As a registered nurse, Ann Marie Moylan was always eager to provide nurturing care to the sick, whether in one of the management positions she held at Southampton Hospital and other health care facilities, or simply as a loving aunt who ladled out chicken noodle soup for an ailing niece. 

After graduating from Pierson High School, the lifelong resident of Sag Harbor earned a bachelor of science degree in nursing from the College of New Rochelle and later a master’s degree in nursing administration from New York University.  

Her most recent job was as a consultant for the medical records company Allscripts, but much of Ms. Moylan’s early career was focused on hospital care. Her first job was as a nurse manager of the pulmonary unit at New York Hospital. She then worked as a nurse manager at Southampton Hospital before becoming the director of nursing at St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center in Smithtown. It was at St. Catherine’s that Ms. Moylan died of complications from esophageal cancer on Feb. 16. She was 53. 

Born on Aug. 9, 1964, in Southampton to William Harry Moylan and the former Ruth Ward, Ms. Moylan was a member of the Sigma Theta Tau International Nursing Society, the American Association of Nurse Executives, the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society, and the American Nursing Informatics Association. She “wanted to make a difference in health care and she did just that, going to great lengths to achieve her goals, advocating for patients and lobbying that all nurses receive a bachelor’s degree, because she wanted the best for everyone,” her family wrote.

She never married but she was a fixture in the lives of the three daughters of her surviving sister, Theresa M. Samot. “It didn’t take much for the nurse in Ann to come out,” said her niece Colleen Samot in the eulogy she gave at the funeral Mass at St. Andrew’s Catholic Church in Sag Harbor. She played many pivotal roles in the family. When Colleen and her sisters, Kathleen and Mary, were growing up, “Ann would be a clown for our birthdays, a magician when we got older, and Santa Claus on Christmas morning,” recalled Colleen. 

Ms. Moylan was an active member of the St. Andrew’s community whose strong faith informed all that she did, her family said. 

Visiting hours were held at the Yardley and Pino Funeral Home in Sag Harbor on Feb. 18. The next day, the Rev. Peter Devaraj officiated at the funeral ceremony and burial at St. Andrew’s Cemetery. The family has suggested donations to Cormaria Retreat House in Sag Harbor.

Ruth Marie Harkins, an Amagansett native who had been living in Fort Myers Beach, Fla., since retiring from the United States Postal Service, died on Feb. 21 at Joanne’s House at Hope Hospice in Bonita Springs, Fla. She was 90 and had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Mrs. Harkins met her husband-to-be, Harold J. Harkins, then a New York State trooper, at the Montauk Post Office, where she worked and her father was postmaster. She and Mr. Harkins, who survives, married in August 1955. They lived and brought up four children in Brewster, N.Y., Okemos, Mich., and Columbus, Ohio. 

Her children, all of whom survive, said their father was “the true love of her life” and that their parents enjoyed their retirement in Fort Myers Beach, in particular the beach and family vacations. Their mother loved holidays and celebrating birthdays and anniversaries, they said, and was enthusiastic about lighthouses, seagulls, and a certain way of wearing custom T-shirts and suspenders. As a more than 40-year post office employee, she honored the American flag, they said. She was active in the Catholic Church, having been a member of St. Therese of Lisieux in Montauk. After retirement, she and her husband often brought their children to Montauk to visit her parents.

Ruth Marie Harkins was born on Sept. 1, 1927, in Amagansett, one of seven children of Theodore and Beatrice Santacroce Cook of Montauk. She graduated from East Hampton High School and went to work for the Postal Service in 1943, retiring in 1991. 

Her children are Edward Harkins of Santiago, Chile, Theodore Harkins of Los Angeles, Lori Whitney of San Francisco, and Lisa Fell of Newport, Ky. Her younger brother, John Cook of Fort Worth, Tex., is the only one of the seven siblings who survives. 

In addition to Mr. Cook and her husband and children, dozens of nieces and nephews and six grandchildren survive.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on March 16 at 11 a.m. at the Church of the Ascension in Fort Myers Beach, followed by the burial of Mrs. Harkins’s ashes in the church’s memorial garden. Donations have been suggested for Church of the Ascension, 6025 Estero Boulevard, Fort Myers Beach, Fla. 33931, or Hope Hospice, 27200 Imperial Parkway, Bonita Springs, Fla. 34135

Mary Frances Theban, known as Polly, died of complications of pneumonia on Feb. 16 at Peconic Bay Medical Center in Riverhead. She was 78.

Ms. Theban, who grew up in Remsenburg, had an aunt with polio who loved being in the water, so in 1948, when Ms. Theban was 9, her father bought a lot on Three Mile Harbor Drive in East Hampton and built a small, unheated cottage on it. It was there that she and her parents and her aunt spent summers. Her friends called her “a passionate sailor and enthusiast of the SS class” of wooden boats built on the South Shore of Long Island. She owned one that she named Loon and that she sailed in Quantuck Bay, near Quogue, and Moriches Bay throughout her life.

Ms. Theban was possessed of an “extraordinarily generous spirit and belief in the ambitions of others,” her friends wrote, and remained “an unwavering source of support for many people.” And not just people: She was a protector of wildlife and a supporter of many animal rescue efforts over the years, they said.

Mary Frances Theban was born in Ohio on Sept. 17, 1939, the daughter of the former Mary Frances Sanborn, known as Molly, and John Gerard Theban, who was a longtime director of Family and Child Services of Washington, D.C., and who had a deep influence on his daughter.

After attending Smith College and the Columbia University School of Social Work, Ms. Theban went to Turkey to teach. Upon her return she taught in Fairfax County, Va.

“With a keen intellect, open mind, and wonderful wit, Polly charmed all who met her,” her friends wrote. “She will be deeply missed by all those whose lives were blessed by her warmth and devotion.”

Ms. Theban did not marry or have children, but she is survived by “a wide net of dear friends,” as well as her four cats. There will be a private gathering in the near future to celebrate her life. Memorial donations have been suggested to the Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation, P.O. Box 696, Hampton Bays 11946.

Michel Berty, an international businessman and IT pioneer, died at home in Wainscott on Feb. 12 of pulmonary fibrosis. He was 78.

For more than 25 years, Mr. Berty was chief executive officer of Cap Gemini, one of the world’s largest IT consulting, outsourcing, and professional services companies, which he helped found. For promoting French culture and business in the United States after the formation of Cap Gemini America, he was been named a chevalier of the French Legion of Honor and an officer of the National Order of Merit. Recently, he had devoted himself to such charities as Surgeons of Hope, East End Disabilities Associates, and L’Arche, which supports and seeks to make known the gifts of people with intellectual disabilities. Mr. Berty helped raise money for L’Arche to purchase a building in Riverhead, and, according to Mr. Berty’s daughter Apolline Berty, plans are underway to purchase a second L’Arche home in East Hampton.

He was born in Marseille, France, on May 14, 1939, to Paul Berty and the former Marguerite Braunschveig, and grew up in Paris. He received a Ph.D. in physics and a master’s of business administration from the Sorbonne.

“He was a performer and an entertainer,” Apolline Berty said. “He loved food and wine, music and singing. He had a gorgeous voice. He loved life and he wanted people around him all the time.” He had recently begun writing a memoir, saying he was a charmer as a boy.

On Aug. 24, 1990, he was married to Marie-Eve Thery in Ranatuelle in the South of France. The couple settled in New York in 1994 and purchased a home in Wainscott soon after; it became their year-round residence in 2006.

In addition to his daughter Apolline Berty, who lives in Los Angeles, he is survived by his wife and three other children. They are Valerie Berty of Paris, Jean-Benoit Berty  of London, and Aurore Berty of L’Arche in Riverhead. He also is survived by four grandchildren. His daughter Caroline Berty died before him.

A Mass will be celebrated on Sunday at 3 p.m. at Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Church in Bridgehampton. Mr. Berty’s family has suggested memorial contributions to L’Arche, P.O. Box 354, Riverhead 11901.

Deborah Lee Scheffer of Montauk died unexpectedly on Friday at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital of complications related to childbirth. She was 36.

She is survived by her husband, Daniel Scheffer, and the couple’s two sons, Coen, age 4, and Benjamin, a newborn.

The couple moved from Easthampton, Mass., to Montauk in 2013 to help Mr. Scheffer’s grandfather Robert Schorr run his property management business. Mr. Schorr, a retired Marine and Hempstead police officer, formed Schorr Caretaker Services in 1979.

“She was the most caring, thoughtful, loving person anyone had ever met,” said Bethany McLaughlan, Mr. Scheffer’s sister. “She loved to knit. She was passionate about cooking. She had all Ina Garten’s books. And she was the best gift-giver. Nothing fancy or expensive, just thoughtful, and connected to you.”

Ms. Scheffer was born in Hartford, Conn., on March 29, 1981, to Ted Kuracz Sr. and the former Barbara Coe of Windsor, Conn., who survive.

In addition to her husband, children, and parents, she is also survived by her brothers, Ted Kuracz Jr. and Michael Kuracz, both of Windsor Locks, Conn., four nieces and nephews, and several aunts, uncles, and cousins.

A funeral service will be held on Saturday at 2 p.m. at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses at 675 Scuttlehole Road in Water Mill.

Ms. Scheffer’s story inspired an outpouring of compassion and generosity on Facebook, and a GoFundMe page created by her family and friends the day after her death raised more than $37,000 of a $100,000 goal in a matter of days. The link was shared 1,700 times in locations on the East End and beyond.

“It takes some of the sting out of the pain,” Ms. McLaughlan said. “To know that people she never knew would be touched by her story and would want to reach out to help her husband and sons get through this tragedy. It’s amazing.”

Lisa Anne Hegner Ward, a Montauk woman who was devoted to her church, her children’s schools, and to East Hampton High School’s basketball teams, died at home on Feb. 5. She was 55 and had been diagnosed with cancer just five months ago.

Ms. Ward was born on Sept. 20, 1962, to Ray and Bonnie Archer Hegner. She attended the Montauk School, East Hampton High School, Syracuse University, and received a Long Island University bachelor’s degree, having attended its Southampton campus.

She and John B. Ward were married on June 18, 1987, and she joined him at John Ward Plumbing and Heating. He survives.

Ms. Ward was on the Montauk School Board, president of the Montauk PTA, and a deacon of the Montauk Community Church. A supporter of both boys and girls basketball teams, she was often seen at games in which her son, Hayden Ward, now of Binghamton, N.Y., and daughter, Ryann Ward, of Montauk, played. They survive, as do two sisters, Laura Hegner of Patchogue and Bonnie Jean Hegner of Montauk.

Plans for a memorial had not been announced by press time.

Donald R. Smith of Manhattan and East Hampton died on Nov. 5 of prostate cancer, which was diagnosed 22 years ago. He was 80.

He was a keen outdoorsman, climbing Mount Rainier in Washington State and hiking the John Muir Trail through the Sierra Nevada range in California, biking (especially in France), windsurfing, and sailing. 

Mr. Smith kept boats in Accabonac Harbor from 1986, when he first started spending time in East Hampton, until 2015. He enjoyed sailing his catboat, Chat Botte, with his wife, children, and friends, his family said. He was proud of his garden and also was an eager reader, particularly of history. He became a skilled photographer, documenting events first at his high school and later on during his many trips throughout the United States and Europe, taking special delight in training his lens on his children and grandchildren.

As a young man, his family said, Mr. Smith traveled all over Europe working at various jobs — picking fruit and planting truffle oaks in Provence, and toiling at a steel factory in Sweden to pay for extended winter skiing in Austria.

Donald Smith was born in Oakland, Calif., in November 1937 to the former Mina Knowles and Theodore R. Smith. He grew up in the San Francisco Bay area, including Alamo and Carmel-by-the-Sea, graduating from San Ramon Valley High School. He went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in history in 1959 from the California State University at Berkeley. He lived in San Francsico between 1961 and 1970, when he moved to Manhattan. 

He worked at the Federal Reserve Bank in San Francisco for five years, in information technology at Tenneco Chemicals in Berkeley and Piscataway, N.J., and at Citibank in Manhattan. From 1995 to 2002, Mr. Smith was a consultant at the United Nations, which gave him a U.N. 21 award, honoring his exemplary initiative.

He married Christine Lemarchand on April 24, 1971. They bought a house in East Hampton in 1986. She survives. With their children, the couple traveled to California and Europe, especially northern France, to visit extended family. In 2014, Mr. Smith took a monthlong trip to the West Coast national parks he had visited as a child with his parents. Mr. Smith enjoyed spending time with his three grandchildren, “discussing their achievements and telling them stories,” his family said.

Mr. Smith was cremated. There was a private funeral. In addition to his wife and three grandchildren, his two daughters, Caroline O’Connell of Topsfield, Mass., and Emilie Smith of Chicago, survive, as do six brothers-in-law and five sisters-in-law in France.

Sharon Einsmann of Durham, N.C., died  of pulmonary failure there on Monday, at the Treyburn Rehabilitation Center. She was 74 and had been in poor health for some time.

Ms. Einsmann came from an Amagansett family of Long Island Rail Road engineers that included her great-grandfather James Eichhorn, her grandfather George Eichhorn, and her father, Edward Eichhorn. Her maternal grandfather was an Amagansett whaler. 

Her daughter Pamela Schreiber of Southampton recalled being able to ride the train for free as a child.

Ms. Einsmann was born in Queens in 1944, one of three children of Edward Eichhorn and the former Alberta Bartman. She went to school there. She 

and Anthony Einsmann married and brought up their three daughters in Amagansett. He died before her.

In Amagansett, Ms. Einsmann ran a day care business out of her house. Her daughter said she loved children. She also loved spending time at the beach. She moved to Durham in 1984.

In addition to her daughter Pamela Schreiber, her other daughters, Dawn Eckhoff of Durham and Christine Williams of Timberlake, N.C., survive, as do nine grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Her sister, Kathy Schutler of North Carolina, survives; her brother, Edward Eichhorn, died before her.

A funeral will take place tomorrow in Durham at 4 p.m. at Clements Funeral Chapel, 1105 Broad Street, with the Rev. Eric Prenshaw officiating. The family will receive friends there in the gathering room, following the service.

Nina Walker Wainwright, a graduate of the Brearley School in Manhattan and of Pine Manor College, outside Boston, was very energetic throughout her life in the pursuit of a broad variety of civic causes and charitable activities. She died at home on Dunemere Lane in East Hampton Village on Friday after a long illness, her family said. She was 88.

Mrs. Wainwright was a founding member of the Volunteer Organization of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a group that numbered only 12 when she began donating her time as a docent in 1967, but that now numbers more than 1,400. She led the Ladies’ Board of the Boys’ Club of New York, helping organize, among other things, a fund-raiser at the Plaza Hotel for some 500 guests. For three years she served as the president of the Colony Club, the storied private social organization for women on Park Avenue 

On the South Fork, her full-time home for the last 15 years of her life, she was an active member of the Maidstone Club and the Garden Club of East Hampton. Her late husband, Carroll Livingston Wainwright Jr., was a descendant of Peter Stuyvesant on his father’s side and of the railroad magnate Jay Gould on his mother’s. When they married in the summer of 1948, she was already known to the readers of The New York Times — which reported on the wedding day and what she wore (a tulle gown and an heirloom-lace veil) — as a debutante of extraordinary beauty; he was a student at Yale University and a former member of the Marine Air Corps. Over the years, Mrs. Wainwright and her husband fostered an avid interest in the environment and land preservation — most notably in Montana, where they maintained a second home.

By any standard she was an early user of the internet, which allowed her to keep in close contact with her grandchildren, her family said. Throughout her life, they said, she maintained standards of behavior and of style that were admired by all who knew her.

She was born in New York City to Delos Walker, general manager of R.H. Macy, and his wife, the former Nina Sebring. The Walker family divided its time between New York City and East Hampton, where the young people’s summer social life revolved around sports and swimming at the Maidstone Club, dances with friends at the Devon Yacht Club, and the July fair put on by the Ladies Village Improvement Society.

Mrs. Wainwright is survived by her sons, D. Walker Wainwright of East Hampton and Mark L. Wainwright of Los Gatos, Calif., as well as by her sister, Judith Walker Laughlin of East Hampton. Four grandchildren and five great-grandchildren also survive. When her husband died in 2016, they had been married for 68 years.

Dr. Robert Hayes Stackpole of Elizabeth, N.J., and Bluff Road in Amagansett died on Jan. 28 at Trinitas Hospital in Elizabeth. 

Mr. Stackpole was born on Nov. 19, 1930, in Montclair, N.J., to Philip West Stackpole and the former Sarah Musson. He attended Montclair High School, graduated cum laude from Amherst College, and received his medical degree from Cornell University College of Medicine. 

After completing an internship at Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan and a residency in surgery at New York Hospital, he served as a United States Navy lieutenant commander at the Bronx Veterans Administration Hospital. After that, Mr. Stackpole returned to New Jersey, where he practiced urology in Elizabeth for more than 50 years. He retired at the age of 83.

There are many doctors, across several generations, in the Stackpole family. Dr. Stackpole married Henriette Abel at the Second Presbyterian Church of Elizabeth on Sept. 7, 1957. She, like her groom, attended Cornell University College of Medicine, and would get her medical degree from Cornell in 1959. The couple enjoyed 60 “wonderful, glorious” years together, according to the family, during which time they raised four daughters.

Mr. Stackpole is survived by his wife, who is a dermatologist in Elizabeth, and by his daughters, Sarah Stackpole of Elizabeth, Betsy Stackpole Koch of Chicago, Jane Stackpole Vogel of Newton, Mass., and Alice Stackpole Eagleson of Kennebunk, Me; by his five living grandchildren, and by a large extended family. He was preceded in death by his youngest grandchild, Drew Eagleson.

In addition to his long career as a practicing physician, Mr. Stackpole was a founding partner of Urological Group of Union County and president of the medical staffs of Elizabeth General Medical Center and Alexian Brothers Hospital, both of which were incorporated into Trinitas Hospital.

He was distinguished by his colleagues in being elected to several high posts in his profession. He was president of the New York Section of the American Urological Association and chairman of the New Jersey delegation to the American Medical Association; president of the Union County Medical Society, and president of the New Jersey Society of Surgeons.

He was a loyal alumnus of Amherst College, and served as class agent and then president of his alumni class.

The Stackpole family said they would like to extend its gratitude to the staff of Trinitas Hospital for all the kindness and loving care he received during his final days. A memorial service will be held on March 3 at 11 a.m. at the Suburban Golf Club in Union, N.J.
