Gina Spiegel Of Hampton Bays Dies April 19

Gina E. Spiegel of Hampton Bays died at home on April 18, 2019.

Born in Flushing to Louis DePasquale and Elizabeth Pelosi, she attended high school in New York and Florida before moving back to Long Island with her family. She attended Southampton High School and, ultimately, graduated from Hampton Bays High School.

She met her husband, Louis Spiegel, in 1979; her father worked for CBS at the time and her future brother-in-law worked for NBC, and they met at a networking event and married in 1983.

Their eldest child, Louis Ronald, was born in New Jersey in 1983, where they lived until relocating to Hampton Bays in 1985. Their second child, Nicholas Paul, was born in 1987 in Southampton.

Survivors said she was a selfless and doting mother, making her primary focus the upbringing and success of her children. Her proudest moments, she recalled to her family, were linked to her children’s success and the birth of her grandchildren.

Ms. Spiegel became gravely ill 10 months ago and her husband was her primary caregiver throughout.

In addition to her husband, she is survived by her sons, Louis Ronald and Nicholas Paul; her mother, Elizabeth Pelosi-Dubin; stepfather Ronald; her grandchildren, Charlotte Olivia and Leopold Reid; her brother, Louis DePasquale Jr.; sister Diane McMahon; and nieces and nephews.

Funeral arrangements were under the direction of the R.J. O’Shea Funeral Home in Hampton Bays. Visiting was held on Monday with a funeral Mass on Tuesday at the Church of St. Rosalie in Hampton Bays, followed by burial at Good Ground Cemetery.
