Jane Ellen (Beyerman) Rossetti of Southampton, formerly of Floral Park, died at Southampton Hospital on October 6, 2017. She was 72.

Ms. Rossetti was born on December 7, 1944, in Floral Park to Harry and Gertrude Beyerman. She graduated with an associate’s degree from Farmingdale State College. She was an illustrator prior to marrying Robert J. Rossetti of Garden City and Southampton on April 8, 1972. They raised two daughters, Diana and Kate.

Ms. Rossetti was a loving wife and mother who always put family first, survivors said. She loved going to the beach in Southampton Shores, gardening, entertaining and spending time with her six grandchildren, family and friends. Her grandchildren loved being with their “Nana” and she never missed an opportunity to be with them. The Rossetti family went on many trips, with Disney World being one of their favorite destinations. Family and friends describe her as funny, creative and a caring listener; she made everyone around her feel as though they had a special connection and bond with her.

She is survived by her husband, Robert J. Rossetti; two daughters, Diana Esposito and husband Jeffrey and their four children, Jake, Brooke, Ryder and Zoe of Sag Harbor; and Kate E. McManus and husband Gilbert and their two children, Sabrina and Violet of Sag Harbor. She is also survived by her sister, Nancy Minogue and husband Joseph; and two brothers-in-law and their wives; a sister-in-law and her husband and six nieces and nephews.

Funeral arrangements were under the direction of Brockett Funeral Home in Southampton.

No More Deals

I am writing in opposition to the proposed residential project on the site of the Dockers restaurant on Dune Road in East Quogue [“East Quogue Residents, Environmental Advocates Condemn Condo Proposal at Dockers Site,” 27east.com, November 8]. As I understand it, the project requires a zoning change from one nonconforming use to another. I have lived in the town long enough to remember that when a nonconforming use was exhausted, the site had to revert to a conforming use. No more exceptions, no more deals — simply adhere to the existing zoning. I believe this continued movement to disregard existing ... by Staff Writer

Thankful, and Not

Thanksgiving is synonymous with harvest. Reaping what you have sown, you walk across the threshold of the field, your machete idle but ready to swing, to neatly lob off a head of broccoli. The level of satisfaction is hard to replicate in layman’s terms, somewhere between basketball’s slam dunk and capturing the flag. Harvest is what gave us some primordial ease, that the dark, cold months will not be hungry ones. The ancient discovery that successful agriculture could offer its practitioners self-reliance — to a degree — is what set us on the path to discovering other things, like gratefulness. ... by Marilee Foster

The “tyranny” is as follows: First, it’s complete and utter ecosystem destruction. Next comes the turf grass, along with trees and shrubs from other parts of the world that need life support to live here. Next, it’s the pesticides, the water use, the emissions, and then that damned life-ruining noise of the !+@%”*#*^*! “Infernal Gadgets” [Letters, November 13] — leaf blowers! Why?
