Fri, 06/19/2020 - 16:52

A graveside service for Renee Schilhab Bullock will be held at Cedar Lawn Cemetery on Cooper Lane in East Hampton on Saturday at 11:30 a.m. The Very Rev. Denis C. Brunelle of St. Luke's Episcopal Church in East Hampton will give remarks. 

Yardley and Pino Funeral Home in East Hampton is handling the arrangements. Ms. Schilhab Bullock, a former journalist, landscape designer, musician, and documentary filmmaker, died of liver and peritoneal cancer at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C. on June 14. Formerly of Amagansett, she is survived by her husband, Tony Bullock, a former East Hampton Town Supervisor, and their children Monty and Alex.

The family has suggested memorial donations in her name to the Tregaron Conservancy in Washington, D.C., at tregaron.org. A full obituary will appear in a future issue.
