Agnes Sinclair Micari, a lifelong resident of Hampton Bays, died at her home on Saturday, June 20. She was 89.
“Aggie,” as she was known to friends and family, was one of eight children born to William and Sadie (née Jennings) Sinclair. She was also known as one of the “Super Seniors” who just last year contributed information for the centennial journal for the Hampton Bays School District.
For many years, she was the deli manager at Thompson’s Supermarket. Recently she received a 60-year membership award from Hand-Aldrich American Legion Post 924 Auxiliary, for years of service during which she faithfully fulfilled many offices for the organization, including that of treasurer.
Mrs. Micari is survived by a daughter, Patricia A. Dekas and her husband John; two sons, Stephen C. Micari and his wife Barbara, and Thomas C. Micari, all of Hampton Bays; a brother, Chet Sinclair; a sister, Evelyn Midgette, both of Hampton Bays; eight grandchildren, Dione Dekas Zbikowski, John J. Dekas, Stacey LaPointe, Leigh Murphy, Thomas J. Micari, Brian S. Micari, Julie Willingham and Jeff A. Micari; eight great-grandchildren; and many in-laws, nieces, nephews and cousins.
She was predeceased by her husband, Stephen R. Micari; two brothers, Arthur and Carl “Larry” Sinclair; and three sisters, Marion Wile, Dorothy Forbes, and Edna McPhail.
A wake and prayer service offered by the American Legion Auxiliary and clergy of St. Rosalie’s Roman Catholic Church were held at the J. Ronald Scott Funeral Home in Hampton Bays on June 23.
At the funeral service on June 24 at St. Rosalie’s Roman Catholic Church in Hampton Bays, her granddaughter Dione Dekas Zbikowski sang, her grandsons served as pallbearers, and other family members read and served the gifts. Interment followed at Good Ground Cemetery in Hampton Bays.
