Musician, artist and world traveler Manette van Hamel, 98, of Woodstock, died Sunday, June 17, 2012 at Kingston Hospital. Born in Deventer, Holland in 1913, she was the daughter of the late Hendrik and Maria Heyligers Cramer. Considering the vast cultural experience Manette assimilated during her long, productive life in many different countries and through two World Wars it reflects well on Woodstock that she and her husband, the diplomat Diederik van Hamel, chose to settle here upon his retirement in 1972. The van Hamels enriched the town as well.
