Betty Eliane Brugger, a longtime Time Inc. staffer who created the company’s iconic HBO logo, died at her East Hampton home on May 13. A year-round resident since 1995, she was diagnosed with cancer about five months ago. She was 86 years old.

Ms. Brugger worked her way up at Time from a clerk’s job to become the promotion art director of its magazines before retiring in 1983. It was her idea to boil down the original somewhat clunky HBO logo, which featured a picture of a movie ticket and the words “Home Box Office” surrounded by rows of black dots, to today’s clean design. “She said, ‘You need call letters,’ ” said her friend Irene Sullivan of East Hampton, to identify the channel as a network, not just a place to see movies.

Born on June 26, 1930, in Valley Stream, to Emile Brugger and the former Emma Jahier, she  grew up there, graduating from Valley Stream High School.

In 1962 she moved to New York City to work for Time. She had vacationed in East Hampton for about 17 years before buying a house in Northwest Woods. She became an accomplished photographer, an enthusiastic gardener and golfer, and a gifted painter of botanical watercolors. She never sold anything, Ms. Sullivan said, but donated numerous items to be auctioned for the benefit of the Retreat, an East Hampton agency that serves victims of domestic abuse. She was a skilled pianist as well.

Ms. Brugger never married. She leaves one sister, Andree Brugger of Golden, Colo.; another sister predeceased her. She is also survived by  “a host of much-loved nieces, nephews, and their children,” who might as well have been her own, Ms. Sullivan said.

 Contributions in her memory may be directed to East End Hospice, P.O. Box 1048, Westhampton Beach 11978. A celebration of her life will be held at a later date.

A celebration of the life of Eileen Mary Kim, formerly of Montauk, will be held next Thursday at 11 a.m. at St. Therese of Lisieux Catholic Church in Montauk. A blessing will follow at Fort Hill Cemetery. Ms. Kim died on Feb. 18 at 64 years old.

Funeral services for Roma Karp, 93, who died at home in East Hampton on May 5, will be held next Thursday at 10 a.m. at Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church in East Hampton. Burial will follow at the church cemetery on Cedar Street.

A full obituary will appear in a future issue.

Loretta Sullivan, who met her American husband-to-be in Scotland, where she grew up and where he was stationed with the Navy at Holy Loch, died at home in Montauk on May 16 of complications of a stroke at the age of 80. She had been ill for only a month.

Mrs. Sullivan was a Montauk Fire Department pioneer — the first female firefighter, cardiopulmonary resuscitation instructor, and emergency medical technician. She also was the first chairwoman of its ambulance squad and the first woman to win election as a commissioner of the department, serving for two terms. Her daughter, Julia Smith of Montauk, said that one of her mother’s proudest moments was delivering a baby during one of her calls.

Alan Burke, a Montauk E.M.T. for the last 44 years, said Mrs. Sullivan “wasn’t afraid of anything, and she was a lot of fun to work with. . . . She was first to volunteer for everything and anything.”

Mrs. Sullivan arrived in Montauk in 1970 with her husband, the late Ronald E. Sullivan, whom she married on March 24, 1963, and their two children. He died in December 2012. Once in Montauk, she helped her husband establish and work at his welding and dive salvage business. Before settling there, however, the family had lived in Scotland and Cadiz, Spain, as well as Biloxi, Miss., Charleston, S.C., and New London, Conn. Her father-in-law, a retired police officer, had moved to Montauk from Manhattan and her husband wanted his children to go to school there.

She was born in Glasgow on Oct. 1, 1936, one of three children of the former Julia Goodall and John Jack McAdam. She went to school there and obtained an associate’s degree in business at the University of Glasgow, going to work at McKellar and Watts, a food distribution company.

In addition to volunteering for the Fire Department, Mrs. Sullivan was active in the Montauk Community Church, singing in its choir for more than 40 years and serving as a deacon, clerk of the session, and a Sunday school teacher. She also was a Boy Scout troop leader.

Ms. Smith said her mother loved her family and had a “great sense of humor and loved to laugh.” She had not understood her mother’s penchant for volunteering, she said, until she traveled with her in 2015 to Scotland, where she realized that people there are kind, and volunteering is what they do.

Her mother was athletic and adept at golfing, badminton, and bowling, and she enjoyed gardening and traveling, Ms. Smith said.

In addition to her daughter and a granddaughter, Mrs. Sullivan is survived by a son, Edward Sullivan of Montauk, as well as nieces and nephews in Scotland. A brother, George McAdam of Cumbernauld, Scotland, also survives. Another brother, Ian McAdam of Tollcross, Scotland, died in 2016.

A funeral service was held on Sunday at the Montauk Community Church, with the Rev. Bill Hoffman officiating. Mrs. Sullivan was buried next to her husband at Montauk’s Fort Hill Cemetery. The family has suggested memorial contributions to the church, P.O. Box 698, Montauk 11954.

George Michael Funk, a custom builder and retail business owner who lived in Montauk for nearly 20 years, died at home in Vero Beach, Fla., on May 5. He was 60 years old. The cause was heart failure, brought on by an aneurysm, said his son, Trevor Funk of Vero Beach and Montauk.

Born in West Babylon on June 11, 1956, to the former Mary Moore and George Charles Funk, he graduated from high school there and later attended the State University at Delhi.

He and the former Sandra Suddeth were married in 1981. That year, the couple moved to Montauk so that Mr. Funk, a devoted surfer who grew up on the beaches of Long Island’s South Shore, could pursue his passion in an environment he loved.

According to his former wife, Mr. Funk partnered with a friend from UpIsland, Craig Lieder, who now owns Sunset Surf Shack in Montauk, to open a surf store called Sunwear, at the present location of Plaza Sports on Montauk’s Main Street. For a few years, they ran a second store in East Hampton, and at that time, he designed a line of surfboards with Mr. Lieder under the name New Range.

“George was just such an amazing man, calm mannered, always happy, and his love to surf beyond recognition,” said Diane Griffin of Ava, N.Y., a former surf shop employee who would “never forget Hurricane Gloria, when he and Craig went out and surfed it. We all waited at Surfside Inn while they got one ride from there to Gurney’s.”

In the late 1980s, Mr. Funk partnered with Paul Davis of Montauk to start a residential construction business called Under Construction. Mr. Funk went on to build many houses in the hamlet, including those he lived in on South Greenfield Drive and South Fairview Avenue.

After separating from his wife, Mr. Funk moved to Vero Beach about 10 years ago. There, he continued to build houses under the name GMF Custom Builders. In part, he relocated to Florida to provide better opportunity for his then teenage son, an accomplished baseball pitcher who considered a professional career under the guidance of his father, said his former wife. Mr. Funk took an immense pride in his son’s accomplishments, with a particularly active interest in the realm of athletics, she said.

As he grew closer to retirement in Florida, Mr. Funk enjoyed golfing and tinkering with classic cars, including a 1970 Porsche 911 he had bought last year, said his son.

In December of 2014, he married Christine Larson Ross, who lives in Vero Beach. In addition to his son, he is survived by two sisters, Jackie Thorpe of Bellview, Fla., and Debra Funk of Ocala, Fla. His parents died before him.

A memorial service was held in Vero Beach on May 11. His family suggested memorial contributions to the Surfrider Foundation, online at surfrider.org, or to the American Heart Association.

Suzanne Obser, an administrator at the Hampton Jitney for some 30 years who also worked with distressed animals, died last Thursday at Stony Brook University Hospital of a heart attack. She was 52 and had a rare heart condition, which was diagnosed when she was 12.

Ms. Obser was well known at the Jitney’s Omni headquarters in Southampton. Her work involved scheduling the hours of up to 300 employees, a task her brother, Jeffrey Obser of Chico, Calif., called “a blend of artistry, mental gymnastics, and human resources diplomacy uniquely suited to her talents.” From time to time, she invited Jitney employees from Eastern Europe to live with her in Southampton, and, her brother said, she was welcomed as a village hero several years ago on a trip to Bulgaria.

An animal lover, she adopted, fostered, and rescued many dogs and cats. Most recently she volunteered at the Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center in Hampton Bays, going there at all hours when called to help with swans, seagulls, pelicans, squirrels, groundhogs, and with other, bigger animals as well, her brother said. In 2015, she was honored with the center’s Champion of the Wild award.

Ms. Obser moved to East Hampton from New Jersey with her family when she was 10. She attended the East Hampton Middle School and graduated from East Hampton High School with honors in 1982. She earned a bachelor’s degree in public relations and communications from Boston University.

While at college, Ms. Obser got a summer job taking telephone reservations at the Jitney. After graduating, she had a similar job with Northwest Airlines, which enabled her to travel all over the world.

Her brother said she was a Mets fan, a quilting enthusiast who used her grandmother’s 100-year-old Singer sewing machine, and a collector of birdhouses. She took frequent trips to Manhattan to attend concerts and plays, and she enjoyed baking cakes, breads, and Christmas cookies, which she would take to the Jitney or mail as gifts in elaborately wrapped packages.

She was born in Flushing, Queens, on Dec. 22, 1964. Her early childhood was spent there and in New Jersey. According to her brother, she met the challenges of her heart condition with “a fierce determination to live life to the fullest.”

Her mother, Eileen Obser of East Hampton, her father, Fred Obser of Floral Park, and many relatives and beloved pets survive, in addition to her brother, who worked at The East Hampton Star years ago.

The family received visitors on Monday at the Brockett Funeral Home in Southampton. A funeral Mass was said on Tuesday at Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church in East Hampton, with burial following at the church cemetery.

The family has suggested donations in Ms. Obser’s memory to the Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center, 228 West Montauk Highway, Hampton Bays 11946.

Linda Lester, a caregiver not only for her family members but for the clients she watched over as a home health aide, died of cancer on May 9 at the San Simeon by the Sound nursing home in Greenport. She was 74 and had been ill for four months.

Ms. Lester was a native of Amagansett and lived in that hamlet until moving 10 years ago to Marion Lane in East Hampton, where she lived with Tricia and James Brewer, a daughter and son-in-law.

She enjoyed spending time with family, cooking, and going to the beach, they said. A loving, gentle, and soft-spoken woman, she devoted her time to her children and grandchildren.

Born on Aug. 5, 1942, in Southampton, Ms. Lester was a daughter of Paul Wiseman and the former Hedwig Glaser. She graduated from the Amagansett School and East Hampton High School.

As a home health aide, she worked at the Huntting Lane Rest Home here and for the Catholic Guardian Society on the East End, as well as for private clients. Her marriage to Jens Lester of Amagansett ended in divorce.

She is survived by a brother and four sisters, Doreen Wiseman, Paul Wiseman, Norma Hren, and Dorothy Mott of East Hampton, and Joanne Vaughan of Sag Harbor. Also surviving, in addition to Ms. Brewer, are her children Stephen Lester and Mitchell Lester of East Hampton and Debbie Kleinsmith of Sag Harbor. She leaves seven grandchildren.

Ms. Lester was cremated. A service was held at the Yardley and Pino Funeral Home in East Hampton on Saturday, the Rev. Steven Howarth of the Amagansett Presbyterian Church presiding.

Memorial contributions have been suggested to San Simeon by the Sound, 61700 Route 48, Greenport 11944, or to the East Hampton Village Ambulance Association, 1 Cedar Street, East Hampton 11937.

A memorial service for Herbert E. Field, who died on April 18, will be held on Saturday at 10 a.m. at the Springs Presbyterian Church on Springs Fireplace Road. He will be buried with military honors at Cedar Lawn Cemetery in East Hampton.

John Peter Viscardi III died at home in Montauk on May 6 after a long illness. He was 59. The family, including his mother, sons, and four siblings, received visitors on May 9 at the Fairchild Sons Funeral Home in Garden City. A funeral Mass was said at noon the next day at St. Therese of Lisieux Catholic Church in Montauk, with burial following at Fort Hill Cemetery in Montauk.

Lorraine Dorothy-Jean McCann, who lived in Montauk as a girl and worked at the Trail’s End and Blue Marlin restaurants there during summer vacations, died on Jan. 29 at home in Huntington. Her death was unexpected and the cause was not known, her family said. She was 77.

Ms. McCann’s family had camped in the summer at Hither Hills State Park in Montauk for many years, and, in 1947, moved there year-round.

She was born on April 10, 1940, in Queens to Eugene Campbell and the former Dorothy Lorraine McCann. She attended East Hampton High School and the State University at Potsdam, graduating at the top of her class. She received two master’s degrees from Queens College.

She became a teacher, first in Livingston Manor, N.Y., then in the South Huntington School District, where she worked for 40 years, primarily at the Country Wood School with fourth graders.

During college and in the summer, she worked at a Horn and Hardart restaurant in Westbury, staying with relatives.

Ms. McCann was a bachelorette by choice, a nonsmoker, non-drinker, and in her early years enjoyed entertaining at home and going to opera and theater performances. To relax, she took up knitting, crocheting, quilting, needlepoint, and calligraphy. She also enjoyed solving math and logic problems, and she loved to read, particularly historical, political, and art-figure biographies.

Her father, mother, and two brothers, Eugene McCann and Roger McCann, died before her. Her surviving brother, Kevin J. McCann, lives in Healdsburg, Calif. She also left a niece and a nephew, for whose education she had contributed $100 a month for 30 years.

A memorial Mass for her will be said on June 8 at 9:30 a.m. at St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church in Melville, followed by burial at St. Charles Catholic Cemetery in Farmingdale.
