealogy researcher. Her other interests included canoeing, sewing, traveling, writing, birding, cross country skiing, and Scouting.
This past September was another milestone in Adrienne's life when she celebrated her 100th birthday. This occasion was marked by a three-day event and party with her family and friends. She enriched the lives of those around her in so many ways and they were truly blessed.
Interment will be at the New Paltz Rural Cemetery. A grave side service will take place on November 16 at 11:00. In lieu of flowers, please send contributions to the Appalachian Trail Conference (https://donate.appalachian trail.org).
