Margaret Hindra, who came to the United States from Ireland in the early 1950s as a young woman and later retired to Springs with her husband, Valentine Hindra, died on Sept. 1 at home at Windmill Village in East Hampton. She was 83 and had Parkinson’s disease, her son, Matt Hindra, said.

Mrs. Hindra was a strong force in their family, a matriarch, he said, and the center of a large group of friends.

She was born a twin on Nov. 28, 1933, to Timothy Buckley and the former Mary Sexton on the family farm.

She would be one of the couple’s 15 children, among the family’s youngest, and attended a one-room schoolhouse with students coming from three farming families spread out across 50 miles of the rural Cork landscape.

The farm was modest, raising cows for milk to sell, as well as chickens. Matt Hindra recalled that his mother would recite a rhyme to teach him and his sister the names of all of her siblings.

In the post-World War II early 1950s things were not so good in Ireland, so the still-young Miss Buckley left for London, seeking opportunity. She found work there as a baby nurse, remaining until she got a visa to come to the U.S. in 1962.

Living in New York City, she began work in elder care, staying in a client’s apartment for a few years. While there, she met Valentine Hindra, who was a doorman in the building where she worked, and romance, then marriage, ensued.

The couple saved money and eventually bought a small cottage in Hampton Bays, which they had used for a getaway and a place from which to launch fishing trips in the summers, and they moved there full time in the 1970s, looking for a safer place than New York City to raise their two children. At one point, they owned a motel in Hampton Bays, their son said. At another point, the Hindras worked at an estate outside of London.

Later on, the Hindras moved to a house on Woodbine Drive in Springs, Mr. Hindra by then having become a serious painter. They worked as caretakers, minding the Dean family property in East Hampton Village at one time.

Home life was important to Mrs. Hindra. There were almost constant card games at the house, both in New York City and Springs, Matt Hindra said. “She was fast friends with anyone from Ireland,” he said, “and she loved it here.”

Walks on the bay beach were a special pleasure for her, her son said. The family always owned a small boat, and Mrs. Hindra would enjoy relaxing aboard it while her husband clammed or fished.

Mrs. Hindra loved to travel, her son said, making yearly trips to Ireland to see family, as well as taking sightseeing trips in San Francisco and Switzerland, among other places.

Her husband survives her, as do their children, Matt Hindra of East Hampton, and Mary Anne Difatta of Trout Valley, Ill., and two grandchildren, as well as four of her siblings.

Mrs. Hindra was buried at Most Holy Trinity Catholic Cemetery on Cedar Street in East Hampton on Sept. 5. The Rev. Ryan Creamer officiated at a graveside service that was attended by a large number of people, including several relatives from Ireland.

Matt Hindra suggested donations in his mother’s memory to the National Parkinson Foundation, 200 S.E. 1st Street, Suite 800, Miami, Fla. 33131.

A resident of Morris Park Lane in East Hampton since 1974, Collis E. Russell died at home on Aug. 24. He was 71.

Born in Moore County, N.C., on May 2, 1946, to William and Augusta Russell, he attended school there and in Bridgehampton, where he moved with his family. On Sept. 12, 1964, he married Linda Sue Ward. The couple relocated to East Hampton, and Mr. Russell worked as a window washer for more than 25 years across the East End.

He is survived by his wife and three daughters, Faye Russell, Felicia Russell, and Sonja Russell, all of East Hampton, and by two sons, Kyle Russell of East Hampton and Chris Russell of Maine.

Nine grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren, and 20 nieces and nephews also survive.

A memorial will be held at the Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett on Friday, Sept. 29, from 5 to 9 p.m. There will be no charge to attend, and donations will be accepted for the family.

Jacqueline Odette de Looz, who worked at the United Nations in various capacities for more than four decades and who had a house on Abraham’s Path in Amagansett, died on June 2 in Vienna of pancreatic cancer, her family said. She was 73.

Ms. de Looz began her career with Unesco in Paris in 1967 and worked at the U.N. in New York City from 1980 to 2003. Her positions included a post as head of the French edition team for the Official Records Editing Section. Assignments included General Assembly budget resolutions and editing the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court in 1998. After she retired in 2004, she continued working for the U.N. as an editor, translator, and verbatim reporter.

She was born on June 15, 1943, in Bou­farik, Algeria, to Alexandre Le­comte and Odette Van der Straeten, one of three siblings. When she was 8 the family relocated to Paris. As a young woman, she traveled to Britain, Germany, and the United States, where she lived with her husband, Bertrand de Looz, whom she married in 1972, and raised three sons.

She earned a master’s degree in French literature from Hunter College in New York in 1979 and spoke Spanish, German, and Russian.

Ms. de Looz’s family described her as a chef with blue-ribbon aplomb and an enchanting hostess. She had a lifelong love of dancing and was the founder of the United Nations and Pilates clubs and a trustee of the United Nations International School. She modeled for paintings by Hunt Slonem and Lucas Samaras. She became an American citizen in 2010.

Swimming at Albert’s Landing Beach in Amagansett was a joy to her, as was her garden with cardinals and chickadees, interlopers that she adored. She attended services at Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church in East Hampton, where she was a Eucharistic minister, and where she was awarded Commander of the Star in the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem. 

Ms. de Looz is survived by her husband and sons, Pierre Alexandre de Looz of Brooklyn, Jean-Sebastien de Looz of Manhattan, and Marc-Andre de Looz of Houston, and her siblings, Claude Lecomte of Angers, France, and Andree Hookey of Rye, England.

A private Mass for her was celebrated on Saturday at Holy Family Church in Manhattan by the Rev. Gerald Murray. She was buried at Most Holy Trinity Cemetery in East Hampton.

Memorial contributions have been suggested to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, 1500 Rosecrans Avenue, Suite 200, Manhattan Beach, Calif. 90266.

Martha Nicholoulias, who with her husband followed her sister and brother-in-law to Montauk after they retired there in the 1970s, died in her sleep at home on Sept. 15. She was 93 and had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. 

In 1978, after retiring from teaching elementary school, Ms. Nicholoulias began living in Montauk year round, but continued to work, both as a licensed real estate broker and in the attendant’s booth at Montauk Point State Park. She lived in a building at the Montauk Downs golf course and managed the homeowners’ association there. 

She was a member of the Montauk Community Church and a volunteer with its women’s guild, and also helped out at the hamlet’s senior nutrition center.

Born in Manhattan on Nov. 28, 1923, to the former Alexandra Georgiadis and Michael Koleoglou, who had come here from Greece, she grew up in the city and earned a B.A. in education from Hunter College. She moved to Far Rockaway to teach there and worked in the school office as well.

Her husband, Peter Nicholoulias, died some time ago. They had twin sons, one of whom, Michael Nicholoulias of Montauk, survives. Her sister, Aster Stein, also survives, as do six nephews and a niece. “Also, many friends and families that loved her and will miss her,” her sister wrote.

Ms. Nicholoulias donated her body to the Department of Anatomical Sciences at the Stony Brook University School of Medicine. Her ashes will be scattered in the ocean at Ditch Plain next spring; the Rev. Bill Hoffmann of the Community Church will preside.

Donations in her memory have been suggested to the Montauk Community Church, P.O. Box 698, Montauk 11954, or the Montauk Community Senior Nutrition Center, P.O. Box 1612, Montauk.

George Edmund Butts Jr., who was 82, died at home on Shelter Island on Sept. 5. A former resident of Sag Harbor and its mayor from 1985 to 1991, he had been in failing health for the last few years.

Mr. Butts had been a contractor who took over his father’s business, George Butts Builders. He and his wife, the former Nancy A. Friscia of Shelter Island, lived on the island for 17 years, and he had served as its dog warden. His daughter Jacqueline Butts Minetree said, “He loved, loved, loved animals,” and that he included his family, children and grandchildren, in boating, which was a huge part of his life. He owned a boat for more than 30 years and was a member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary and the United States Power Squadron.

He was born in Southampton on May 20, 1935, the only child of the former Madeleine Mitchell and George E. Butts Sr. He grew up in Sag Harbor and graduated from Pierson High School. From 1956 to 1959 he served in the Army Reserve.

In Sag Harbor, he was a member of the American Legion, the Gazelle Hose Company of the Sag Harbor Fire Department, and was the president of St. Andrew’s Catholic Church Parish Council.

In addition to his wife and daughter Jacqueline Butts Minetree, he is survived by another daughter, Katherine Butts Gregg of Shelter Island, and a son, George E. Butts III of Sag Harbor. Eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild also survive; a grandson died before him.

The family received visitors on Friday at the Yardley and Pino Funeral Home in Sag Harbor. Burial was private. Donations to the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons, P.O. Box 901, Wainscott 11975, the Cormaria Retreat House, P.O. Box 1993, Sag Harbor 11963, or the Shelter Island Red Cross Ambulance Squad, P.O. Box 830, Shelter Island 11964 have been suggested.

John B. Olszewski, who had moved in June from Saratoga Springs, N.Y., to West Palm Beach, Fla., died at Good Samaritan Hospital there on Aug. 22 of prostate cancer. He had been ill with heart problems and other cancers for 10 years.

Mr. Olszewski, a Sag Harbor native, trained after high school to be a meteorologist for the United States Air Force, and served for 21 years as a technical sergeant with the title of weather officer on bases in Austria, Germany, Greenland, Maine, and New Jersey. After leaving the Air Force, he moved back to Sag Harbor and worked from 1969 to 1986 as caretaker of the East Hampton Library, while also looking after three estates in East Hampton Village. In November 1977 he married Doris Kabelitz of Sag Harbor, who survives.

Mr. Olszewski had several hobbies, including skeet and trap shooting at the Maidstone Gun Club, meteorology, and birdwatching.

In 1986, he and his wife moved to Saratoga Springs, where he worked for an engineering and construction company, Laquidara, that built hydroelectric dams. He retired 10 years later.

John Benjamin Olszewski was born on Sept. 25, 1929, to the former Rose Kwiakowski and Walter Olszewski. His brothers and sisters all died before him. He attended St. Andrew’s School in Sag Harbor and graduated from Pierson High School there.

A stepson, Gary Kabelitz of Sag Harbor, and a stepdaughter, Gail O’Neill of Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., also survive, as do a niece and a nephew.

Mr. Olszewski was cremated. He is to be given an honor guard ceremony at Calverton National Cemetery in Wading River.

Cheryl O. Lewis of East Hampton, who was born at Southampton Hospital, worked there as a nurse’s aide, and died there on Sept. 3, was a woman of deep faith, her sister, Gail Harris, said this week, always keeping a Bible with her. “There is nothing too hard for God,” she would often say. Ms. Lewis, who was eventually forced to retire because of a disability, had been in poor health for some time, Ms. Harris said. She was 68.

Born on June 2, 1949, to Clarence Lewis and the former Margaret Wallace, she grew up in the family home on Oakview Highway and graduated from East Hampton High School in 1967. All her life, she attended church services in East Hampton. She was 8 when services at St. Matthew’s Chapel on Three Mile Harbor Road ended for good, and recalled walking afterward to the newly built Calvary Baptist Church. She remained a member of Calvary Baptist, where her funeral was held on Saturday, for the rest of her life.

Ms. Lewis was taught as a child to lend a hand to others in need, her sister said. Her parents kept a welcoming household, with big family dinners and neighbors always dropping by. The house would fill with people who lived and worked at the Smith Meal Factory at Promised Land when the low-lying section of Amagansett was evacuated for hurricanes, Ms. Harris said.

Later, she said, their extended family would joke about Ms. Lewis’s willingness to be of service to those in need. “Go to East Hampton. Look for Cheryl. She will help you,” they would say.

Among those she helped, said her sister, was Aaron Petty, whom she raised as if he were her son.

“She had a sense of humor. She loved to laugh,” Ms. Harris said. Ms. Lewis was a great cook, she said, turning out perfect cakes without cracking a recipe book. When someone came home from military service, said her sister, she would be there with a platter of her signature sugar cookies baked at her house on Three Mile Harbor Road, around the corner from where she grew up.

As her health failed, many friends, including some whom she had helped, came in turn to help her. Her brother-in-law Bill Harris often drove from Central Islip if something needed fixing. Rich Burns, the East Hampton High School superintendent, would check in, as did Irene Johnson, who would visit when she was recovering from her illnesses.

In addition to Ms. Harris, Ms. Lewis is survived by a brother, John Lewis of East Hampton. Her siblings Joan Lewis and Clarence Lewis Jr. died before her.

Carol A. McCallion, a resident of East Hampton for many years and more recently of Naples, Fla., died on Sept. 1 at Southampton Hospital. The cause of death was a heart attack, her family said. She was 74.

Born Carol Scoppa on Jan. 8, 1943, in Brooklyn to Philip Scoppa and the former Elisa Bellincampi, she attended Fort Hamilton High School. She moved to East Hampton in 1964 after her marriage to Donald McCallion. 

She worked as an office assistant at the Condie Lamb Real Estate Agency in East  Hampton, and, over the years, was active in the Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church Parish Council, the Italian American Club, and the Council of Catholic Women.

After her husband died in the mid-1990s, she moved to Florida but returned to East Hampton every summer for three or four months.

Ms. McCallion is survived by her children, Carol Ann Zellway of Bloomfield, N.J., and Gerald McCallion of Waynesville, N.C., as well as by a sister, Rindy Wolfe of East Hampton, and several great-nieces and great-nephews. Ms. Wolfe said her sister would be missed by everyone in their large Italian-American family as well as by her many friends in East Hampton and Florida.

A funeral Mass was celebrated on Sept. 6 at Most Holy Trinity Church. The family has suggested memorial donations to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 262 Danny Thomas Place, Memphis, Tenn. 38105 or stjude.org.

Walter F. Hardy, who since 1970 had spent summers at his family’s house on Gerard Drive in Springs, died suddenly on Sept. 2. Mr. Hardy, who was the athletic director of Sherwood High School in Sandy Spring, Md., collapsed at the school that day. He had had a heart condition, friends said. He was 50 years old. 

He was remembered as “an outgoing, playful, gregarious person and a joyful and engaging individual, who loved life and was always fun to be around,” and a fixture at Atlantic Avenue Beach in Amagansett.  

Mr. Hardy, who was born on March 8, 1967, worked for several summers at Ocean’s in Amagansett, and later at the Lobster Roll on Napeague. He loved being on the water in his boat, and often invited his large circle of friends aboard. He also loved music, entertaining, and singing along with a live band whenever he got the chance.

A graduate of Towson State University in Maryland, he was said to be a beloved teacher and coach at his alma mater, Paint Branch High School in Burtonsville, Md. He coached the school’s  basketball team for 17 seasons, leading it to a state championship before leaving to become the athletic director at Kennedy High School. He took over as athletic director of Sherwood High School in July.

Friends said Mr. Hardy was a legendary figure in the Montgomery County Public School system, using sports to teach social responsibility and develop community pride. Co-workers, students, players, parents, and opposing coaches all admired his passion and enthusiasm. 

A devoted family man, he is survived by his wife, Mary Hardy of Olney, Md., and two children, Olivia, 11, and Chase, 7. His parents, Margot and Frederick Hardy of Calverton, Md., also survive, as does a brother, Daniel Hardy, also of Calverton, and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins.

A celebration of his life was held at Paint Branch High School on Sept. 9. Memorial contributions may be made to an educational scholarship fund in his name at walterhardy.org.

John Victor Willenborg of Vero Beach, Fla., who as a year-round resident of Montauk had helped spearhead the drive to build a new building for the growing congregation of St. Therese of Lisieux Catholic Church, died on Aug. 28 at the Palm Garden Health and Rehabilitation Center in Vero Beach, three weeks after his 75th birthday. He had been in declining health in recent months and died in his sleep, a member of his family said. 

Mr. Willenborg and his family began summering in Montauk in the 1970s, eventually settling year round in a house on Davis Drive. He was a Eucharistic minister at St. Therese as well as a reader. He also was a member of the Montauk Lions Club. 

Christopher J. Willenborg of Southwick, Mass., said his father loved playing tennis and that the family had a court of their own on Davis Drive. He enjoyed long walks on the beaches near Hither Hills, particularly at night when he could stargaze. He also played pool and collected stamps and coins.

He was born in Jersey City on Aug. 5, 1942, to John Willenborg and the former Victoria Maennlle, and grew up in Leonia, N.J. He attended Fairfield University, but eventually  joined the family business, C&J Willenborg, a food importer. 

He married Christa Paon, and in addition to their son, they had a daughter, Dr. Laura Walsh, now of Stafford, Va. The young family lived first in Hoboken, N.J., and then in Ramsey, N.J., before coming to Montauk. Mr. Willenborg, who had also lived in Upper Saddle River, N.J., sold his share of the family business in the mid-1980s, buying the property on Davis Drive. 

The couple loved traveling and went on trips to Europe, Israel, Egypt, and the Caribbean. He continued his world travels after their divorce, adding Japan and Korea to his itinerary. 

Mr. Willenborg’s children survive, as does his former wife, who lives in Montauk, five grandchildren, and two sisters, Gerda Della Valle of Vero Beach and Joan Cosgrove of Mahwah, N.J. He also is survived by a close friend, Suki Willenborg of Japan.

 He had moved to Florida, and the family suggested contributions in his memory to the Fort Pierce Lions Club, P.O. 1052, Fort Pierce, Fla. 34954-1052.

A private graveside service will be held on Sept. 30 at the Maryrest Cemetery in Mahwah.
