Sue Maynard

Sue Maynard, a longtime Montauk resident, died in her sleep on Friday at  home in Montauk, at the age of 62. Death was attributed to complications of heart disease.

Born in Taunton, Mass., on Feb. 22, 1954, she grew up there, attending Sacred Heart Elementary School and graduating from Taunton High School. Her parents were Charles R. Vickers Sr. and the former Julia Zolnoski.

Growing up in Taunton, she was near to Cape Cod, and she moved there after her divorce from a career military man. She loved the beaches and the ocean air, her brother, Charles Vickers Jr., said — and also the New England Patriots, said Tom Phillips, a Montauk friend: “Tom Brady could do no wrong.” She was a big fan of NASCAR as well.

Ms. Maynard, who came to live in Montauk about 30 years ago, worked in several of the hamlet’s hostelries, among them Roughriders, the Montauk Manor, and the Surf Club. She also worked at the 1770 House in East Hampton, in its kitchen. She had their mother’s love of cooking, her brother said, adding that her pastries were “spectacular.” In recent years, she was a fixture behind the counter at Montauk Liquors and Wines.

She had one son, James Maynard, whom she deeply loved, taking great pride in all his accomplishments. Besides her son, who lives in Port Jefferson, and her brother, who lives in Taunton, she leaves another brother, Jeffrey Vickers of San Geronimo, Calif., and two grandchildren. A sister, Sheila Costa, died before her.

Graveside services will take place on Saturday at 5 p.m. at Fort Hill Cemetery in Montauk.
