Jeanne Frankl, 92, East Hampton Democratic Leader

Between the years 2011 and 2018, members of the East Hampton Town Board could be pretty confident that Jeanne Frankl was somewhere in the audience during their public meetings. Chances were that she would have something to say, too, on whatever they were discussing — open space, beach access, affordable housing, you name it — and would enlarge on her comments the week after, in a letter to the editor of this newspaper. Ms. Frankl died at home on Town Lane on June 9, six days after her 92nd birthday, having been in failing health for two years.

Joseph A. Lombardi

Joseph Anthony Lombardi of Springs, who with his late wife, Nicola, was “a true pioneer in the specialty food industry,” died on May 10 of complications of esophageal cancer and Parkinson’s disease. He was 81.

Lorraine R. Krimsky

Family was the most important thing to Lorraine R. Krimsky, who had been a junior high school math teacher in the New York City school system for 25 years. A summer resident of Hedges Banks Drive in East Hampton, Mrs. Krimksy died at home in Weston, Mass., on March 10. She was 93 and had been in declining health.

Elaine Kirshenbaum, 92

Elaine Kirshenbaum, who retired from a long health-care career in 1982 as director of nursing of the Psychiatric Department of Coney Island Hospital and later owned Elaine’s Room Antiques on Pantigo Road in East Hampton, died in hospice care on May 6 in Delray Beach, Fla., of causes related to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
