Mary Michelle Labrozzi of Sag Harbor died on October 24. She was 70.

Born on December 14, 1954, in Sag Harbor to Katherine and Edward Archibald, she was the youngest of six siblings and a proud graduate of Pierson High School.

In 1981, she married the love of her life, Joseph William Labrozzi, and together they shared 43 wonderful years of marriage filled with laughter and dedication.

Over the years, she embraced many roles in both her personal and professional life. She was an entrepreneur who owned her own businesses and spent many years working at the Sag Harbor Yacht Yard. She also helped manage Joseph Labrozzi Jr., Inc.

Among her proudest accomplishments was her service with the Sag Harbor Volunteer Ambulance Corps, at which she was honored as EMT of the Year. A devoted volunteer, she was active with the Ladies Auxiliary and was both a Girl Scout and Boy Scout leader, always finding ways to give back to her community.

She will be remembered for her larger-than-life personality and her generous heart. She was known for her warm hugs, her famous homemade cookies, and her constant willingness to lend a hand. Her passions included cooking, gardening, sewing and quilting, caring for animals, and bringing creativity into everything she touched.

She is survived by her son Peter and his wife Angela and granddaughters, Zoey and Kara; her son Michael, his wife Autumn and granddaughters Avery, Hayden, and Isabelle; her stepchildren, Theresa Labrozzi, Joseph and his wife Leslie and grandson Daniel, and Cheryl McMahon and her husband Mark and granddaughter Meagan. Additionally, she is survived by her brothers Tom Archibald and his wife Jan, and James Archibald; and her sisters, Patricia Archibald and Pamela Remkus and her husband Robert; a large extended family and countless friends.

Memorial donations may be made to the Sag Harbor Fire Department Benevolent Fund, P.O. Box 209, Sag Harbor, NY 11963, or the Sag Harbor Ambulance, P.O. Box 2725, Sag Harbor, NY 11963.

Perspective Is Everything

In the parking area, a photographer pulls her gear from the back of her car. A second woman stands nearby. She must be the one who hired the photographer, because she’s holding a perfect little baby in her arms as she explains, “So now we’ve gotten past that.” The photographer nods, shouldering the heavy bag, and they advance toward the beach entrance. A young man has been impatiently pacing, waiting for them. His lanky frame, dressed neat as a pin, forced to be ready for picture day, turns and kicks at the sand.

Complicity

The opinions of the Southampton Town Board candidates on the issue of gas blowers are against the will of the majority who worked so hard against entrenched interests to restrict their use. The noise of gas blowers reach 85 decibels in my backyard. This level of noise is hazardous to health, not to mention that it prevents one from reading, thinking or functioning in one’s home. Other serious environmental concerns (e.g., harmful particulates in the air) also have been voiced in these pages. It is most disheartening that the monstrous practice of using gas blowers is poised to go unchecked ... by Staff Writer
