Gertrude Margaret Eadie, nee Matz, of Hampton Bays died on March 11. She was 96.
She was born on September 9, 1927, in Altoona, Pennsylvania. She grew up in Queens, where she met her husband, Andrew, the love of her life.
They moved to Hampton Bays, where they were charter members of Christ Our Saviour Lutheran Church.
She was employed and retired from the Suffolk County Department of Finance and Taxation, at which she worked for 23 years.
