| Violet DiCristo Guarino April 21, 2020 |
| Violet DiCristo Guarino, 89 years of age, died on Sunday, April 19th, 2020, in Center Moriches, NY.
Violet was born on September 29, 1930 in Brooklyn, NY to the late Maria and Aniello DiCristo. She was the youngest of five children, all of whom preceded her in death.
Violet married the late Anthony Guarino in 1953 and they had 5 children over the next 15 years, extending roots in Borough Park, Brooklyn, Staten Island, and spending family summers in Sag Harbor. While serving as the consummate homemaker and mother, Violet still found time to dedicate herself to teaching religious instruction and mentoring children through her membership in St. Catharine's of Alexandria Catholic parish.
After Anthony's death (1988) followed by her son Gerard's sudden death (1989), Violet relocated permanently to the family's favorite summer haven of Sag Harbor, NY. Bringing with her a profound heartbreak, yet deep-seated determination, this move was scary, difficult, and brave. Violet, a newly widowed and grieving mother, immediately ingratiated herself into the local community, becoming involved in the Sag Harbor Historical Society, Whaling and Historical Museum, Columbiettes, and the Ladies' Village Improvement Society, where she served as president. She also tended the roses at the Custom House, a fitting metaphor for her treasured role as one who augmented growth and beauty in Sag Harbor. Violet's impact on the tastes and culture of Sag Harbor further extended to baking savory unique items for local restaurants, such as Il Capuccino, and providing decoupage boxes and customized hats to local boutiques. Between 1989 and 2009, Violet worked at The Sag Harbor Inn, WLNG, and St. Andrew's/Stella Maris Elementary School. She saw her occupational roles as front-desk person, secretary, librarian and religious education provider as wonderful opportunities to make the lives of others better, easier, lighter, and richer. These labors of love, along with her numerous community involvements, reflected a remarkable spirit of resilience, love, acceptance, and a timeless, invaluable, and practical wisdom.
One apt example of Violet's kind ingenuity is evident today. The fact that half of the benches on the sidewalk of the circular Main Street in Sag Harbor currently face away from the traffic, is the result of Violet's suggestion to the village that perhaps some people would prefer watching passers-by and storefronts rather than moving cars and behemoth buses. Her daughter, Anita, had one of those benches embossed as follows: "Violet DiCristo Guarino - good with kids and dogs." This playful and brief tribute is a fitting accolade to Violet. Of course, it's a bit humorous as well in its obvious understatement of Violet's tremendous and graceful contributions to anyone she encountered, and, as many visitors sitting to "people-watch" on a bench unwittingly enjoy, to so many others she never even knew.
Still fortunate to live with the loving memory of Violet are her children: Anita, Anthony, Michael and Salvatore Guarino, grand-daughters: Ana, Grace, Maria and Alana Guarino, dozens of friends throughout New York and elsewhere, and thousands of Main Street, Sag Harbor strollers for years to come.
There will be a memorial service for Violet at a later date, tentatively in September of 2020. If desired, friends may make memorial contributions to the ASPCA in honor of Violet. https://secure.aspca.org/donate/memorial

| Mary Lloyd March 30, 2020 |
| Mary Lloyd b. Mary Disbrow passed away at her home in the early afternoon on March
24, 2020. She was born in Minneola Hospital on November 3rd, 1958, to George
Nelson Disbrow and Patricia Disbrow. She was survived by her loving: children
Jason and Abby, her husband Steve, her parents George and Patricia, her sisters
Ruth and Kathy, brother George, her 19 nieces and nephews, her 3 aunts, and her
4 uncles, cousins and her dog and cats. Mary was a mother in every sense of the
word. She took so many people under her wing. Mary was a fighter, she fought
cancer, she fought for what she thought was right and she fought on behalf of
mistreated people and animals. She never stood back, she always offered a
solution, she always took initiative. She endured so much in her life but she
persevered with vigor. She never lost the sparkle in her eye, her charming smile
or her outrageous sense of humor. Thank you Mary for everything! When things get
better we will give you the party that you deserve! Until then, Rest in Power!
Love you forever! |
