Sept. 19, 1931 - June 22, 2024

Eleanor Marie Glennon, a cosmetologist who owned her own hair salon for 46 years in Bohemia, where she was born and raised, died after a stroke at home in Amagansett on June 22. She was 92.

Mrs. Glennon was a part-time Amagansett resident since 1970 and a year-round resident since 1994, enjoying fishing, clamming, and knitting, as well as bingo and “all sorts of gambling,” her family said. As a cook, she was often “feeding a family of six but making food for 12.”

“Everybody was welcome at her house, and family was the most important thing to her,” her son Patrick Glennon of Springs said.

Born on Sept. 19, 1931, to Henry Schultz and the former Anna Hampl, she attended trade school for cosmetology in New York City.

In September of 1951, she and Jack Glennon were married. The couple would go on to have four children, rearing them in Bohemia. In addition to Patrick Glennon, they are Darlene Garofalo, who lives in Virginia and Puerto Rico, Cheryl Galasso, who lives in Florida, and Darryl Glennon of Virginia.

She also leaves seven grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, and a sister, Rosemary Ruzicka of Bohemia. Her husband died in 2018.

Mrs. Glennon was cremated. Her family has suggested memorial donations to East End Hospice, online at eeh.org.

A Short Parade That’s Become a Big Success

For the first Am O'Gansett Parade in 2009, the organizers jokingly promised Clydesdales, Macy's balloons, and floats. With good humor and an enthusiastic response from the community, the very short parade has been an annual event ever since.
