Margaret Fromm, 90

Margaret Fromm, a longtime resident of Amagansett who was known for her handmade crafts, died on Feb. 13 surrounded by family at the Gardens of North Port, an assisted living home in Florida. She was 90 years old and her death was from natural causes, her family said.

Mrs. Fromm was born in Brooklyn on Oct. 3, 1925, the youngest of four daughters of John Dehanich and the former Katherine Uravich. She was raised in the Bay Ridge neighborhood and was a member of the first graduating class of Fontbonne Hall Academy, a Catholic high school for girls.

In 1945, she married Frederick Fromm, who her family said was “the love of her life.” The couple would have five sons and enjoy 42 years of marriage before Mr. Fromm’s death in 1987.

The Fromms moved to Rockville Centre in the early 1950s and in 1960 began spending summers at the Napeague Camping Club at Lazy Point. They moved to Amagansett and became year-round residents in 1980. Mrs. Fromm moved to North Port last year.

“Margaret enjoyed living on the East End surrounded by her sons and their families. Large family gatherings with fresh-caught seafood were the norm every weekend,” her family wrote.

Mrs. Fromm enjoyed ceramics and crocheting, presenting her handiwork to her children and grandchildren as gifts. She also loved playing bingo and cards and taking trips to Atlantic City with friends. She also cherished her dog, Daisy, a Cairn terrier, and was an active member of Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church, where a funeral Mass will be said at 10 a.m. tomorrow. She also enjoyed the East Hampton Senior Center and attended the meeting of AARP.

Mrs. Fromm is survived by her sons, Robert Fromm of Earlysville, Va., Gerard Fromm of North Port, Fla., Donald Fromm of Shoreham, Thomas Fromm of Southampton, England, and Michael Fromm of Amagansett. She also leaves 15 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren.

The family will welcome visitors to the Yardley and Pino Funeral Home in East Hampton from 5 to 9 p.m. today. Burial at St. Charles Cemetery in Farmingdale will follow the Mass.

Mrs. Fromm’s family has suggested memorial contributions to East End Hospice, P.O. Box 1048, Westhampton Beach 11978.
