Services Begin Friday for Daisy Bowe, Longtime Bridgehampton Teacher

Visiting hours will be held on Friday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. at the First Baptist Church in Bridgehampton for Daisy C. Bowe of East Hampton, who died on Tuesday at the age of 61.

Ms. Bowe, a graduate of the Bridgehampton School who returned there to become an elementary teacher for more than 30 years, had a positive impact on hundreds of students over the years, and she had been named teacher of the year multiple times.

"She was an extremely remarkable person who touched so many young lives, and made such an impression on so many young people . . . and was loved by many," said John Wyche, a former member of the Bridgehampton School Board and an ad representative for The Star who knew Ms. Bowe for some 50 years.

A funeral will be held at the church on Saturday at 1 p.m., followed by burial at Edgewood Cemetery in Bridgehampton.
