Palamountain was the wife of college president Joseph Palamountain Jr., who served from 1965 to 1987.
A visible face in Saratoga Springs, she was active in Skidmore affairs for 50 years, through this winter. She died Saturday from complications from pneumonia at Saratoga Hospital.
In a note, Skidmore College president Philip Glotzbach wrote “Anne will be greatly missed” and that the college will carry on the work of the Palamountain Scholarship Fund.
A memorial service has been scheduled on May 13th.
