Jane Carleton Santoro, a former resident of Port Washington and Manhasset, passed away on April 24, 2008. Her two daughters, Jane Santoro of Vermont and Lee Della Corte of Phoenix, AZ survive her.

Born and raised in New York City Jane was proud to have attended the Spence School.

Before her marriage to Dr. George Santoro, she worked as a lab assistant. After his death in 1966 Mrs. Santoro worked in Bonwit Teller's gift department. Many local residents would remember her for her knowledge and help choosing and purchasing gifts especially Boehm or Cybis porcelain. After retirement, Jane spent much time participating in the activities at the senior center in Port Washington. Eight years ago she moved to Scottsdale AZ, where she became known for her watercolor paintings.

A memorial service was held in Scottsdale. On Monday June 9, 2008 there will be a memorial service held at Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx where she will be buried with her family.

Donations in her name should be made to the American Cancer Society.

Camille George Ruggiero, known fondly as "Camie," died at home surrounded by friends and family on May 20, 2008.

She was born in Albany, was graduated from Cathedral Academy, then received her B.A. at the College of St. Rose and her M.A. from N.Y. State Teachers' College. She majored in political science, diplomatic service and education. A tempting offer to serve in the U.S. Diplomatic Corps in Japan was declined by Camille because her late husband Bill's Rx for a happy marriage proved irresistible.

Camille and Bill were extraordinary together, opening the renowned Town Hall Pharmacy in 1939. They held each other in the highest regard, completely devoted and dedicated to one another.

Camille was a member and Chaplin of the American Legion, as well as the Great Neck Woman's Club and Manhasset Community Club where she was a friend to many and a brilliant bridge player.

She was also an active member of St. Mary's Church where she was a Eucharistic minister and lector. Most importantly, Camille was a friend and confidant to those lucky enough to embrace her guidance and wisdom. She was a woman well ahead of her time and a force to be reckoned with. A descriptive quote from her college yearbook aptly states, "Camille M. George: Whose nature is so far from doing harms, that she suspects none."

The funeral Mass was beautifully celebrated at St. Mary's Church and burial was at Holy Rood Cemetery.

Sincerest thanks to all the many thoughtful friends who have helped and provided comfort during this sad time.
