Camille Dockstader

Camille Dockstader of Cohoes formerly Watervliet, passed away peacefully in her home on May 20, 2025, surrounded by her loved ones. Born on September 25, 1960, she was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother.

Camille's life was a beautiful testament to faith, love, and service. She was the beloved wife of Glenn Dockstader, and the proud mother to Jason (Rojin) Dockstader, Eleanor (Eric) Dockstader, Paul (Ashley) Dillon, Charles Manganaro, Taylor (Melanie) Dockstader, and Arianna Dockstader. Additionally, she was the cherished grandmother to Carter, Scarlett, Carson and Arjin.

Camille's unwavering devotion to God was the foundation of her life. Her faith guided her actions, comforted her in times of struggle, and inspired all who knew her. She nurtured a deep spiritual connection that radiated through her kindness, wisdom, and strength. Camille shared her faith not only through words, but through a life lived with grace, humility, and compassion.

In 2002, Camille founded the Watervliet Youth Basketball Program, a ministry of love and mentorship as much as an athletic endeavor. She believed in the power of sports to shape character and community and worked tirelessly to give young people a place to grow in skill, confidence, and in faith. Her vision and leadership left an indelible mark on generations of families.

Camille was known for her spirit, her radiant smile, and her ability to lift others up. Her legacy is one of service, sacrifice, and spiritual strength, and her presence will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
