Mary Ellen (née Fee) Ramundo of Sag Harbor and Naples, Florida, died May 13 at the Westhampton Care Center after a short illness. She was 69.
Born September 20, 1938, in Nyack, New York, to George D. and Mildred Colligan Fee, both of whom predeceased her, she was raised in Nanuet and graduated from Nyack High School.
