Joan T. Card

Joan T. Card, a lifelong resident of Amagansett and East Hampton, who was said to delight in local seafood, including lobster, scallops, and clams, died of pulmonary disease at her home in East Hampton on Nov. 11. She was 86. 

Born on Feb. 9, 1932, in Southampton to the former Elizabeth Casey and Leonard Scott, Ms. Card grew up on Oak Lane in Amagansett and attended the hamlet’s grade school, where her father was custodian, and then East Hampton High School. She worked as a waitress at Ma Bergman’s red-sauce  Italian restaurant in East Hampton, where Nick and Toni’s is today, and the former Sonny’s Diner in Amagansett. Her mother had been a cook at the Dennistoun Bell estate in Amagansett. 

In 1962, she married Robert Card, who died in 2008. The couple, who had four children, enjoyed camping in the Pennsylvania mountains. Ms. Card also

loved country and western music.

Her brother, Thomas Scott of Amagansett, and her children, Barbara Trebowski of Fort Myers, Fla., and Colleen Fennell and Douglas Card, both of East Hampton, survive, as do nine grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren, and 15 nieces and nephews. A son, Robbie Card, died before her, as did a sister, Gail Weaver.

Ms. Card was buried at Cedar Lawn Cemetery in East Hampton. A memorial service will be held in May. The family has suggested contributions to East End Hospice, P.O. Box 1048, Westhampton Beach 11978.
