Ann T. Preller of Greenport died on July 31, 2021. She was 95.
Ms. Preller enjoyed needlework, gardening, crossword puzzles, and cigarettes. She was also a fervent baseball fan, first the Brooklyn Dodgers, and later the New York Mets. She always had a soft spot for lovable losers, her family said. If 90 percent of parenting is showing up, Ms. Preller earned an A-plus in attendance, her family said.
Ms. Preller was a devoted wife for 60 years to her late husband, Alan J. Preller, who died in 2006. She will be sorely missed by all who knew her, her family said.
In addition to her husband, she was predeceased by her sons Neal and John. She is survived by her children William, Barbara, Alan, Jean and James; 16 grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren.
A Mass was celebrated at the Basilica Parish of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary with interment following at Sacred Hearts Cemetery in Southampton.
Arrangements were entrusted to O’Connell-Rothwell Funeral Home in Southampton.
