Margaret Myers

Margaret Myers, who moved year-round to Maidstone Park in East Hampton about 30 years ago, died at her house on Mudford Avenue on Friday. She was 92 and had been in poor health for some time, her family said.

Much of Mrs. Myers’s life was focused around family and friends. Cooking for and entertaining guests were her joy. Coming from an Italian-American family in Queens, she never needed a cookbook to produce lasagna and other dishes, almost without effort. “She was hospitable; everyone was welcome,” said her daughter, Edna Myers of Mastic Beach.

She was a familiar face to many here as a manager at the Upper Crust Bakery, formerly on Springs-Fireplace Road in East Hampton, and at the Indian Wells Trading Co. store in Amagansett.

She drove a car well into her 80s, visiting people she knew UpIsland. The late Mary Long, her neighbor in Maidstone Park, was a close friend.

Mrs. Myers was born on Nov. 26, 1921, to Carmine Maletta and the former Philomina Muraco in Ozone Park. Her siblings all predeceased her, as did her ex-husband, Robert H. Myers. They were divorced before she moved to Maidstone Park full-time.

In addition to her daughter, she is survived by three sons, James and Timothy Myers of East Hampton and Robert Myers of Oceanside. She leaves one granddaughter.

A funeral Mass was said on Tuesday
