author on Jan 23, 2017

Olivia Rose Noonan of Southampton died at home, surrounded by her family, on January 19, 2017, of ovarian cancer. She was 70.

Born on January 6, 1947, in New Brunswick, New Jersey, she was the daughter of Francis and Rose (Fatigati) Fazio. She spent the early part of her childhood with her parents and maternal grandparents in New Brunswick before moving to Brooklyn, where she met the love of her life, Charles A. Noonan. They married on July 13, 1968, in Bay Ridge and welcomed their only daughter, Megan, into their lives the following summer.

Ms. Noonan was a talented, creative and beautiful woman with style and humor who was never one to toot her own horn, survivors said. She attended Catholic University of America, earning a bachelor’s degree in 1968. She devoted her life to making a home for her family.

Ms. Noonan is survived by her husband, Charles; and daughter, Megan Noonan and husband Peter McWilliams.

Funeral arrangements were under the direction of the O’Connell Funeral Home in Southampton.

Flag Legends

I was surprised to find out that the Betsy Ross flag is not an official flag of the United States. The case for the Betsy Ross flag’s legitimacy is one of inter-meshing legends — and it begins in Bridgehampton. Bridgehampton had a militia in 1775. John Hulbert, its leader, recruited 68 men. Congress ordered him to escort the British prisoners taken in the Battle of Fort Ticonderoga to Philadelphia, the Continental capital. Hulbert found himself in Philadelphia in late October or early November 1775. Hulbert’s flag had 13 six-pointed stars in a blue field, six stripes deep, in a diamond ... 8 Dec 2025 by Staff Writer
