The family of Mae Harden of East Hampton, who died on Tuesday, will receive visitors today from 3:30 to 7 p.m. at the Yardley and Pino Funeral Home in East Hampton. 

A funeral Mass will be said tomorrow at 11 a.m. at Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church in East Hampton. Ms. Harden was 88. An obituary will appear in a future issue.

“Sweetheart, it’s time to leave,” Gerson Leiber said to Judith Leiber, his wife of 72 years, late Friday night. By 5 a.m. on Saturday he was gone, and she died shortly afterward, at 10:30, according to Jeffrey Sussman, a longtime friend and biographer of the couple.

“They died within five hours of each other,” he said on Monday of the couple known to friends as Gus and Judy. “It was the end to a perfect love story.”

Judith Leiber was a famed handbag designer whose creations were carried by celebrities, dignitaries, and royalty. Her husband was an artist known for both abstract and representational modernist paintings. Unlike most married couples of their era in Springs, where they spent time when they weren’t in New York City and where they died, his career took a back seat to her work.

“In 1963 he told her ‘you have to start your own business,’ ” Mr. Sussman recalled. “You should not be working for schnooks; you should be recognized for your artistic talents.” Mr. Sussman added that Mr. Leiber would carry boxes of his wife’s handbags on city buses himself to get them to the stores. “He could not have been more proud of her. He thought he married a genius.”

Ms. Leiber’s day and evening bags, for which she designed metal minaudieres in the shape of animals, vegetables, eggs, and other objects drenched in Swarovski crystals, were carried by the likes of Greta Garbo, Oprah Winfrey, Mamie Eisenhower, Diana Ross, Carrie Bradshaw, and Hillary Clinton. Carrying a Leiber bag to a presidential inauguration was an informal tradition among many first ladies.

In 2008, the couple opened a small state-of-the-art museum on their Springs property, calling it the Leiber Collection. It held each of their works as well as objects they had collected on their travels and the Chinese ceramics they liked to acquire. Much of the ceramic collection was sold at Sotheby’s this year. 

Before their deaths, the couple began a foundation to assure that the museum would continue after they were gone. Patti Kenner, a close friend and a foundation trustee, said the building would be retained, continuing its annual summer exhibition program, as would the property’s sculpture garden. The garden was a passion of Mr. Leiber, who designed its “intricately patterned world of hedges and reillage,” according to the museum’s website. 

There are no immediate plans to sell the house, but Mr. Sussman said it was Mr. Gerson’s wish that the property, exclusive of the sculpture garden, be sold and the money used to maintain the museum and garden. 

“They had no children. The handbags and the artwork were their children, and the museum is their gift to the community,” Ms. Kenner said.

Mr. Sussman said the couple were “kind and generous to everyone around them. He helped indigent artists and she helped people of limited means succeed in fashion,” with a scholarship she established at the Fashion Institute of Technology. He supported Bar Ilan University in Israel and donated his own and other works to the high school he attended in Titusville, Pa.

Ms. Leiber was born Judith Marianne Peto in Budapest on Jan. 11, 1921, to Emil and Helen Peto. She grew up in Hungary and attended Kings College in London with thoughts of becoming a chemist and face cream impresario. Returning to Budapest after the outbreak of World War II, she entered an artisan guild, working her way up to become the first woman handbag apprentice and designer in Hungary. Her family was saved from the concentration camps during the war by sewing military uniforms. At the time, Ms. Leiber also made handbags at home using scraps of found materials.

Ms. Kenner, who is planning a documentary on the couple, said they met just after Hitler’s defeat. Mr. Leiber was a United States Army Signal Corps sergeant and was with a friend in Budapest when one of Ms. Leiber’s friends who was walking with her approached them to say hello. “He fell in love on the street of Budapest the minute he saw Judy. They both loved opera, and he invited her to the opera the day they met,” Ms. Kenner said.

They married in 1946 and settled in Brooklyn, where Mr. Leiber was born. Ms. Leiber began working for a succession of manufacturers until going into business, and, in 1963, she rented a small Manhattan loft. The company eventually occupied a 25,000-square-foot space in the West 30s and became prosperous, with purses selling for prices ranging from the hundreds to thousands of dollars. 

The first beaded handbag was the result of a happy accident. A metal purse Ms. Leiber planned as a gift arrived scratched, so she hid the marks with beads. Her other handbags are marked by unusual materials: Art Deco-influenced hardware, wood, Lucite, and seashells, to name a few. She was inspired by modern artists and the Asian art she collected, resulting in bags that resembled paintings by her husband, Sonia Delaunay, and Mondrian, and minaudieres in the shape of foo dogs and Chinese firecrackers. She retired in 2004.

Mr. Leiber was born in Brooklyn on Nov. 12, 1921, to Rebecca and William Leiber, a junk dealer. The family moved to Titusville, where he grew up. Before joining the military, he worked at a series of odd jobs, ending up at a newspaper. In the Army, he became a radio operator and served in North Africa and Naples before arriving in Hungary.

It was Ms. Leiber who encouraged him to pursue a dream to be an artist. He began taking art classes in Budapest and then enrolled in the Art Students League on the G.I. Bill when they arrived in New York. He continued studying at the Brooklyn Museum School of Art. He then opened a studio in the West Village for his paintings and graphic art and became an instructor, eventually showing his art at a series of gallery and museum exhibitions. 

In recent years, the couple’s work has been showcased in their museum and in shows such as a 2014 exhibition of Mr. Leiber’s late paintings at Carter Burden Gallery in Manhattan and her bags at the Museum of Art and Design last year. Their work also was in a joint exhibition at the Long Island Museum at Stony Brook last year.

A private service was held on Monday at Shaarey Pardes Accabonac Grove in Springs, where they were buried in the same plot at the suggestion of Ms. Kenner. “They are buried together — one grave, separate caskets — which is just what they would have wanted.” A celebration of their lives will take place at their museum this summer, which will have a memorial show “with as many of Judy’s bags and Gus’s artwork as possible.”

A memorial service and viewing for Marie L. Rosso of Springs, who died last Thursday, are planned for Saturday at Yardley and Pino Funeral Home in East Hampton. The viewing is to take place from noon to 1 p.m., with the service immediately follwing until about 2:15 p.m. Burial will follow at Cedar Lawn Cemetery in East Hampton.

Ms. Rosso, a teacher and artist, was 89. A full obituary will appear in a future issue.

A memorial for Robert Dennis Anderson, who died on April 21, will be held at the Windmill II community room today at 5 p.m. Windmill II is at 219 Accabonac Road in East Hampton.

Peter John Bellefountaine, who grew up in Montauk but departed for Colorado’s mountains shortly after finishing college, died on March 27 in Denver after an illness. He was 65.

Mr. Bellefountaine’s career followed a winding path that began when he worked aboard party fishing boats out of Montauk for a year following his graduation from the State University at Brockport. Skiing was one of his biggest passions, and he moved to Colorado as soon as he could. Other interests included bicycling, hiking, and diving.

He spent 15 years in food and beverage management, overseeing restaurants in Colorado, California, Texas, and North Carolina before taking up a career in finance. His final 20 years were as a wealth adviser with United Capital in Denver, living in Littleton, Colo. 

Mr. Bellefountaine was born in Greenport on Aug. 14, 1952, to the former Marjory Joan Lind and John Francis Bellefountaine. He attended the Montauk School and graduated from East Hampton High School.

He married Elizabeth Stark on Oct. 3, 1997. She died in 2015. 

A sister, Patricia Kinney of Montauk, survives, as do his children, Joseph Stark of Littleton, and Margaret Stark of Westminster, Colo., and several nieces and nephews and great-nieces and nephews. His funeral was on March 30 in Littleton.

Ms. Kinney said her brother’s main focus in life had been his wife and children.

Memorial donations have been suggested to the Boys and Girls Club of Denver, 2017 West 9th Avenue, Denver 80204.

Friends of Margaret Logan, who died last year, and her husband, Charles Coulter, who died in 2016, will gather for a celebration of their lives on Sunday at 2 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the South Fork on the Bridgehampton-Sag Harbor Turnpike in Bridgehampton. The Rev. Kimberly Quinn Johnson will lead the service, and friends have been invited to share their remembrances. 

The couple lived in Southampton Village for many years. Ms. Logan died in hospice care in Pennsylvania on Dec. 31.

A celebration of the life of Geraldine F. Tomitz, who died on Dec. 28, will be held on May 4 and 5 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Montauk Community Church. Friends have been asked to take “baked goods and good stories, for this is what she loved most.”

Clegburgh Hepburn Moseley of Springs, who worked for the East Hampton Town Highway Department for more than 10 years, died at home on Friday of cancer, his family said. He was 78.

Mr. Moseley, who was known to friends and co-workers as Mr. T, was born on Aug. 11, 1939, in Riverside, Hanover, Jamaica, to Julia Cunningham and Ethan Moseley.

Before coming to the United States, Mr. Moseley was a carpenter and a farmer, growing fruit and vegetables and raising cows, pigs, and goats. He cared for a large number of pet pigeons, and, his family said, they would become excited when they heard the sound of his approach on a Honda 50 motorcycle, which he rode everywhere.

An early union, with Iris Campbell, produced a daughter, Adricka Moseley of Jamaica, who survives. Later, he met Pearlina Samuel, from the neighboring Jamaica community of Gingerhill. They lived together for 15 years before marrying on Aug. 6, 1976, and they had six children. His family said Mr. Moseley was a dedicated husband and loving father. He was a member of Calvary Baptist Church in East Hampton.

The couple and their youngest child, Melisa, came to East Hampton in 1997, seeking better opportunities. The couple petitioned the federal government the next year to allow their other children to join them here, and they were successful in 2005. They also bought a house in Springs that year. Ms. Moseley died in 2016.

Mr. Moseley is survived by his children, Lynsfred Moseley, Andrew Moseley, Sandria Moseley, Julianne Moseley, and Melissa Moseley, all of East Hampton, and Curtist Moseley of Florida, in addition to Adricka Moseley. 

He is also survived by four brothers and four sisters, Wincent Moseley of Florida, Abraham Moseley, Clifford Dockery, and Joseph Dockery of Jamaica, Iris Edwards of the Bronx, Berdina McMahon of Pennsylvania, and Evadney Dockery and Frances Moseley of Jamaica, as well as 23 grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren.

Visiting hours will be on Monday from 10 a.m. to noon at Calvary Baptist Church, with a funeral to follow at the church. Burial will be at Cedar Lawn Cemetery in East Hampton after the service.

Lucille Carmella Malouche, an active member of the Montauk community who was a nurse and lieutenant commander in the Navy during the Korean War and World War II, died at the United Hebrew Geriatric Center in New Rochelle, N.Y., on Nov. 20, 2017, at the age of 97. 

Ms. Malouche was born in Highland, N.Y., on Aug. 28, 1920. After attending elementary school in Yonkers and graduating magna cum laude from New Rochelle High School, she spent two years at Hunter College before studying at St. Vincent’s Hospital in Manhattan to become a registered nurse. 

In 1943, Ms. Malouche joined the Navy as an ensign and served at St. Albans Naval Hospital in Queens. She spent 18 months at the Camp Lejeune military training facility in North Carolina that year, and later worked as a Navy nurse at a hospital in Seattle.

Upon her discharge in 1946, Ms. Ma­louche worked as a private nurse in California for a year and then returned to the East Coast to attend New York University, where she received a bachelor of science degree in 1950. She also began working in public health. 

The Navy recalled her in 1951 during the Korean War. Her second discharge was in 1952 and she remained in the Naval Reserve until retiring in 1980. In 1997, she was honored at the dedication of the Women In Military Service for America Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery. 

Following her second stint in the Navy, Ms. Malouche returned to New York University, receiving a master’s degree in 1955 and a professional certificate in 1959. She dedicated the remainder of her professional career to working as a nurse in the New Rochelle public schools, retiring in 1977. 

Ms. Malouche bought land in Montauk in 1968 and built a house there two years later. She made Montauk her permanent residence following her retirement, also spending time in Mount Vernon, N.Y. Her winters were often spent visiting her mother, Lena Malouche, in Florida. After her mother’s death, in 1989, she began traveling to Hawaii to visit her friend Virginia Pion. 

In 2004, Ms. Malouche sold her Montauk house and moved to the Montauk Manor. She was a member of the Montauk Village Association, Concerned Citizens of Montauk, the Friends of the Montauk Library, and the Montauk AARP. She was also on the committee that started the senior nutrition center at the Montauk Playhouse Community Center.

Ms. Malouche’s family said she was a devoutly spiritual person. She was a member of St. Therese of Lisieux Catholic Church in Montauk and the Altar Rosary Society in Honolulu. She is survived by a brother, William Malouche of Greenville, S.C., two nephews, a niece, and many cousins. She was buried at Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx on Dec. 11, 2017, receiving full Naval honors at the gravesite. A memorial Mass will be said at St. Therese of Lisieux on May 5 at 11 a.m.

Joan E. Damm, a member of the Montauk Fire Department’s Ladies Auxiliary for many years and its former treasurer, died at Stony Brook University Hospital on April 5 after having been flown there that day because of a brain aneurysm. She was 77.

Ms. Damm was the owner and manager of the Rod and Reel Motel in Montauk’s dock area from 1970 to about 1976. She was employed at several businesses in the hamlet after that, including as a cashier at the Montauk Yacht Club’s restaurant and for Charlie Grimes at Grimes Contracting for many years. In about 2000, she went to work for Perry B. Duryea and Sons, where she remained the bookkeeper until her death. 

She loved Montauk and enjoyed fishing. She also liked to go camping along the shore east of Gin Beach.

Ms. Damm was born on March 27, 1941, in Yonkers to Vincent Ruffino and the former Josephine Gorski. She grew up there and moved to Montauk 43 years ago, Cathy Damm, a daughter-in-law, said. She had two sons by her first marriage, Vincent J. Damm and Frank A. Damm, who were raised by her second husband, John A. Damm, her daughter-in-law said. He died in 1997.

Later, and until the day she died, she lived in Montauk with William Pitts Sr. He survives her.

In addition to Mr. Pitts and her sons, both of whom live in Montauk, she is survived by seven grandchildren and a brother, Fred Ruffino of Stuart, Fla. Another brother, Richard Ruffino, died before her.

A funeral service was held on April 11 at St. Therese of Lisieux Catholic Church in Montauk. She was buried at the hamlet’s Fort Hill Cemetery.

The family has suggested donations in her memory to the Montauk Fire Department’s Ladies Auxiliary, 12 Flamingo Avenue, Montauk 11954.
