Semira Breitweg, 95

Semira Breitweg, who had lived full time in East Hampton since the death of her husband in 1994, died on Nov. 13 at the Kanas Center for Hospice Care in Quiogue. She was 95. For the last six years she had lived on Three Mile Harbor-Hog Creek Road with her son and daughter-in-law; before that she had lived for 22 years on Flaggy Hole Road in Springs.

Known to her friends as Sally, Ms. Breitweg was born in Brooklyn on April 28, 1922, one of three children of the former Philomena Delano and Alphonse LaVecchia. She grew up and graduated from high school there. She lived later in Queens Village, where she supervised the beauticians at Creedmore Hospital. Ms. Breitweg had had a summer house in Springs since 1964. She was an active member for 22 years of the altar guild at Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church in East Hampton and was also a eucharistic minister there. Her family said that she was “devoted to her faith, family, and church.”

When she was 28 years old she married William F. Smith, who died unexpectedly in 1950. In 1968 she married Michael Breitweg. Ms. Breitweg is survived by two of the children she had with her first husband: Kenneth B. Smith of East Hampton and Gareth Smith of New Hyde Park. Her son William Smith II died before her. Two grandchildren, one great-grandchild, several nieces and nephews, and two sisters survive her as well: Phyllis Brodie of Carle Place and Jeanie Anderson of Lindenhurst.

The family received visitors on Sunday afternoon and evening at the Yardley and Pino Funeral Home in East Hampton. On Monday morning, a funeral Mass was said at Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church, followed by burial at Calverton National Cemetery in Riverhead. The family has suggested memorial donations to East End Hospice, P.O. Box 1048, Westhampton Beach 11978.
