Anne Harvey Gerli, a past president of the Garden Club of East Hampton, third-generation member of the Maidstone Club, and the granddaughter of William H. Woodin, secretary of the treasury under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, died on March 3 in Manhattan, two days after suffering a stroke. She was 92.

Mrs. Gerli, a national figure skating judge for more than 70 years and a tennis player, had spent the previous weekend in East Hampton, where she was on the board of the Village Preservation Society, had worked with the East Hampton Historical Society, and volunteered at many long-ago Ladies Village Improvement Society summer fairs, her daughter, Anne (Coco) Shean of Manhattan and East Hampton, said.

“Somebody said that she was the rudder that, when we got off track, steered us straight,” Ms. Shean said yesterday. “She was very demanding and had very high standards — she was steering us straight a lot.”

Mrs. Gerli was a member of the Skating Club of New York and served as vice president and world team leader for United States Figure Skating, the national governing body for the sport, in 1985, and was inducted into its Hall of Fame last year. She was the organization’s Olympic representative in 1981 and ’82. 

Mrs. Gerli was the youngest person to become president of the New York Junior League. As president and board member of the Women’s Prison Association, Girls Service League, and Fountain House, she was a longtime advocate for the rights of women and the mentally ill.

She was born on Dec. 28, 1923, in Manhattan to Owen F. Harvey and the former Anne Woodin. She grew up in Manhattan, and attended the Nightingale-Bamford School and Barnard College there. Summers were spent in East Hampton. She also earned a master’s degree in philosophy from Columbia University, graduating with honors.

Mrs. Gerli’s first husband, Carl W. Gram, died in 1973. She married David Gerli in 1974. He died at the age of 98 in 2009.

In addition to Ms. Shean, two other daughters survive. They are Mary G. Clarke of East Hampton and Carol G. Deane of Boston and East Hampton. Six grandchildren and one great-grandchild also survive.

A memorial service was held on March 11 at Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in Manhattan, to which she belonged. The Rev. Kate Dunn officiated. Mrs. Gerli’s ashes are to be buried in the family plot at Cedar Lawn Cemetery in East Hampton. 

Her family has suggested memorial contributions to the U.S. Figure Skating Memorial Fund, 20 First Street, Colorado Springs, Colo. 80906 or 1961MemorialFund.com, or the East Hampton Historical Society at easthamptonhistory.org.

Frank Albert Hanna III, the proprietor of Frank Hanna’s International Cleaning Company in East Hampton, an Army veteran and an East Hampton native, died at home here last Thursday. He was 54 and had heart disease.

Born on Jan. 31, 1962, he was the son of Rosa Hanna Scott of East Hampton and Frank Hanna II of Nassau, Bahamas. He attended preschool both in East Hampton and at the St. Augustus Preschool in the Bahamas.

Mr. Hanna enlisted in the Army after his graduation from East Hampton High School in 1980 and completed basic training at Fort Jackson in South Carolina, specializing in communication and data processing. He was stationed later at Fort Gordon, Ga.; in Oakland, Calif., and in Seattle, and was also deployed to South Korea for a year. The recipient of an Army Good Conduct Medal and ribbons for Army and overseas service, he held the rank of Specialist 4 at the time of his honorable discharge in 1986. He was a member of East Hampton Post of the American Legion in Amagansett.

Though he had served as an altar boy at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in East Hampton, he later joined the Calvary Baptist Church, where a wake was held yesterday. Funeral services will take place there this afternoon at 1, the Rev. Walter S. Thompson presiding.

Mr. Hanna met his wife, Doris Rolle, in 1980, while visiting his father in the Bahamas. The couple married in 1985.

He loved cookouts and enjoyed a good meal, his family said. Inseparable from his cellphone, and wearing the jewelry he loved to wear, “you could always see Frank with the biggest grin,” they said, adding that he enjoyed most of all the company of his wife, children, and mother, and also loved to vacation in the Bahamas with his father and other family members. He was always there for his mother, an artist, the family said, and always drove her to and from her art shows from Hempstead to Montauk.

Mr. Hanna’s first job was with Henry Haney of East Hampton, cutting lawns. He also worked for Coit Carpet Cleaning, at the Hess service station, and at the town recycling center before re-establishing the cleaning service founded by his father. He worked there “passionately,” his family said, until the time of his death.

He is survived by his wife, Doris Rolle Hanna, and their three children, Frank Hanna Jr., Franaldo Hanna, and Alexandria Hanna, all of East Hampton. His mother, who lives in East Hampton, and father, of the Bahamas, survive as well, as do two sisters, Katrin Hanna and Francis Chong of the Bahamas, and one grandson.

Burial at Cedar Lawn Cemetery in East Hampton will follow today’s funeral service. The family has suggested memorial contributions to American Legion Post 419, P.O. Box 1265, East Hampton 11937.

Sean Bos, who grew up in Springs and had worked as a commercial fisherman out of Montauk Harbor at one time, died in Northbrook, Ill., on March 21 of a heart attack, his family said. He was 40.

Mr. Bos was the owner of an Allstate Insurance agency in Pocatello, Idaho. He had begun working for Allstate in Charlotte, N.C., after moving there in 2010, then moved to Idaho in 2014. He lived in Chubbuck, Idaho, a Pocatello suburb, with his wife, Leslie Lien.

Mr. Bos was a gun enthusiast and enjoyed spending time at shooting ranges. His three dogs were another of his great pleasures, Ms. Lien said.

During his years at Allstate in Charlotte he was a top performer, ranking in the top 5 percent, Ms. Lien said. In 2014 he was promoted to team leader and sent to Pocatello. His Idaho team also received a top ranking.

He was born on April 3, 1975, in Hempstead to James Bos and Eileen Brierley and attended the Springs School and East Hampton High School.

He is survived by his wife; his father, who lives in North Myrtle Beach, S.C.; his mother, who lives in East Hampton, and his siblings, Kelly Kalman, Ashley Bos, and Jessie Bos of East Hampton, Jamie Bos of Massachusetts, and Thomas Bos of New Hampshire.

A funeral Mass for him will be said at Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church in East Hampton on April 9 at 11 a.m. with the Rev. Donald Hanson officiating.

Visiting hours for Barbara Peyton of East Hampton, who died on Monday at the Hamptons Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing in Southampton, will begin at 11 a.m. on Saturday at Calvary Baptist Church on Spinner Lane in East Hampton, with her funeral at 1 p.m. Ms. Peyton was 94. An obituary will appear in a future issue.

Donna Marie Passamonte, who lived on Gingerbread Lane in East Hampton Village until 2002, died at the Peconic Bay Medical Center in Riverhead on March 16 at the age of 57. The cause of death was pneumonia, her sister-in-law, Diane Rogers Passamonte, said.

Ms. Passamonte, who was born on Jan. 25, 1959, at Southampton Hospital, was a year and a half old when she contracted encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain often caused by an infection, after being stung by a wasp. She suffered severe brain damage, her family said, and spent the rest of her life in a wheelchair. Her mother, the former Jessie Zelinski, cared for her until she was almost 80, at which time Ms. Passamonte went to live at the Independent Group Home Living in East Moriches.

Her mother died in 2011; her father, Charles Passamonte, had died many years before.

All these years later, the Passamonte family is still grateful for the many women in the East Hampton community who tried to help her sister-in-law, Diane Passamonte said. In the 1960s, they assisted with the process known as “patterning,” which is said to help with neurological development.

Donna Marie Passamonte is survived by her older brother, Charles Justin Passamonte of Springs. She also leaves a cousin, Gary DeAmario, and his wife, Ursula DeAmario, of East Hampton, who remained close to her.

A funeral Mass was said at Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church in East Hampton on March 19, followed by burial at the church cemetery. Memorial donations have been suggested to the Independent Group Home Living Program Inc., 65 Pine Street, East Moriches 11940.

A full obituary will appear in a future issue of The Star.

Gerard J. Kucker, the owner of a tree removal and contracting company, died at his Sycamore Drive, Springs, home on Feb. 24. He was 57 years old and his family said he had a heart attack.

Mr. Kucker was born on Dec. 10, 1958, in Harlem. He came to East Hampton as a teenager with his mother, Dorothy Dext, for the wedding of a relative, and they decided to stay on after Ms. Dext found employment here. Mr. Kucker began working for Ralph Mayor, the owner of the Montauk Motel, who became his foster father.

Mr. Kucker attended East Hampton High School and received a general education diploma. In his 20s he worked for the Viking Fleet in Montauk, and later, for more than 22 years, he worked for Volk’s Montauk Disposal. More recently, for the last nine years, Mr. Kucker owned and operated his own company, East End Trees. 

He was married for about 10 years to Lee Cavioli; they were divorced in 1996. A motorcycle enthusiast, Mr. Kucker suffered a bad motorcycle accident in 2004 and worked extremely hard to regain the ability to walk, said one of his sons, Anthony Kucker of East Hampton.

Mr. Kucker had a favorite saying, “L.W.W.L.,” which stood for “look where we live.” It referred to his love of his surroundings on the East End, particularly the beach and the water.

In addition to his son Anthony, Mr. Kucker is survived by another son, Dominick Kucker, also of East Hampton. The family received visitors at the Yardley and Pino Funeral Home in East Hampton Friday and Saturday­. Cremation followed.

Charles Emerson McKenney, 84, a Wainscott resident since the late 1970s who had a long career as a patent lawyer with the Manhattan firm of Pennie & Edmunds, died on March 1 at Palm Beach Hospice in Florida after a weeklong illness.

Mr. McKenney joined the law firm, of which he became a partner, soon after graduating from the University of Virginia Law School in 1959. He had already served for three years as a Naval officer and had earned a bachelor’s degree in engineering from Yale University in 1954. 

He was born on Feb. 28, 1932, in Summit, N.J., to Maurice McKenney and the former Florence Bishop. Growing up in New Jersey, he attended the Pingry School in Basking Ridge.

Mr. McKenney and Helaine (Bobo) Hobby were married in 1962 and settled in Darien, Conn., where they maintained a residence into the 1990s. The family began summering on the East End in the 1960s  in a rented cottage on Flying Point Road in Water Mill before buying a house on Main Street in Wainscott in the 1970s.

While the family loved spending the day at the beach, Mr. McKenney’s recreation was golf. He would join the family briefly at the ocean, then it was off to the links. He was a longtime member of the Shinnecock Hills Golf Club and, before that, of the Bridgehampton Club, where he played golf and the couple entertained guests.

Hobby Coudert recalled yesterday that her parents loved to entertain during the summer, and that she grew up in an atmosphere of music, dancing, and fine food. “Everybody who has written and called has told me he was known for his hospitality and his sense of humor,” Ms. Coudert said. “There were lots of happy times in our house,” she said. He was a superb dancer, she said. The music was usually Big Band style, though every Fourth of July, Mr. McKenney would bring in a Dixieland jazz band. The couple later joined the Devon Yacht Club in Amagansett, not to sail but to entertain. They loved dining with their guests on the club’s deck and watching the sunset, Ms. Hobby said.

After Mr. McKenney retired from his law practice, at the beginning of the new century, the McKenneys decided to “re-shuffle,” selling the house on Main Street and buying one on Sachem’s Path in Wainscott, as well as another in West Palm Beach. They subsequently divided their time between them. 

In addition to his wife of 53 years and his daughter Hobby Coudert, who lives in New York City and Stonington, Conn., Mr. McKenney is survived by two other children, Wensley McKenney of Bedford, N.Y., and Westhampton Beach and Phillip McKenney of West Palm Beach, and by four grandchildren.

 Mr. McKenney was a member of St. Ann’s Episcopal Church in Bridgehampton as well as Bethesda-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church in Palm Beach, and he was buried in the Wainscott Cemetery following a family graveside service led by the Rev. Timothy Lewis. The family plans a memorial service here this summer. 

Memorial contributions have been suggested to Palm Beach Hospice, c/o Trustbridge, 5300 East Avenue, West Palm Beach, Fla. 33407.

Frederick Bridges Onderdonk, who lived in Amagansett for many years before moving to Baldwinsville in 2008, died of an unexpected illness on Feb. 21 at Longwood Regional Medical Center in Fort Pierce, Fla., surrounded by his family. He was 81 and had been vacationing in Vero Beach. 

Mr. Onderdonk, a tenor, sang in the St. Luke’s Episcopal Church choir in East Hampton for 30 years, starting in the 1970s. A funeral will be held there  at 11 a.m. tomorrow and he will be buried at St. Luke’s Memorial Garden.

“Throughout Fred’s life, his beautiful voice would resonate in the hearts of all he met, for he gave the gift of music generously. You could count on Fred to burst into melody at social Fred to burst into melody at social gatherings, restaurants, or passing pedestrians, and his audience was always appreciative,” his family said.

  Mr. Onderdonk had been a lead soloist and boarding student from the third through eighth grades at the St. Thomas Episcopal Church Choir School in Manhattan, from which he graduated in 1949. He went to Dwight Darrow High School and to Fairleigh Dickinson University. After graduating, he became a singer using the stage name Fred Todd. He sang on radio programs and was spotlighted in a few television shows. His favorite songs to perform were “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” and “A Foggy Day in London Town.”  

After marrying the former Elizabeth Ruth Gordon on Oct. 27, 1957, Mr. Onderdonk became a sales executive. The couple met in the early 1950s on Indian Wells Beach in Amagansett; he was a Maidstone Beach lifeguard at the time. They moved throughout his career, living in Atlanta and Nashville as well as Huntington, but always returned to Amagansett for the summer. His father-in-law, Donald Gordon, who bought land in Amagansett in the 1920s where he built a house, later built another for his daughter and son-in-law. The couple eventually retired to Amagansett, where they lived full time for 30 years. 

He was born on Jan. 18, 1935, in Englewood, N.J., to Gertrude Onderdonk and John Clark Onderdonk.  Citing his many lifelong friendships, his family said he was “a loyal, loving friend, and always kept in touch.” 

His wife survives, as do two children, Karen Blakeley of Foxboro, Mass., and Donald Onderdonk of Baldwinsville, and a sister, Sue Bach of Chapel Hill, N.C. Seven grandchildren and many cousins, nephews, and nieces also survive. In addition to his parents, a sister, Beth Walker, and a brother, Jack Onderdonk, died before him.

Memorial donations have been suggested to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation at JDRF.org. 

Elizabeth Siedsma

Elizabeth Ann Siedsma, a lifelong advocate for dogs, cats, and wildlife, died on Feb. 24 at The Springs at Lake Pointe Woods nursing home in Sarasota, Fla. She was 96.

The daughter of James S. Rice and the former Mabel Jones, she was born on April 8, 1919, in Utica, N.Y., and lived for a time in Los Angeles before coming to the East End to be near a daughter. She lived in Sag Harbor for five years and in East Hampton for a decade. 

After moving to Florida, she returned to the East End every summer until a few years ago.

Her daughter, Gail Wroldsen of Sarasota, survives. A son, Gary (Bo) Siedsma, predeceased his mother in 2013, and a brother, Stanley Rice, died a year and a half ago.

John Hudson, a longtime resident of East Hampton who worked as a fisherman in Montauk, died of cancer on Feb. 10 in Virginia Beach, Va., where he had moved in the last year. He was 61 and had been ill for eight months.

He was born in Southampton on Nov. 24, 1954, to James Hudson and the former Lucy Rose, both of whom died before him. He grew up on Town Lane in East Hampton and graduated from East Hampton High School. He was a member of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church.

Mr. Hudson left East Hampton after his mother died, his sister, Della Hudson of Hempstead, said. He moved to Arizona about 12 years ago and remained there for a few years.

Along with fishing and hunting, Mr. Hudson loved motorcycles, his sister said, and owned several Harley-Davidsons. He had worked as a long-distance truck driver for a time and owned his own rig, she said. “He was a very simple person. He was not a person that wanted a whole lot of attention.”

 In addition to Ms. Hudson, three other sisters survive. They are Thomasina Davis of Chesapeake, Va., Juanita Monroe of Havelock, N.C., and Vanessa Wilkes of Virginia Beach. Two nieces and a nephew also survive.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday at 11 a.m. at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Roosevelt, the Rev. Jerome Taylor presiding. Mr. Hudson was cremated, and his ashes are to be scattered in the waters off Montauk.

His family has suggested memorial contributions to the American Cancer Society, P.O. Box 22478, Oklahoma City, Okla., or to donate.cancer.org.
